Tented Suites

Each tent at Fairmont Mara Safari Club has a private veranda overlooking the river, where hippos and crocodiles are visible daily. Some tents include a private outdoor shower, while others have veranda furniture for al-fresco dining. All accommodations feature four-poster beds, a minibar, and a fan, with no air conditioning needed due to constant shade and breeze.

Dining Experiences

The rustic restaurant with a wooden roof serves buffet breakfast and lunch, while dinner presents typical African cuisine accompanied by live music. Meals can be taken outdoors upon request, and the hotel grows its own vegetables and herbs in an on-site garden. Special dining options include bush breakfasts, themed dinners, and bush dinners, all arranged by the culinary team.

Safari & Activities

Twice-daily game drives are included and take place in the Mara North Conservancy, allowing off-road driving for closer wildlife encounters. Guests can book balloon safaris that end with a champagne breakfast on the savannah, or visit a Maasai village for cultural tours. Additional activities include walking tours, bike tours, night game drives, and evening Maasai entertainment.

Location & Conservancy

Fairmont Mara Safari Club sits at the foot of the Aitong Hills, a 10-minute drive from Ngerende Airstrip, with flights from Nairobi Wilson Airport. The camp is located in the Mara North Conservancy, a private area that sees fewer vehicles than the main national park. A conservancy fee of USD 130 per person per night grants access to the Rhino Sanctuary and permits off-road game drives.
