Overview

Karen Blixen Camp is an eco-friendly luxury camp that gives a sense of the exciting explorer days when the savannah was seldom visited and elaborate and comfortable camps were set up providing a luxurious and stylish retreat after each day’s adventure.

The camp comprises large luxury canvas tents, each placed with privacy and undisturbed view along the Mara River.

The stylish restaurant, the reception, the lounge and bar and the gift shop with internet are set on a raised wooden deck and furnished with accurate reproductions of Karen Blixen’s private furniture to fit in with the cozy atmosphere. It is the perfect place to sit back and relax with a gin and tonic overlooking the Mara River and the wildlife coming to drink, whilst exchanging stories about the adventures of the day.

Directions
Coming from Nairobi:
  • After the escarpment turn left in Mai Mahiu and follow the B3 for 115.5km.
  • Turn left onto the c13, follow c13 for about 83.5km. Just outside Narok follow the main road and do not turn left to the Sekanani region of Masai Mara, the road heads towards Ololunga and Mulot.
  • Past the Ololunga turn off but before Mulot (at the 32 Km. point from Narok) there is a turning on the left, with Fairmont Mara Safari Club & Livingstone signs. Take this turn-off and wave goodbye to the tarmac.
  • Stay on this long and fairly bumpy road which winds through the wheat fields and eventually hills. There is only one turning on the left in a small settlement called Ngorongore, there are again signs for Karen Blixen Camp, Fairmont Safari Club and Livingstone.
  • Follow the road passing through the small town of Lemek and as you emerge from the hills you will see a large radio mast on top of Aitong hill. Stay on the road and do not take the turning on the right to Fairmont Safari Club.
  • Look out for the Karen Blixen Camp sign post. Continue past the small hill on the left with a number of Euphorbia trees on it and past the David Livingstone junction. You will see a small sign on your left that reads: "maasai mara - topi trackers campsite".
  • Drive straight on the main road, just before Mara Rianda Trading centre you will see a sign post on your right showing you the final 5 kms stretch to Karen Blixen Camp. This is a well defined graded road.
If you have problems, please call the Camp on 0713-028578 or 0788 715 451 and they will gladly guide you. The signal is of poor quality at the Camp, so keep trying and you will get through. Cautious driving is advisable and you should reach Karen Blixen Camp within about 4 ½ - 5½ hours after leaving Nairobi.
