About Gnu Mara Migration Camp

This Camp is Located in 

Gnu Mara Migration Camp is an exclusive luxury tented camp located in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara ecosystem, offering an intimate and immersive experience of Africa’s premier wildlife destination. Nestled near the banks of the Mara River, the camp provides prime access to the renowned Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and antelope traverse the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem in search of greener pastures. The location ensures guests are in close proximity to river crossings, one of the most dramatic spectacles of the migration.

It was established to provide an authentic safari experience with a touch of modern comfort, Gnu Mara Migration Camp blends seamlessly into the surrounding wilderness. The camp’s design is eco-conscious, with luxurious tents that maintain harmony with the natural environment. Beyond the migration, the camp’s location in the Maasai Mara Reserve means unparalleled wildlife encounters year-round, including sightings of the Big Five, cheetahs, giraffes, and an abundance of bird species.

ACCESS & LOCATION of Gnu Mara Migration Camp

By Air

There are flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to one of the nearby airstrips in the Maasai Mara, such as Ol Kiombo or Kichwa Tembo Airstrip. The flight takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Rift Valley and the Mara ecosystem. Upon landing, the camp is a short 30- to 45-minute scenic game drive away.

By Road

The camp can be accessed via a 6 to 7 hour drive from Nairobi. The journey takes you through the Great Rift Valley with opportunities to stop and enjoy scenic viewpoints along the way. The last leg of the journey involves traversing dirt roads within the Maasai Mara Reserve. A 4×4 vehicle is recommended due to the rough terrain, especially during the rainy season.
