Basecamp Mara Bush Houses are three separate houses in the Ol Chorro Losoit valley within the Mara North Conservancy, each taken on an exclusive-use basis by one party. Mara House and Acacia House each sleep six across three bedrooms; Dik Dik House sleeps four across two. Guests also have access to the neighbouring Lemek Conservancy. Activities are day and night game drives, guided walking safaris, bush meals and sundowners, balloon flights, migration river crossings in season, birding, visits to a rhino sanctuary, massage, and cultural sessions covering beadmaking and storytelling. The houses are priced per house rather than per person, which suits family groups travelling together.
What sets it apart
They are let whole at a per-house rate rather than per person, giving a private house with its own staff and vehicle inside a conservancy that otherwise offers only shared camps.
Who it suits
Family and friends groups; exclusive use; combining Mara North and Lemek.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Greater Maasai Mara, Kenya. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
