Ol Pejeta Conservancy Tented Safari Camp

Julia’s River Camp

Wake up on nature’s doorstep within the world famous Masai Mara Nature Reserve.

Hidden on a sleepy bend of the Talek River, in the midst of the Masai Mara’s endless savannah, our exclusive Tented Camp is the perfect place to start your safari.

Our spectacular location on the river guarantees an abundance of wildlife viewing without even leaving the camp: lions, buffalos, wildebeest, elephants and even leopard regularly come to drink! All our tents are pitched along the banks of the Talek, only a few feet from the river and sit on their own elevated wooden platform, offering privileged views.

With a total of 28 tents, we have 3 separate camps to choose from: Hippo Camp, Buffalo Camp and VIP Camp; each with its own unique characteristics and charm.

Choose your tent category and your accommodation plan; full board or game package (which includes 2 daily game drives in our specially adapted 4×4 land cruisers) and enjoy the best safari experience in Kenya!
