Basecamp Masai Mara · Eco-Friendly Riverside Camp on Talek River

Basecamp Masai Mara – fittingly referred to as the ‘mother of all camps’ by our staff – is where our story started. Lovingly run by our Maasai staff, BCMM is as much a home as it is a tourism destination. Here guests become more than visitors, they become part of the Maasai community. We welcome you to join us around the fireplace, for story sharing and star gazing.

Accommodation Highlights

  • All tents are fitted with bio-flush toilets, solar-heated safari showers, and a private balcony
