Thank you to all the campers who have been staying with us. Our campsites are getting increasingly busy during the high seasons, and to avoid disappointment it is a good idea to book in advance.

Before you visit, there are a few things to mention about camping in the Mara Triangle:

1. Security

The Mara Conservancy is responsible for security of the whole of the Mara Triangle, however not individual campsites. There are two vehicles, each night, that patrol the Mara Triangle in the vicinity of the campsites. If those staying at the campsites decide that they need extra security then they can either bring their own askaris, or hire Conservancy Rangers.

The current rate is 1,000 KSh per ranger per night, and you must hire two rangers - no more or less.

2. Water

In the past there has been a casual agreement to allow campers to collect water from Iseiya Headquarters, however with more larger tour operators now using the Mara Triangle the consumption of water has increased dramatically.

The water is actually pumped and treated by Serena Hotel, and the vast quantities being taken was putting an enormous strain on the Hotel - they encountered shortages and had to incur extra costs to extract more water from the Mara River.

We are sorry that we currently do not have the facilities ourselves to provide campers with water, and therefore ask visitors now bring their own water when visiting the Mara Triangle.

3. Rubbish

The Manager of Serena Hotel has also asked that campers stop dumping rubbish outside their facilities. The rubbish is often left in plastic bags that are torn open by hyaenas and baboons.

It is not for Serena Hotel to sort, recycle and transport the rubbish of campers and we ask that campers instead carry the rubbish with them when leaving the Mara Triangle.

4. Firewood

It is not permitted to collect firewood from inside the Mara Triangle - please bring your own or purchase firewood (sustainably grown) from Oloololo or Purungat Gate.

5. Olkeju Rongai Campsite

This campsite is now closed due to the ongoing development of the Somak lodge on the opposite river bank - despite court injunctions and stop orders from the Narok County Council.

If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
