Karen Blixen Camp (Masai Mara) Kenya
Location:
Karen Blixen Camp offers an authentic ‘yesteryear’ experience for visitors wishing to gain that little extra from their safari. One truly gets a feeling of the early 1920’s era when Masai Mara was seldom visited, and elaborate and comfortable camps were set up providing a luxurious and stylish retreat after each day’s adventure.
Karen Blixen Camp is an eco friendly luxury camp set on the banks of the Mara River. The location is spectacular; throughout the day elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras and impalas come for a drink, while crocodiles and a large resident hippo pod rest lazily in the river. Even lions and leopards occasionally come to this favored drinking spot.
Accommodation:
The Camp comprises 22 luxurious en-suite tents; each set on a beautiful mahogany platform with a spacious veranda completed with cushion daybed from which one can enjoy an afternoon siesta, taking in the wonderful surroundings.
All 22 tents are placed along the river with a huge veranda at the front. Each tent has a private bathroom with WC, twin washbasins and an outdoor shower with view to the sky. The water is heated by gas and there is 24 hour electricity in all tents provided by solar panels. Our family unit consists of two tents with a shared veranda.
Facilities:
Camp facilities also include a restaurant, a bar, a lounge, a gift shop with wireless internet and a swimming pool. Our resident masseuse offers a wide range of wellness treatments.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant or bush garden from where one has an incredible close view of the Mara River and the wild animals coming to drink. One can also enjoy a romantic bush dinner set beneath the starlit African night. Bush breakfast is the perfect surprise after an exciting morning game drive with astonishing view over the Mara plains. /p>
Karen Blixen was passionate about cooking and our chefs have found many of her original recipes. Dining at the Camp captures the taste of these long gone colonial days with classical cooking from the French, English, Italian and Danish kitchens. Modern day’s love for cosmopolitan food with clear notes from the Far East, India or Kenya’s own traditional cooking is also served alongside the African continent’s finest wines.
