ELEPHANT PEPPER CAMP - MASAI MARA

Elephant Pepper Camp is a step back in time. It was formerly called Mara Camp. It is a true bush camp with all the comforts and none of the stress of the modern world. Here you steep under canvas, out in the open with the night sounds of the game and the fresh scent of the earth, grass and bush around you.

Accommodation  at Elephant Pepper Camp

This is an original, eco-friendly safari camp, committed to finding a way of life that does not harm the wilderness. Camp goes up for the season then it is packed away to allow the grass and bush to revitalize, leaving no trace of ones presence.

Arriving at the camp is like coming home. Here you relax with no vehicles, electricity or noisy generators, no permanent structures, just the open plains stretching before you.

This is where you sit around the campfire after a day outdoors in true safari style: swapping stories, discussing the stars or listening to the sound of hyena hunting nearby.

And so to bed, your tent is roomy and welcoming with comfortable twin or double beds, an adjoining dressing area, a safari 'bucket' shower, filled with hot water on request.

Families are welcome and early meals and a baby-listening service can be arranged. The food is traditional Northern Italian recipes: fresh bread, pasta, combined with traditional and local favorites.

Your host and driver guides are kind and experienced, welcoming you to a different rhythm and way of life. The ritual becomes addictive: early morning game drives to watch the waking plains, then back to camp for lunch followed by a siesta in camp or time to write your diary before tea and a late afternoon guided walk or drive, watching the game as the sun sets. The Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the world's greatest wildlife experience. The great migration of wildebeest and zebra stalked by their hungry predators is a fascinating and primitive spectacle. Other times of the year also bring wonderful sights: the young calves and cubs born after the rainy season.
