With an attractive setting on the banks of the Maasai Mara’s River Talek, Tipilikwani Mara Safari Camp offers a high standard of accommodation for a Kenya safari. The camp overlooks the plains of the Mara region and has an exclusive feel with just 20 luxurious riverfront safari tents. High quality game drives are taken in 4×4 vehicles in the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Tipilikwani Mara Safari Camp prides itself on its high standard of cuisine and excellent service. Breakfast and lunch (three courses) are taken al fresco where possible and dinner is a four-course affair served by candle-light in the elegant dining area or outside under the stars.
Activities from camp have a focus on life in and around the Maasai Mara – its flora and fauna and the life of the local Maasai people. Premium game drives introduce guests not only to Africa’s Big Five but also to the lesser-known species. These game drives are taken in open sided 4×4 safari vehicles for the best possible game-viewing experience.

Food is placed every night on a tree table at the far end of the dining room to attract bush babies and genet cats.
