Nestled against a wooded thicket and surrounded by savannah, Mara West provides nature lovers with luxury accommodations while experiencing the sights and sounds of an unforgettable African safari. Luxury tents are perched in secluded spots on an escarpment edge overlooking the vast plains of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, giving tremendous views and a sense of private exclusion.
Mara West is an American owned and managed private safari camp providing high quality service with beautifully designed, comfortable accommodations. Associated with the non government organization (NGO) Africa Mission Services (AMS), Mara West Camp provides financial support that enables AMS to carry out its ongoing development program in the local Maasai community.

Mara West Camp has six secluded, luxury tented cottages, fully furnished with two queen beds each.

A wide front verandah overlooks Maasai Mara’s vast plains below, providing spectacular views of the sunrise and glimpses of giraffe, elephant, gazelles, impalas and wildebeest as they roam the plains. Electricity is a combination of solar, generator and battery packs, so that power is always available for lights, and during generator times power is available in the tents for charging equipment and other electrical appliances.
