About Emboo
Emboo is Asilia's newest addition, having joined the portfolio in December 2025. The camp has been operating in the heart of the Maasai Mara Reserve and is now part of the Asilia family under a long-term lease agreement built on shared values and a commitment to sustainable tourism.
This partnership makes sense: Emboo sits right in the pulse of the Mara, where the wildlife action happens daily. It's a camp for guests who want close encounters with nature, genuine connections with local Maasai communities, and fresh, locally sourced meals, all without sacrificing comfort or the planet's wellbeing.
Sustainability here isn't a talking point; it's how things work. Fully solar-powered with no backup generators, running an all-electric vehicle fleet, and recycling or reusing nearly everything on site, Emboo demonstrates what practical sustainability looks like. Guests can see it in action, from greywater systems to biogas production, and experience the difference that silent electric safaris make.
The camp blends adventure with comfort: mornings tracking wildlife, evenings around the fire, and always that connection to place that makes the Mara compelling. Emboo's team shares Asilia's commitment to doing things properly, with integrity, respect for people and place, and a focus on long-term impact.

Accommodation Options
Family Tent
Emboo's Family Tent comprises two separate bedrooms, each available as either double or twin configuration, with its own en-suite bathroom. The layout provides space and privacy for families travelling together, with wardrobes, writing desks, and drinks stations in each room, and a shared entrance connecting the two bedrooms.
Like Emboo's Guest Tents, the Family Tent is tucked into the tree canopy with river views, designed with natural materials and interiors inspired by the colours of the Lilac Breasted Roller. The tent accommodates families with children aged 5 years and older, offering comfortable, modern accommodation with proximity to nature.
Both bedrooms feature rain showers, private lounges, and the same attention to sustainable design that defines the camp. It's a practical option for families who want the full Emboo experience while maintaining their own space.
Guest Tent (Twin/Double)
Emboo's Guest Tents are tucked into the tree canopy overlooking the Talek River, available as either double or twin configuration. The design is modern and comfortable, with interiors inspired by the colours of the Lilac Breasted Roller, reflecting the landscape around you.
Each tent includes a private lounge, bedroom, and en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and river views. The forest and river sit right outside, and wildlife are regular visitors: hippos grunt from the water, birds provide the soundtrack, and you can spot animals from your private balcony.
The tents blend contemporary comfort with proximity to nature. Whether you're reading in the lounge, listening to the sounds of the river, or watching the Mara unfold from your balcony, the connection to place is immediate and genuine.
Dining & Cuisine
Farm to Fork meals
Emboo's culinary team prepares meals with produce from the camp's vertical and hydroponic gardens, located 100 steps from the kitchen. The menu blends Kenyan flavours with global influences, using fresh ingredients picked the same day they're served.
Dietary requirements are accommodated, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-intolerant options. Inform the team in advance of any allergies or preferences so the kitchen can prepare accordingly.
Bottled drinking water is available throughout the day. The bar serves Kenyan teas and coffees, cocktails and mocktails using garden ingredients, and a selection of wines and spirits.
Meals are served in the main area overlooking the river, with the option for private dining or bush breakfasts following morning activities.
