About Basecamp Mara Houses

Tucked away in the tranquil Ol Chorro Losoit Valley near the Lemek Hills, Basecamp Mara Houses is a collection of three houses in the heart of the private Mara North Conservancy. Mara House and Acacia House each sleep six in three bedrooms, while Dik Dik House is a cosy two-bedroom retreat for four.

Each has its own character, and all are booked on an exclusive-use basis for families or groups who want the privacy of their own home while on safari in Kenya.

Every house comes fully staffed, with a dedicated team of wildlife guide, personal chef, room steward, waiter and household manager, plus its own safari vehicle, to make every stay seamless and memorable.
