NAIBOR, LITTLE NAIBOR AND NAIBOR WILDERNESS – MASAI MARA RESERVE

Deep in the heart of the world famous Masai Mara National Reserve, the Naibor Camps are hidden in a grove of woodland on the banks of the Talek River.  There are three areas of camp – Naibor Tented Camp, Little Naibor and Naibor Wilderness Camp.

You can enjoy fabulous wildlife viewing throughout the year and Naibor Camps are wonderfully placed for the wildebeest migration – being close to all the major wildebeest crossing sites over the Mara River.

Naibor Camps are about 2km from the point where the Talek River flows into the Mara River, just about the very heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve. This is a superb location to explore the Masai Mara habitat, host to a vast array of wildlife. Many species of herbivores and ungulates support the many carnivores living here. There is fabulous wildlife viewing throughout the year, and from July to November the annual wildebeest migration passes through the area.

LOCATION

Naibor Camps are set in the Masai Mara Reserve on the banks of the Talek River.

Access is via scheduled flights to the Masai Mara and Ol Kiombo is the nearest airstrip to camp.

CAMPS

 Naibor Camp is a stylish and contemporary tented camp in the heart of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. All seven of the large luxury tents has a private 10-foot veranda complete with day beds and private dining areas and the en suite bathrooms all have flushing toilets and safari shower, filled daily with hot water on request. The tents nestle amongst a riverine forest and are spaced so that each has a unique view of the surrounding bush and wildlife.

Little Naibor  is located within the immediate vicinity of Naibor Camp and consists of two spacious Moroccan style suites which are uniquely designed.  Each suite contains a double and a twin-bedded room, with their own bathrooms, inter-joined by a communal lounge and veranda area.  A dedicated team of staff caters to your every need. Each of these stunning suites have their own private fire places and dining areas set up strategically located overlooking the Talek River with complete privacy and spectacular views. Little Naibor can be booked and used as an exclusive private arrangement or used in conjunction with the main Naibor Camp and its facilities. It is perfect for families or couples who want to combine exclusivity with high safari luxury.

Naibor Wilderness is tucked away amidst a dense grove of woodland on the banks of the hippo-bearing Talek River.  Naibor Wilderness offers guests the most charmed and romantic of bush existences – that of the pioneering hunters and explorers who first ventured into the Mara Plains living an adventure but never far from the most extravagant of colonial luxury. Hosting only six guests at any one time, Naibor Wilderness is small, private and personal. This allows for levels of service and hospitality that are exceptional, even in a country famed for precisely those two qualities. Whilst maintaining its guests’ privacy from its larger sister-camps – Naibor and Little Naibor, Wilderness enjoys the best of both worlds, sharing the same stunning location and access to all their facilities, including a library, a bush spa, and sunrise balloon safaris.

ACTIVITIES AND WILDLIFE

Game Drives – the main focus at Naibor Camps is to drive out from camp daily to observe and photograph the extraordinary concentrations of wildlife that can be viewed close to camp.

Bush meals and sundowners – enjoy bush meals and sundowners out of camp in conjunction with a game drive or return for a drink around the Naibor Camp fire.

Hot Air Ballooning – can also be arranged (at extra cost).

Spa – the in-house Masseuse can soothe weary muscles with a professional massage at the Naibor Camps Spa (at extra cost).

GIVING BACK

Naibor Camps aids and involves nearby Masai communities in preserving their wildlife and environment and provides them with a source of income.  Our goal is to enable the rural populations to benefit from their natural resources in a sustainable and non-destructive way to better care for their families and improve their standard of living. As far as possible, Naibor Camps recruits staff for employment from the nearby community. In addition the community receives a direct contribution for every guest per night in the camp. This contribution is then dedicated to social development projects in the community.
