About Basecamp Wilderness

Basecamp Wilderness is a nostalgic tribute to the safaris of the early explorers and safari pioneers. Free from artificial luxury and modern disturbances and providing the perfect escape close to nature with optimal tranquillity and stunning sunrise views, Basecamp Wilderness is how safaris and safari camps were meant to be. Tucked away deep inside the “Saddle Valley” in the heart of Mara Naibosho Conservancy, one of the most beautiful and important wildlife areas in Kenya and the centre of a successful conservation experiment led by Maasai landowners and investors, the 5 tents allow for complete privacy and ultimate views of the savannah. The dining tent offers a romantic sitting area with comfortable leather chairs, carefully selected reading materials and a vintage gramophone It is just you, the Maasai, the wildlife and the stars.

Property details

The rooms

The five guest tents at Basecamp Wilderness are strategically sited around the rim of the valley to offer both seclusion and sweeping Naboisho Conservancy views. Newly refurbished for superb, authentic safari comfort, each tent offers either a king-size or twin beds, while the separate bathroom tent features eco-friendly bio-flush toilets and the opportunity to experience one of the all-time classic Masai Mara safari experiences, a bucket shower with the water heated on request. Further opportunities to gaze out over the plains are provided by the seating area on the perfect terrace – there is nowhere finer to recline with a book and a pair of binoculars to hand.
