Mara Plains Camp

  HOME

Mara Plains Camp (formerly Film Safaris Camp) is hidden in a grove of natural forest on the bends of the Ntiakitiak River that cuts through the Olare Orok Conservancy, an exclusive Maasai owned conservation area on the northern boundary of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Forty five thousand acres of privacy at the heart of Kenya’s annual wildebeest migration and a vital dry season resource for a diversity of wildlife ensures great game viewing throughout the year. Mara Plains is helping pioneer a new and successful conservation partnership with the Maasai landowners, which benefit conservation, wildlife and the local communities.

Mara Plains Camp has been founded by two film producer cameramen combining their expertise for a unique insight into the world of natural history film making and animal behavior: Warren Samuels, a naturalist and well known wildlife cameraman of BBC Big Cat Diary fame with over twenty years experience filming countless natural history productions; and Rob O’Meara whose experience in production and post-production with years of editing and graphic design puts the stories together. Here is a chance to experience the best of Africa - unscripted, undirected and wildly rated.

Sean Hartley, an experienced Kenyan guide and established photographer, hosts the camp. By pre-arrangement, and subject to availability, Warren or Rob offer their expertise. All share a keen desire to impart their considerable knowledge and passion for the wild to anyone eager to listen, learn and watch with them.
