RICHARD'S CAMP

MASAI MARA

Originally built as the Robert's home while carrying out conservation work in the Mara, Richard's Camp is a classic tented camp which provides today’s explorer with many modern conveniences, yet retains the pioneer traditions of comfort and hospitality. Tucked away in the edge of a beautiful forest, elephant and plains game are regular visitors to the camp’s perimeter and bird life abounds.

Accommodation is in up to six individually decorated, luxurious and spacious en suite tents, each with large veranda and 24-hour solar powered light. At the end of a rewarding day guests can indulge, surrounded by flickering candles and the sounds of the bush, in an open air Victorian bath situated in the forest where the canopy of trees opens to reveal the breath-taking African night sky.

Richard’s camp is owned and hosted by Richard Roberts and his partner Liz Fusco. Richard was raised in the Masai Mara and it is his intimate knowledge of the bush and the Masai people, together with the traditional Kenyan warm hospitality, which ensures guests a very special experience. Your day is designed to be as relaxing or as exciting as you wish.

Richard and his family have been instrumental in preserving the valuable eco-system in this area. In 1992 Richard’s father, Willy, helped form the Community Conservation Area on which the camp is located. Conservation is also a major concern for Richard and Liz and a portion of every guest’s overnight stay cost goes to the conservation association entrusted with the management and safe guarding of the area.
