Set in the highly sought-after Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Encounter Mara offers guests access to some of the best wildlife viewing in East Africa. The award-winning camp is set in the shade of a thick acacia forest with sweeping views over the savannah. The wildlife viewing is excellent year–round, and this, combined with the comfort of the camp and its excellent environmental credentials, means there are few more rewarding places than Encounter Mara to experience this slice of the Kenyan wilderness.
The conservancy is known for its prolific wildlife and award-winning sustainability model that balances the needs of local communities, wildlife, and tourism. It has an even higher density of animals than the neighboring Masai Mara National Reserve and one of the world’s most concentrated lion populations.
While the adjacent Masai Mara National Reserve is known for being on the route of the Great Migration, the Mara Naboisho Conservancy has its own ‘secret’ version: The Loita Migration sees thousands of wildebeest and zebras travelling through the conservancy to Loita Plains.
