The Best Hotels Near Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp, by the Record

  1. Nine twelve-sided tents sit well apart from each other in Naboisho Conservancy, which keeps the Mara quieter and less convoyed than the famous park next door. This is a small, private safari camp: canvas walls, timber floors, leather armchairs, and a veranda pointed at the kind of view people move to Kenya for. The Michelin Guide awarded it two Keys. Game drives go at whatever pace you prefer, and the low guest count means the guides can actually make that promise.


  2. Pitched on the Talek River inside Masai Mara National Reserve, this luxury safari camp holds a Michelin 2 Keys and makes a point of testing how far the word "tent" can stretch. Quite far, it turns out: canvas walls give way to lavish en-suite bathrooms, indoor-outdoor showers, and a jacuzzi on every private deck. The open-air restaurant and lounge are where the camp gathers after a day in the bush, and a spa is on hand for anyone who finds game drives surprisingly tiring.
