Offbeat Mara Camp Kenya

A Traditional Safari Experience

In the Mara North Conservancy, not far from the Olare Orok river, Offbeat Mara offers access to exclusive game viewing away from the busy Mara Game Reserve. This is a private and exclusive camp with just seven luxury tents and a traditional African 'bush ambience'. The Offbeat lion pride can be heard roaring across the valley and are usually a short distance away from the camp.

Offbeat Mara Camp is open from December to mid-April and June to mid-November and if you stay from mid-July to mid-October, you may witness the famous wildebeest and zebra migration.
