Mara Elatia Camp | 3 Days 2 Nights
Maasai Mara
1 / 8




A comfortable tented camp on the Talek River, reliable game viewing at an accessible price.
Mara Elatia Camp is positioned on the banks of the Talek River inside the Maasai Mara National Reserve, offering guests a classic safari experience at one of the reserve's most affordable lodge price points. The camp is well-suited to first-time safari goers and returning visitors alike, tented accommodation with en-suite facilities, full board meals, and a twice-daily game drive program guided by experienced local naturalists. The Talek River frontage provides consistent hippo and crocodile activity right from camp, while the surrounding plains deliver reliable sightings of lion, elephant, zebra, and wildebeest throughout the year. During the Great Migration season, the camp's location makes it easy to position vehicles at the river crossing points without a long drive from camp. The focus here is on the game viewing, the guides, and the evening fire, a straightforward safari done well.
