Our Camp

Wildlife on the plains close to Mlima camp in the Maasai Mara

Prime Location

Our camp is situated in the heart of the Maasai Mara, close to prime wildlife habitat — reducing travel time and increasing the time you spend in the field.

Understanding the unique needs of wildlife photographers, we’ve designed our facilities and schedules to prioritise field time, ensuring you have every opportunity to capture those once-in-a-lifetime shots.

The camp accommodates up to 10 guests plus your tour leader in four self-contained cottages: 8 guests in twin share, and Cottages 1 and 2 are family rooms sleeping up to three each, so up to 10 guests. A separate Guide Room is kept for the tour leader. No single supplement is charged. Children under 18 are charged at 50%. Every cottage includes:

  • A king-size double bed (or two twin beds) with Egyptian-cotton bed linen and cotton bath towels.

We are located along the north-west edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The closest airstrip is Mara Musiara, around 30 minutes’ drive from camp; alternatively it is about a six-hour drive from Nairobi to Musiara Gate. We can help organise all your Nairobi transfers and domestic flights.
