Welcome

Welcome, Karibu & Sopa Oleng

Dear Intrepid Traveller,

Your decision to choose our small, private and personalised camp for your stay in the world-famous Maasai Mara is certainly the right one. Get away from the stress of everyday life and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere our camp offers.

Our idea was to build a lovely little camp where our guests could have a close encounter with nature, yet not miss out on some luxuries. The sounds of the African bush, and the fascinating wildlife which surrounds the camp, will make your stay with us unforgettable.

We are proud to hold a Gold Eco-rating from Ecotourism Kenya, recognising camps that meet rigorous standards in waste, water and energy management.

Our team is happy to welcome you and will do its best to make this an unforgettable stay. Please feel free to contact any of our staff at any time — they will gladly provide any assistance you may need. We wish you a wonderful stay with us at Soroi Camps.

Your Stay

Activities & Safari

Beyond our game drives there is a lot to explore: bush walks, Maasai village visits, private sundowners in stunning places, bush breakfasts and dinners, massages, and the Photo Studio. Talk to the Camp Manager or check the Activities booklet for more. All bookings are made through reception or your manager. Prices below are 2026 service prices.

The Game Drive Experience

Explore the wild Maasai Mara from a raised position in our custom-built 4x4 safari vehicles. Our experienced guides lead you to the best of the area — elephants, lions, cheetahs and more. Each drive can be shared or exclusive, with the best sightings usually early morning or late afternoon, and lasts up to two hours.

USD 115 adult · USD 70 childAdd-on scheduled game drive, full-board guestsUSD 450 peak · USD 350 shoulder & green seasonExclusive vehicle, per day

Balloon Safari

See the landscape and wildlife from the air — a highlight of every East African safari. We book a Balloon Safari with a professional balloon company: pick-up from as early as 5am, a one-hour flight over the savannah with an experienced pilot, and a champagne breakfast on landing. Children under 8 years, or under 1.25m tall, are not permitted.

USD 550Per person

Guided Bush Walk

For adults only. Explore the bush on foot with our walking team and an armed ranger, outside the reserve. Discover the small five, learn to read tracks and droppings, and identify bones and skeletons against panoramic savannah views. Walks run morning or afternoon for 2–3 hours, or shorter on request.

USD 80Per person, min. 2

Private Sundowner

During your afternoon game drive you will find a table and camping chairs set up in the savannah — a private arrangement just for you. Choose from spirits, house wine, beer and soft drinks, with homemade canapés as the sun sets over the plains.

USD 60Per adult, min. 2 adultsUSD 30Per child

Out of Africa Sunset Experience

A customised safari cruiser transformed into a mobile bar for sunset in the wild — a fully stocked wooden bar, glass racks and ambient lighting, hosted by local guides. Perfect for scenic toasts and storytelling under the African sky.

USD 100Per person, min. 4 personsUSD 40Per child

Private Bush Breakfast

Be escorted to a picturesque spot with panoramic views of the Mara plains, where our chef and his team serve a delectable breakfast after an eventful game drive.

USD 110Per adult, min. 2 adultsUSD 40Per child

Private Bush Dinner

The most romantic idea (weather permitting): dinner for two under the stars, at a table away from the main dining tent among trees and bushes, lit by lanterns. Your personal waiter serves a four-course barbecue-style meal with a bottle of wine (red or white), and unlimited soft drinks are complimentary.

USD 90Per adult, min. 2 adultsUSD 45Per child

Maasai Village Visit

Visit a traditional Maasai village and discover a way of life as it was a hundred years ago and still is today. Your guide transfers you to and from the village. Most of the proceeds go directly to the local community. Ask the Manager for more information and booking.

USD 70Per adult, min. 2 adults (game-package bookings only)USD 35Per child

Ol Malaika Home

The Trust sits on the edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Sekenani. Ol Malaika Home is a safe haven for girls aged under 12, down to newborns, who have endured trauma, and it gives them an education. On weekends and holidays you can spend time with the girls — singing, dancing, making chapatis or a beaded bracelet. On weekdays you can meet the staff, play with the babies and hear the girls' stories. The Trust is working towards self-sufficiency through its own honey and the Days for Girls Enterprise, which makes reusable menstrual kits for schoolgirls.

USD 145Per person, min. 2 persons

Game drives leave at 6:30am (picnic breakfast on request) and 3:30pm – 6:30pm. Vehicles may be shared; book an exclusive vehicle in advance with Management at extra charge. On a game package or flying safari, we usually combine a picnic breakfast in the bush with an extended game drive. We follow wildlife and conservation etiquette on every drive.

