Accommodation Details

Those campsites that are more basic tend to be more scenic; that is especially in the game parks where basic toilets and cold showers are the norm. After a night at such camps we do our best to follow with a hot shower bar campsite.

Although in the Masai Mara are two basic nights, but the wild beauty and the animals in the park more than makes up for this.
