Karen Blixen Safari Camp
Masai Mara
LOCATION:Karen Blixen Camp is set on the bank of the Mara River with the impressive Oloololo Escarpment in the front and the Mara plains behind; the location is spectacular; throughout the day elephants,giraffes, zebras and impalas come for a drink while a large hippo pod rest lazily in the river.
The Camp situated in the beautiful Mara NorthConservancy that forms the vital northwestern zone of the Masai Mara Ecosystem. The conservancy borders the Masai Mara National Reserve in the south of Kenya and is part of the Mara-Serengeti Ecosystem.
STYLE:Karen Blixen Camp offers an authentic ‘yesteryear’ experience for visitors wishing to gain that little extra from their safari. The Camp gives a feeling of the early 1920’s era with beautiful and comfortable furniture. Long gone are the days when staying in a tented camp meant roughing it. You will find that Karen Blixen Camp is a step back in time with the luxury of today.
ACCOMMODATION:The Camp compromise 22 luxurious en-suite canvas tents (4.6m x 8m),each set on a beautiful mahogany platform with a spacious veranda (5m x 13m) completed with cushion daybed from which one can enjoy an afternoon siesta, taking in the wonderful surroundings. All tents are placed along the rive. Our family unit consists of two tents with a shared veranda. Each tent has a private bathroom with WC, twin washbasins and an outdoor shower with view to the sky. Tents can be configured for double or twin occupancy. For families travelling with children a 3rd or a 4th bed can be added.
GUESTS AREAS:The open plan ‘mess’ area, built on a raised mahogany deck, is beautifully located on the banks of the Mara River overlooking a resident hippo pod providing guests with endless entertainment.The mess area is furnished with accurate reproductions of Karen Blixen’s private furniture. It comprises the reception, restaurant and lounge area with a home-style bar. Comfortable sofas give a welcoming and cozy retreat for the weary traveler while enjoying a before-dinner drink. Around the campfire one can share the safari adventure of the day, listen to the sounds of the night and look at the magnificent African starlit sky. Camp facilities also include a gift shop with wireless internet, and a swimming pool.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant or bush garden from where one has an incredible close view of the Mara River and the wild animals coming to drink. One can also enjoy a romantic bush dinner set beneath the starlit African night. Bush breakfast with spectacular view over the Mara plains as the perfect surprise after an exciting morning game drive. Picnic breakfast or picnic lunch baskets are arranged for those going for a full day game drive. Karen Blixen was passionate about cooking and our chefs have found many of her original recipes. Dining at the Camp captures the taste of these daysgone-by with classical cooking from the French, English, Italian and Danish kitchens. The modern day love for cosmopolitan food with clear notes from the Far East, India or Kenya’s own traditional cooking is also catered for, alongside the African continent’s finest wines.
