Ol Seki Hemingways Mara

Ol Seki Hemmingways Mara is a private tented camp located in the unfenced 200km square of Naboisho Conservancy (in Eastern Koyaki) bordering the Masai Mara National reserve in Kenya. The camp is named after the Ol Seki tree (known in English as the sandpaper tree) which in Ma, the local Masai language, means “blessed”. It’s a peace tree and the branches are used to settle disputes.

Guests staying at the Ol Seki Hemingways Mara can enjoy completely exclusive drives in private open top Land Cruisers. A stones throw from the Mara Reserve, guests have the chance to experience the famous crossing of the Mara River during the migratory months.
