Shu'Mata Camp

In the Mess Tent you are treated to luxurious fabrics, a mix of local art and custom furnishings. The candelabra, china and silverware in the dining area ensure that you are surrounded by luxury at all times. You will not be disappointed with the service or the grand selection of wines! An atmosphere of infinite calm can be felt as the outdoor fire is lit, as the sun sets on beautiful valley below and the stars emerge to say goodnight.

Take your pick from one of five tents and enjoy incredible views from your private veranda. For optimal privacy each tent is situated quite a distance apart. Comfort is key and all the tents have en-suite bathrooms and quality linens. (The open-air shower is a must and a real treat!)The bedside table trays, Hemingway-style canvas cupboard and lockable trunk, for your personal belongings, are among the rooms many attributes bringing the old-school safari back to life at Shu’mata Camp.

Explore on foot with a local Maasai warrior or in an open-top vehicle and get within meters of Africa’s largest land mammal, the elephant. They say the early bird catches the worm so experience an early morning excursion to a Maasai boma, where you have a window into the daily life and traditions of the Maasai. For the more adventurous, you can explore the Shira Plateau on foot and see Mount Kilimanjaro up close, finished off with a picnic lunch.
