GAMEWATCHERS ADVENTURE CAMP OL KINYEI - OL KINYEI CONSERVANCY - MASAI MARA

The camp is sited in a shady setting in a grove of Acacia trees within the Ol Kinyei Conservancy within the greater Masai Mara - an exclusive 17500 acre wilderness set aside as a wildlife sanctuary with a wide variety of species including all the big cats.  The area has open plains, forests, rivers and stunning views.

The Gamewatchers Adventure Camp offers the same high quality wildlife safari experience provided by the top-end safari camps, with game viewing in 4×4 safari vehicles escorted by top class Maasai guides and spotters in an exclusive wildlife conservancy far away from the tourist minibuses. However, this is at a hugely reduced price, achieved by staying in a more basic adventure camp which is more like real camping instead of the luxury accommodation of the expensive up-market tented lodges.

LOCATION

Ol Kinyei Adventure Camp is located in the Ol Kenyei Conservancy in the Masai Mara. The camp can be reached from Nairobi by daily scheduled light aircraft flights from Wilson Airport Nairobi to the nearby Naboisho Ol Seki airstrip. 

CAMP

Safari accommodation is in small dome tents which accommodate 2 adults or can fit one child with 2 adults.  The tents are 6 ft high and 10ft x 10ft square and are insect-proof.  Each tent has its own private bathroom in a cubicle located immediately behind the tent with flush toilet, wash basin and safari shower. Clients bring their own sleeping bag and a towel - or these can be hired at a small fee - and sleep on comfortable mattresses on the tent floor. Pillows are provided.

The safari camp is fully staffed 24 hours per day and the camp service staff do all the work associated with camping, like washing up, heating water for showers, doing the cooking, serving the food and the daily house-keeping of cleaning the tents and bathrooms.  An experienced safari cook at the camp prepares the daily meals. Food is of a high quality and all meals are included - Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the dining tent and picnic lunches are provided for full day safaris into Amboseli National Park.

The camp is hosted by the safari guide who is a professionally qualified guide with KPSGA certification.

Mineral water is provided daily at camp and on safari drives and walks. Drinks other than mineral water are not included in the price but beer, wine and sodas are available at reasonable prices and guests may bring their own drinks if they wish.
