Karen Blixen Camp
Masai Mara,Kenya
Karen Blixen Camp,Masai Mara  offers an authentic ’yesteryear’ experience for visitors wishing to gain that little extra from their safari. 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 gives a feeling of the early 1920’s era with comfortable and beautiful 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 luxurious of today.
The Karen Blixen camp,Masai Mara compromise 22 luxurious en-suite tents; each set on a beautiful mahogany platform with a spacious veranda completed with cushion daybed from which one can enjoy an afternoon siesta taking in the wonderful surroundings. Each tent at Karen Blixen camp has private bathroom with WC, twin washbasins and an outside shower with view of the sky. The water is heated by gas burners to avoid any use of firewood.

Karen Blixen was passionate about cooking and found her inspiration in the French, English, Italian and Danish kitchens. Through historical books we have found many of her original recipes and dining at the Camp captures the taste of the long gone colonial days. Modern day’s love for cosmopolitan food with clear notes from the Far East, India or Africa’s own traditional cooking is also served alongside the continents finest wines.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the restaurant or garden from where one has an incredible close by view to the Mara River and the game which comes to drink. If one wish to go on a full day game drive picnic lunch basket are provided.
