About Elephant Pepper Camp
Located in the Mara North Conservancy, the heart of the Masai Mara ecosystem, Elephant Pepper Camp is the perfect base to explore the wonders of the Mara. The vast, fertile plains of the Maasai Mara boast a plethora of wildlife; with over 450 bird species and both resident and transient populations of lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few, the plains are dense with game.
Elephant Pepper Camp is perfect for those wanting to observe the spectacle of the migration, classified among the “Seven Wonders of the World”, when, from July to November, over 1.3 million wildebeest and zebra cross from the Serengeti in search of greener pastures.
The camp’s remote location allows the stars to shine bright at night, undimmed by harsh lighting; guests enjoy the unique experience of listening to the sounds of lion, leopard, and hyena foraging and hunting while being cosseted with traditional and modern comforts such as a campfire and cozy duvets.

Game Drives
Elephant Pepper Camp has open game drive vehicles. The current fleet is new, specially fitted, 4×4 Toyota Landcruisers. The vehicles are unrivaled with feature enhancements specifically designed for comfort and photography – open-sided with 3 rows of seats, photographic equipment stands, and charging sockets. Guests will share game drives unless “exclusive use of the vehicle” has been prebooked at an extra charge.
Guided Bush Walks
Take the time to leave the car behind and enjoy the small things – animal tracks, flowers, and micro-ecosystems.
Elephant Pepper Camp has experienced walking guides, together with Masai from the local area, that can take you on a delightful guided bush walk from camp – a whole new perspective of the ecosystem around you.
Bush Breakfasts, Bush Dinners and Sundowners
Take a moment to sit back, and enjoy the spectacular views, the smells, the colors, and the gentle breeze. Bush breakfasts are a chance to enjoy a full breakfast, al fresco, in the middle of the plains, surrounded by wildlife.
“Sundowners” are a safari tradition – after a day of safari; stop, and watch the spectacular sunset; traditionally with a gin and tonic in hand!
