Tangulia Mara Camp
Where the Wild Heart of the Mara Beats
As dawn breaks, mist rises over the Mara River, elephants gather on the salt lick below, and the air fills with the calls of waking birds. Here, on a leafy hillside at Tangulia Mara Camp, safari is not just an adventure — it’s an immersion into Africa’s most iconic wilderness, guided by those who call it home.
Owned and hosted by Maasai, Tangulia Mara is more than a lodge — it is a bridge between cultures, a front-row seat to wildlife spectacles, and a place where comfort meets authenticity on private land bordering the Masai Mara.
Accommodation
Tangulia Mara offers rustic yet cozy tented suites, blending tradition with comfort:
- Spacious tents with ensuite bathrooms and hot showers
- Comfortable beds with fine linen
- Private verandas with sweeping views of the Mara River and salt lick
- Subtle Maasai-inspired décor celebrating local culture
Evenings gather around the campfire under star-lit skies, followed by hearty dinners served with warmth and hospitality.
✨ You can also pair your Mara stay with luxury at Sarara Camp in Samburu or Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia for a diverse safari circuit.
