Location: Maasai Mara in Kenya
Nyika means Great Plains and as such Mara Nyika is the perfect sister camp to Mara Plains in Kenya. With its vast open plains of East Africa that resonate with the romanticism of the time when the light of the tarpaulins fluttered in the light breeze of those plains and when the wildebeest and zebras called to each other and at dusk, "simba", the great lion roared across the Nyika.
Typical of the ancient Nyika of the Maasai Mara are the flat-topped Acacia kirkii trees. The guest tents designed by Dereck Joubert take advantage of the shade of this thorny tree. While the camp is located in a valley, at the foot of a small stream, the tents
The light-colored canvas tents are set high up under the shade of the trees and offer guests breathtaking views of the savannah. Many may think of Mara Nyika as a treetop camp, with walkways from the tent to the main area giving the feeling of a treehouse under canvas, but the essence and inspiration of the camp remains that of exploration and adventure, a sense of transience in
this ever-changing world.
Privacy at this camp is the key to understanding it. Privacy to live, think, explore, feel romantic and cozy ? all against one of the most spectacular backdrops Africa has to offer. Mara Nyika is unique in that it allows guests to explore the 50,000 private and exclusive acres of the Naboisho Conservancy where it is located and even further afield on safari in the Maasai Mara Reserve.
