Kenya - Mara Plains Camp

In preparation for this year's annual migration, Mara Plains has been refurbished & the camp looks fantastic. The access area for guests to enter camp has also been moved with guests coming into camp via a new suspension bridge over the Ntiaketek River. The Mara Plains main areas, guest tents & bathrooms have all been spruced up during their total make over.

The Mara rains have been good so far this year & the latest school of thought is that the annual wildebeest migration will be phenomenal but perhaps a little delayed as the animals appear to be late in leaving Tanzania this season. There is a lot of grass in the Olare Orok Conservancy this year which promises to attract many of the migration herds to the Mara Plains environs which will inevitably lead to some pretty spectacular predator/prey activity. One particular game highlight this month, while the camp was closed for refurbishments, is that mother cheetah with 3 small cubs has taken up residence just a few kilometres from the camp.
