ASILIA REKERO CAMP – MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
Rekero Camp is ideally located for viewing the migration when vast herds of wildebeest and zebra cross back and forth between Kenya and Tanzania braving the dangers of rivers on their circular trek around the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Close to the Talek and Mara rivers in the south of the Masai Mara, Rekero lies in the heart of one of the most game rich areas in the Reserve. The camp is an intimate, comfortable and relaxed riverside safari camp in the heart of the African wilderness. Hippos grunt in the pools below, the smell of wild sage drifts through the air and herds of wildebeest and zebra often can be seen from the main deck as they cross the Talek River. The location means that fantastic game viewing can continue even when relaxing in camp.
LOCATION
Close to the Talek and Mara Rivers in the South of the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The nearest airstrip is Ol Kiombo which is around 20 minutes from camp.
CAMP
Rekero’s nine spacious tents are laid out along the edge of the Talek River under a network of shady trees. The suites are designed in classic safari style with a fresh, contemporary edge. Each tent has a fully plumbed en-suite bathroom with running hot-water shower and flushing toilet. To make the suites even more comfortable, each tent has a large private veranda with an inviting day bed or couch where you can take in a view of the river.
Two family tents are available at Rekero, featuring a king-sized bed (twin beds are available), 3 single beds and a fully plumbed en-suite bathroom with hot running shower and flushing toilet. The tents are in a unique location offering stunning views of the Talek River and its riverine forest.
Meals are usually enjoyed communally and the chefs are up at dawn preparing everything from scratch. For breakfast the camp offers either a light continental buffet spread or a full English fry-up as well as fresh fruit and juices. At lunch salads and veggies are served with a main course. If you prefer to stay out in the bush the camp can pack a picnic. At 4pm you can enjoy cake and tea or a refreshing iced coffee before your evening drive and dinner is three-courses after your game drive.
ACTIVITIES AND WILDLIFE
Rekero Camp is just 50 meters away from one of the regular wildebeest migration crossing points where the herds of zebra and wildebeest cross the Talek River. Outside migration season one of the highlights of staying in the Masai Mara is viewing the predators. There is a high concentration of lions — including our resident Rekero pride — plus cheetahs and leopards.
Shared vehicle game drives – available from Rekero in the morning, afternoon or as a full day option. The game drives can be tailored to your particular interest and you can book a private vehicle at extra cost.
Bush breakfasts & picnics – for those keen to get in some early morning game viewing or enjoy watching game all day the camp chef can prepare a delicious packed breakfast or lunch. Leave camp with the rising sun and enjoy a packed breakfast or lunch out in the bush.
Hot air ballooning – balloon safaris are a romantic way of experiencing the wilderness the Masai Mara as you fly silently over the plains teeming with herds of wildlife in the early morning with a champagne breakfast in the bush served on landing. Balloon safaris are an additional cost and we recommend booking in advance.
