Brackenhurst is proud to be associated with Encounter Mara, an exclusive, luxury, eco-friendly tented safari camp in the world-famous Masai Mara.

Situated in the private Mara Naboisho Conservancy, the camp’s extraordinary riverside location with stunning views provides exclusive and unrivaled game viewing opportunities without the hordes of vehicles accustomed to other areas of the Masai Mara. The valley in which the camp is located boasts impressive densities of game in its immediate surroundings, including the big cats and the annual great wildebeest migration the Masai Mara is renowned for. Day and night game drives, walking safaris, guided star-gazing and cultural encounters fill guests’ days with an enchanting rhythm that is never rushed or superficial and is always open to special requests or unique interests.

The conservancy itself, officially launched in December 2010, is an inspiring model of community-centred and sustainable conservation, providing direct benefit to local Masai communities

Each of the camp’s 12 twelve en-suite guest tents is custom-designed and spacious, with its own private veranda positioned to optimize game viewing. The lounge and dining tents with reading areas and rustic lounge chairs serve as a central meeting area and provide additional space for relaxation between activities and meals. After dark, guests are escorted along lit paths by trained guards (askaris) due to the possibility of wild animals passing through camp.
