Unfortunately, we visited during the
major rains in December 2006 and they were moving the camp further
away from the river! As a result we took only one picture!

| Offbeat Mara Camp is a
seasonal camp located on the Olare Orok river on Koyiaki Group Ranch.
This small and exclusive tented camp offers a truly private,
traditional safari experience with access to the famous Masai Mara
Game Reserve. Tucked away in a prime wildlife area, Offbeat Mara Camp provides guests with superb game viewing - lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo are all seen regularly. Most importantly, the camp is far from other lodges and camps. They aim to provide guests with great game viewing 'away from the masses'. The Masai Mara plays host to the annual migration from July to September. An enormous concentration of wildebeest, zebra and consequently predators pass through the surrounding plains. Unrestricted by game reserve rules around camp, guests can enjoy daytime game drives as well as night drives in fully equipped custom-built Land Cruisers; bush breakfasts, picnics and sundowners; walking safaris with armed guides. Guests also have full access to the Game Reserve, the Mara River and early morning balloon trips. The camp sleeps 12 guests in 6 large tents - 3 doubles and 3 twins. (an extra bed can be added to each tent for small children). Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with hot bucket showers, wash basins and flush toilets. The spacious tents are all furnished with large, hand made cedar beds, 24hour solar lighting and the finest linen. Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire. Delicious English breakfasts, lighter lunches and four course dinners are served each evening. Guests can relax in the bar and living room tent which is furnished with comfortable sofas, a writing desk and library with wildlife guide books. Offbeat Mara Camp works closely with the local Maasai community. Many local Maasai who helped build the camp with Piers Winkworth, the owner and head guide at Offbeat Mara Camp, are now working as camps staff and guides.
