Your Home in the Wild — Stay at Our Masai Mara Camp
Welcome to your peaceful retreat in the heart of Masai Mara, nestled at the foothills of Oldonyo Loip Hill, just 10 minutes from Mpuaai Gate (formerly Ol Kiombo Gate) and 15 minutes from Talek Gate. Every stay is all-inclusive: accommodation, all meals, morning and evening game drives, and nature walks.
We’re not a resort. We’re a warm, family-run Masai Mara Safari Stay, you’ll be greeted by name, guided by people who grew up near this hill, and looked after properly at the end of a long day in the bush.

Why Choose Mara Siligi Camp?
Here’s what guests say sets Mara Siligi apart:
- We live here. This isn’t a managed chain. It’s a family-run Masai Mara safari camp, and it shows in everything — from how guests are received to how guides approach a sighting.
- Local Masai guides who grew up near Oldonyo Loip Hill lead every game drive and nature walk. Their knowledge of this land is not the kind you learn in a classroom.
- Unhurried safaris — game drives are shaped around what’s happening in the bush that day, not a fixed resort schedule.
Whether you’re after a small, eco-conscious budget friendly camp near Talek or a mid range Masai Mara stay with full amenities, Mara Siligi is one of the few camps in this price range that runs fully on solar energy and keeps group sizes small enough that the Mara still feels wild.
Things to Do During Your Masai Mara Safari Stay
No two Masai Mara safari stays look the same at Mara Siligi Camp. The day’s programme is shaped around what’s moving in the bush — not a fixed resort timetable. Guides adjust in real time: if there’s a predator sighting at dawn, you leave at dawn.
Activities available during your stay:
- Guided game drives — morning and evening, covering Big Five sightings, Great Wildebeest Migration routes, and active predator zones
- Nature walks led by Masai guides
- Birdwatching safaris (400+ species in the ecosystem)
- Sunset drinks in the bush
- Masai cultural village visits
- Hot Air Balloon Safaris over the Mara
- Beadwork workshops with local Maasai artisans
- Tree planting — offset your footprint
- Stargazing sessions under open Mara skies
Location
15 minutes from Talek Gate
10 minutes from Mpuaai Gate
Mara Siligi Camp sits at the foothills of Oldonyo Loip Hill — one of the most strategically located safari resort near Talek in the ecosystem. From here, guests reach the main game loops within minutes of leaving camp: before the large lodge convoys have finished breakfast.
That proximity makes a real difference during the Great Wildebeest Migration (July–October), predator chases, and the quieter dry-season mornings when big cats are most active. Among Masai Mara camps and lodges in the mid range bracket, few can match this location for gate access.
Our Location = Your Advantage
Being this close to both gates means you’re in the game loops within minutes of leaving camp — no long morning drives before the wildlife starts. For visitors coming specifically to the Talek area, Mara Siligi works well as a safari resort near Talek: central to the ecosystem, quiet enough to sleep, and small enough to get you out first. Guests visiting for the Great Migration find the proximity to the northern game circuits especially valuable during the July–October season.
A Word to Photographers
We welcome wildlife photographers from around the world and offer a dedicated lounge to edit, review, and discuss your work. Mara Siligi’s vantage points provide excellent natural light, and early morning drives give you the perfect opportunity for stunning shots. We also offer custom photography tour packages — enquire when you book.
Book Your Stay at This Safari Camp in Masai Mara
Whether you’re planning your first African safari or returning to the Mara, Mara Siligi Camp is one of the few masai mara safari stays where the experience is genuinely personal — not just marketed as such. Reach out with your dates, group size, and preferences. We’ll take it from there.
Because out here, it’s not just about where you stay — it’s about how you feel while you’re here.
Dining Experience
We offer both indoor dining and bush meals in nature — a choice that suits different moods and weather. Mornings start with fresh, locally sourced breakfasts while overlooking the savannah. Evenings end with hearty dinners around a campfire or in the tented lounge, depending on preference. As an all-inclusive mid range tented camp in Masai Mara, every meal is included — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with no surcharges for bush settings.
