About Basecamp Adventure
Basecamp Adventure is an intimate camp of just six tents on a beautiful, forested bend of the Talek River, right next to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Shaded by trees, with views across the river to the plains beyond, it embodies the essence of simplicity under canvas, with an abundance of open space for intrepid explorers seeking a true atmosphere of adventure. It is the ideal base for guests who want to go beyond the game drive and connect with Maasai culture and the conservation work that protects this land.

Accommodation Options
Double Tents
Each of Basecamp Adventure's six tents is a peaceful retreat in its own right fitted with a comfortable double bed, bio-flush toilet, and solar-heated shower, all powered by the sun and treading gently on the land. Step onto your private terrace and let the views do the rest: the river winding below, the plains stretching endlessly beyond, and the quiet rhythm of the Maasai Mara unfolding right before you.
Family Tents
Perfect for families or small groups, the Basecamp Adventure Family Tent offers two separate wings, each with a comfortable double bed and private bathroom with bio-flush toilet giving everyone their own space without sacrificing togetherness.
A generous deluxe balcony connects the two wings, creating a wonderful shared space to unwind, swap stories from the day's game drive, and soak in uninterrupted views over the river and the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Complimentary in-room WiFi ensures families stay connected, while the world just beyond the terrace gently reminds you why you came.
