Alama Camp Mara

A small, understated tented camp built around the idea that Mara luxury doesn't need to shout — canvas walls, personal service, and a location close enough to the reserve to catch the first game drives of the day.

Alama Camp Mara keeps things deliberately simple: a small cluster of canvas tents tucked into acacia woodland, close enough to the reserve boundary that the morning drive starts almost the moment you leave camp. There’s no attempt at grandeur here — just well-built tents, attentive staff, and a location that puts wildlife within easy reach at both ends of the day.

Evenings tend to end the same way for most guests: drinks around the fire pit as the bush noise picks up after dark, before retreating to a tent that manages to feel both rustic and properly comfortable, with a proper bed, hot water, and a desk for writing up the day’s sightings. It’s a good pick for travellers who want an authentic tented-camp feel without sacrificing the basics of a good night’s sleep.
