Everybody is welcome to camp at either our public or private campsites, with no prior booking for our public campsites, and for our private campsites you are able to make your reservation through the booking form on this page. Please note that none of our campsites are fenced.
We insist that campers hire two rangers for night-time security. Please note that food and accommodation is not needed for the rangers, and the Mara Conservancy will transport the rangers to and from your campsite.
