Asilia Naboisho Camp

Top choice in Masai Mara


So what if the tents, with their huge beds and indoor and outdoor showers, are among the most extravagant around. Why people really stay here is the opportunity to walk over animal-crammed savannah with an expert guide. If that wasn't enough, the wildlife viewing right outside the tents is superb, with big cats frequently passing in front of the camp.

There are nine tents here, wonderfully spread out across the gentle slope – some are so nicely submerged in the bush that getting there can be a walking safari in its own right. The decor in the tents and public areas is stylish and contemporary, and the atmosphere warm and relaxed thanks to Della and Rich, the engaging camp hosts. The tents also get the right mix between luxury and comfort and a sense of being open to the elements. A coveted Gold Eco Rated award issued by Ecotourism Kenya is another selling point.

Activities include walking safaris, night drives, horse riding, fly camping and visits to local villages and community projects.
