MAGICAL MAASAI MARA AND WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE
The Maasai Mara is world renowned for its wildlife. Being adjacent to this natural wonder is an extraordinary privilege and access to wildlife at this scale is an increasingly rare opportunity. The Mara Reserve is surrounded by a network of Maasai-owned landscapes known as conservancies. The land is managed for the Maasai and wildlife which co-habit the same space. Naretoi borders one of the most northerly Mara conservancies called Enonkishu, which together with Embokishi, Lemek and Ol Chorro, form what is known as the Northern Mara Conservancies. Spanning over 40,000 acres of mixed-use land spaces where people, livestock and wildlife co-exist, a safari from Naretoi offers one of the most specialized and novel ways to engage with wildlife and communities anywhere in the world.
KISERIAN COTTAGE & BUSH CAMP ACCOMMODATION
You will be staying at Kiserian Cottage & Bush Camp, located in the Enonkishu conservancy in the Maasai Mara. The cottage and camp are located around a large watering pool teeming with wildlife, perfect for spotting hippos, zebras, giraffes, and birds. Accommodation consists of large and comfortable canvas safari tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms and lounge areas; ideal for one person or a couple or two friends sharing. You will enjoy nourishing organic farm-to-table vegetarian meals and have access to the wilderness garden, the yoga deck, and multiple shady areas to relax and unwind close to nature.
THE COTTAGE
A two bedroomed tented cottage, separated by a sitting area with an open plan kitchen. Two bedrooms and the main dining room face out over your own private veranda and dam about 50 meters from the cottage. The cottage is solar powered so the only noises in the evening are from the hippos and other wildlife wandering nearby. There is a fireplace in the living room and a fire pit outside.
BUSH CAMP
The Bush Camp is a tented camp consisting of three large en-suite tents, each with their own large veranda overlooking the dam or across to Kilileone Hill, the highest point in the Mara Reserve. There is a watering pool of about 30 hippo that live in the dam immediately in front of your veranda, and a hippo proof fence has been built to help provide ease of movement after dark when hippo come out to graze. There is also a large communal area where you can relax during the day and enjoy sundowners in the evening.
