Fairmont Mara Safari Camp

Nestled below the Aitong Hills in the Olchoro Oirowua Conservancy you will find the classic and premium safari accommodation of the Fairmont Mara Safari Club. There are 38 Masaai-inspired safari suites, beautifully decorated and privately positioned on the grounds. There is a refreshing swimming pool set within stone paving and secluded among trees and a tranquil spa set within the bush.

Meals are served in the Kifaru Restaurant, an international menu offered and created with ingredients picked from the garden. Bush dinners are popular at Fairmont Mara Safari Club with a lounge and bar offering wonderful Mara River views and entertainment by way of Masaai cultural shows which occasionally take place. The setting of the camp makes it a wonderful venue for wedding ceremonies.

Location

The Fairmont Mara Safari Camp is located in the northwest corner of the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve in the Aitong region of Ol Choro Conservancy. The most convenient way of getting to the camp from Nairobi is with a 45-minute flight from Wilson Airport, with a 10-minute transfer through the wilderness between the airstrip and the camp. If guests wish to drive from Nairobi, the drive would take approximately five hours.

Rooms / Tents

The beautifully-appointed 38 luxury canvas tents are privately situated at Fairmont Mara Safari Camp, all decorated with a blend of Colonial and local Masai flare. Some tents have large chests complemented by beaded drapes separating the bathroom from the bedroom, others have a vibrant, signature orange wall that stands out against the beige and white of the bedding. The tents can be configured into Queen Beds or Twin Beds with one of the tents handicap accessible.

There is an in-room safe, WiFi, a minibar and a fridge in each tent, with a table and chairs set out on the large, wooden deck. The bathrooms are all en-suite and offer either a bathtub or a wonderful rain shower, with the camp’s Signature Tents offering a private outdoor shower.
