Kensington Mara is a
luxury tented camp on the banks of the Talek River on the north
boundary of the Mara Reserve, located 2km west of the Sekenani gate.
Each of the six Suswa tents is luxuriously spread down the riverbank.
Each tent is
professionally furnished by Palacina, the design professionals behind
such luxurious properties as The Palms, and Breezes in Zanzibar. The
Masai theme is showcased with evocative metal headboards, lamps and
fixtures. Handwoven jute rugs accent the warm honey toned bed covers.
Hand carved accents showcase Masai art. Snuggle up at night under a
feather duvet in a sea of soft pillows. Each tent features two (2)
queen beds. Your personal tent attendant will make sure that the room
is meticulously cleaned, with bed turndown, a carefully drawn mosquito
net, and hot water bottle to warm your bed on chilly nights.
Each expansive tent has five areas. The open verandah is shaded, with
canvas director's chairs and thoughtfully placed reading table angled
to catch the best views of the Talek river immediately in front of
you. Enjoy a cool drink or spot of tea as you watch the theatre of the
wild on the far bank of the river.
Inside, the bedroom features special oversized arched windows allowing
cool breezes and warm light to wash through, while keeping the insects
outdoors. A canvas wardrobe is ready to house your clothes, while a
steamer trunk holds extra blankets. Side tables feature shining
paraffin lamps, with bright pressure lamps at your convenience for
nighttime reading in bed. The two queen size beds offer plenty of
space to relax in comfort. The tent is completely screened, plus there
are mosquito nets as an added comfort to ensure an uninterrupted
slumber.
Immediately behind the bedroom is a change area with ceramic sink on a
hand carved wooden counter with large mirror. A wooden rack has a full
set of plush towels. On your right, an enclosed bathroom with an
ensuite toilet. And to the left, the shower with hot and cold running
water.
