Drunken Elephant Mara
An owner-run tented camp on the Mara's conservancy side — seven tents, and the run of the bush.
Drunken Elephant sits in the Siana Conservancy, a little over a kilometre from the Sekenani Gate — conservancy side rather than inside the National Reserve, which is exactly why it can offer night game drives and guided walks that the Reserve does not permit. With just seven tents it suits clients who want the Mara without the crowds, and it is unusually good for families: two of the tents are family units, children of all ages are welcome, and the walking safaris are pitched at them.
- Seven tents only — five en-suite doubles and two family units sleeping four, each elevated, canvas-built and with its own private deck
- Night game drives and Maasai-guided walking safaris, both possible because the camp sits in a conservancy rather than inside the Reserve
- Horse-riding safaris across the savanna for every level from beginner to experienced — a genuine rarity among Mara camps
- Hot-air balloon flights at dawn, landing to a bush breakfast under a balanite tree (booked as an extra)
- Twenty-four-hour power from solar-charged batteries, hot water heated over a log fire, and a swimming pool in camp
- Twenty per cent of direct bookings goes to ACCES, the education charity the camp partners with in western Kenya
