Hammerkop Migration Camp

The three-star Hammerkop Migration Camp is located in the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. An ideal spot to observe the famous Great Migration, the river crossing that sees thousands of wildebeest making their way between Kenya and Tanzania. Hammerkop is aptly named due to this prime location and with no fencing, often sees animals walking through the camp, a herd of elephants surprising guests now and then.

The dining area is neat in design, a netted-arched walled tent comprising beautiful wooden tables and chairs and a cozy lounge boasting large, comfortable white sofas and a small bar area. With only seven luxury tents available to guests, an intimate ambiance is felt throughout the camp, and guests are able to enjoy quiet surroundings at any time of the day.

Location

Hammerkop Migration Camp is located in the northern part of the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, a 15-minute drive from the Musiara Airstrip. A flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport will take approximately 45 minutes while driving will be a journey of around five hours.

Rooms / Tents

There are only seven luxury canvas tents to be found at the Hammerkop Migration Camp, each tent comprising a private veranda where guests can sit and relax in between game drives and walks.

There is an in-room safe and a small desk. Beds are made of strong, dark wood, bedding adding a splash of color to the tent.