Community & Wildlife

Through Community & Wildlife Conservation (CWC), our NGO supported by Soroi Collection, we partner with the local Maasai community to support education, sustainable livelihoods, cultural preservation and wildlife conservation. By creating employment, investing in community projects and protecting the natural environment, we aim for tourism to bring real benefits to both people and wildlife. Bed-night fees from our camp are paid directly to the community, alongside monthly county fees that contribute to local development.

Local Crafts

The community shelf in our shop displays items made by local communities across Kenya, alongside Maasai beadwork and soapstone carvings. Purchases are signed for with the Camp Manager or any staff member and paid at the end of your stay.

Responsible Tourism

Nurturing the Natural World

We are Gold Eco-rated by Ecotourism Kenya, after a rigorous audit focusing on responsible tourism practices. At Soroi Private Wing we separate waste at source to minimise our impact.

Waste

Biodegradable waste goes to a designated bio pit away from the river. Glass, paper, metal and plastic are sorted and sent to Nairobi for recycling every week.

Water

We draw water from our own borehole and heat it with eco-friendly heat pumps. Please use towels sparingly. Drinking water is filtered by Reverse Osmosis and served in glass.

Solar Power

The camp runs entirely on solar power. Fridges and cooking plates use the latest low-energy systems, and a natural charcoal cool room and solar-powered cold room keep produce fresh without electricity.

Less Plastic

Glass bottles only, refillable bathroom dispensers, and a complimentary eco steel bottle for game drives (game-package guests).

At the Camp

Guest Information A to Z

Medical Assistance

A resident nurse is on site, and a small bush hospital is in Talek, about 30 minutes away. For a serious emergency in daylight we can organise a flight to Nairobi — not possible at night due to landing restrictions. Rescue.co insurance covers this cost. Management: +254 716 888 516 / +254 795 352 204.

Security

Maasai watchmen guard the camp around the clock. During the daytime it is safe to move around camp independently. At night, our askari (watchman) will escort you to and from your tent.

Laundry

Hand-washed and returned within 24 hours, weather permitting. Use the hand-woven basket and laundry list in your tent.

Internet

Complimentary Wi-Fi in tents and public areas. The signal may fluctuate occasionally.

Game Drives

Custom-built 4x4 safari vehicles. Morning drive at 6:30am, afternoon 3:30pm – 6:30pm.

Location

On the Olare Orok River in the Mara Game Reserve, 5 to 8 minutes' drive from Olkiombo Airstrip.

Check-in & Check-out

You may occupy your tent from noon onwards, and we ask that you check out by 10:00am. For a late check-out, ask the Manager about availability. If available, we can offer a day room in our tour leader tent so you can freshen up and relax before departure.

Drinking Water

Additional drinking water is in the mini fridge. A repurposed glass bottle on your bathroom sink table is your drinking water and can also be used for brushing teeth. Our water is filtered through Reverse Osmosis. Sealed bottles can be bought at the bar — we use glass bottles only, to reduce plastic.

Internet

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in all public areas and in our tents. The signal may occasionally fluctuate or drop briefly — we appreciate your patience.

Laundry

Laundry is available as per the laundry list. Weather permitting, items are hand-washed and returned within 24 hours. Place your laundry in the hand-woven basket by your sink and complete the list. We ask that you wash your own undergarments.

Lighting in the Tent

All tent lights run on our solar panels — please switch them off when you leave. Veranda lights can stay on; our Maasai security (askaris) can help.

Towels, Bathrobes & Slippers

To have towels washed, place them on the floor; to reuse them, hang them on the rack to save water. Bathrobes are provided and can be bought at the shop in various colours. Disposable slippers are provided. Shampoo, soap and lotion come in refillable dispensers rather than single-use minis.

Turn-down

We provide turn-down service and will gladly adjust your tent's outside flaps to your requested level. Hot water bottles are provided at night.

Umbrella & Torch

Each tent has an umbrella and a rechargeable torch for every guest. Please take your torch with you when heading to dinner.

Valuables

A safe is available for your valuables. The camp is not liable for missing items if the safe is not used.

Flush Toilets & Water Saving

Please use the dual-flush toilets consciously — small lever for liquid waste, large lever for solid waste. Dispose of sanitary towels in the brown paper bags provided and do not flush them.

Tips

Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for outstanding service. Tip any staff member personally, or use the Tip Box at the manager's office — shared equally across the whole team. Recommended: Kshs. 1,500 or USD 10 per guest per day for the entire staff. For your driver-guide, we suggest tipping on the last day: USD 15 per guest per day.
