Mlima Mara

Mlima is a private, exclusive-use camp in the Maasai Mara, built by John Haskew — a working wildlife cinematographer who knows what is needed for specialist photographic safaris.

You can have exclusive use of the whole camp for your group, purpose-modified photography vehicles, expert Maasai driver-guides on a shared sighting network, and full catering, housekeeping and logistics handled on the ground — so you can focus on running the trip, not the camp.

We work with tour operators, travel agents and photography tour leaders on STO terms. Please register for access to our Partners Area, to view our net rate card and other information. Registered partners sign in with a one-time code emailed to their registered address.
