Mara · Amboseli · Tsavo

Canvas walls,
real beds.

Per nightRate basis
EnsuiteEvery tent
2×Fire pit & bush dinners

The bush, without giving anything up.

These are canvas structures in name only — proper beds, ensuite bathrooms, sometimes a plunge pool, always a deck facing whatever the camp faces. What canvas actually buys you is proximity: no perimeter wall thick enough to keep the sound of the bush out, which is the entire point of staying here instead of a lodge.

We work with a small set of camps across the Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo, chosen for position over polish — a camp on a river bend or facing Kilimanjaro beats a bigger one set back from either.
