About This Lodge

Osero Mara Camp, named after the Maasai word for “bushland,” is a quiet retreat located near the border of the Siana Conservancy and the Masai Mara National Reserve. The property focuses on offering a luxurious level of comfort while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding wilderness.

The atmosphere is one of relaxed privacy, set among the Ngama Hills. It is designed for guests who want high-quality accommodation and dining without sacrificing the authenticity of being under canvas. The camp is renowned for its spacious accommodations and dedication to a high standard of service.

Location & Setting

The camp is set in bushland among the Ngama Hills, a few kilometers inside the Sekenani Gate to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. This strategic position allows for quick entry into the main reserve for game drives.

At an elevation of 1,830m (6,000ft), the setting is defined by its hills, ridges, and a landscape rich in wildlife. Guests can arrive via a scenic 4-6 hour drive from Nairobi or a 25-minute transfer from the Keekorok Airstrip.

Accommodation

Osero offers spacious, well-appointed tented rooms. While constructed with canvas walls, they feature polished wooden floors and full, tiled en-suite bathrooms.

Each of the well-spaced tents is furnished with either a king-sized or twin four-poster bed and includes a private terrace. The bathrooms are modern, featuring double vanity sinks and large showers or baths, providing a functional contrast to the tented exterior.

Facilities & Experiences

The main guest area is centered around the ‘Ol-Kaji’ (Big House), which includes the restaurant, bar, and the ‘Enchula’ lounge. The restaurant serves fine cuisine from a table d’hôte menu.

Outside, a swimming pool offers a place for guests to cool off, surrounded by open lawn and bushland. In the evenings, guests gather around a log fire for sundowners and conversations. The camp can arrange in-room massage services for guests.
