Ol Seki Hemingways











Overview
Opulence in Kenya’s most untamed landscape
Situated in the center of the Naboisho Conservancy, adjacent to the world-famous Masai Mara Reserve, Ol Seki Hemingways Mara exudes privacy and exclusivity. With views across the valley, this stunning private tented camp is an exclusive haven hidden among Cordia and Acacia trees. Restricting access to guests who are actually staying there, the conservancy provides a very intimate safari experience. Breathtaking views of the Mara plains and the warmest Kenyan hospitality awaits.
At Ol Seki Hemingways Mara, there is no such thing as a typical day. Being a small camp, they strive to individually design each day to fit your preferences, making your time in the Mara an unmatched safari experience. An early morning drive could result in a charming outdoor breakfast in the bush with views of plains game in the distance. In the evenings, before indulging in a magnificent four-course meal prepared by Ol Seki’s team of chefs, guests can gather for sundowners beside the outdoor firepit to swap tales from the day.
The property encompasses ten elegantly designed luxury safari tents that boast 270º panoramic vistas of the Mara plains. Each expansive tent has a separate deck so that guests can view birds and wildlife in their natural habitat, or simply take in the breathtaking sunsets from the comfort of their abode. The Nina Tents are ideal for couples, with floor-to-ceiling folding glass frontages and higher ceilings for the greatest possible Mara vistas. The Simba Suite is an independent penthouse in the wilderness with a private driveway. This opulent accommodation’s main selling point is its exclusivity, which includes a private game drive vehicle, guide and a personal chef for all meals.

"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless.
