Elephant Pepper Camp provides an authentic Masai Mara wildlife safari experience. Nestling in the shade of a natural forest overlooking the Mara plains the camp offers a truly unique and comfortable environment and is aptly named after the Warburgia Ugandensis tree, which is commonly known as the Elephant Pepper tree. Surrounded by the Mara’s ubiquitous game, this is a seasonal camp, which is taken down for a month or so in the rainy seasons. The homely atmosphere of this camp is part of its charm – no generators, no vehicles passing, no permanent structures jarring the skyline, just the sights and sounds of the bush which completely surround you.
Location:
Situated right on the Northern Edge of the Masai Mara reserve.
Accommodation and facilities:
Guests are accommodated in eight large, light canvas tents with en suite dressing rooms, safari showers (filled with hot water on request) and flush toilets. The main dining/bar mess tent offers family style dining with a help-yourself bar. Appetising meals are prepared by chefs trained by the owner’s family using traditional North Italian recipes mixed with international and local favourites. A barbecue by the campfire, dinner in the mess tent, or a bush breakfast on the open plains are some of the lasting memories to take home.
Activities:
Wildlife viewing by 4 x 4, night game drives, guided game walks, balloon safaris, bush meals and excellent birding and photographic opportunities.
Special attractions:
The Masai Mara defies description – undoubtedly the spectacular migration of wildebeest and zebra searching for lush grazing following the rains, stalked by the omnipresent predators, is one of the world’s greatest wildlife marvels. But the migration is by no means the only feature – this fascinating eco-system is home to enormous herds of plains game, the ’big cats’ and elephant in addition to colourful birds, small game, riverine wildlife and stunning scenery.;
