Rekero Camp is a seasonal camp set up between the months of June and March in the Masai Mara. During this time it serves as a base for some certifiably first-class game viewing, with the annual zebra and wildebeest migration passing through the area and iconic species like the hippo, cheetah and giraffe – not to mention the Big Five – seen on the surrounding savannah. It was at Rekero that Jackson Looseyia, famed Maasai guide and star of the BBC series Big Cat Diary, first cut his teeth; today the camp continues its tradition of guiding excellence while providing impeccable service and an array of safari activities for all ages.

Located in the heart of the Masai Mara, Rekero is ideally placed for those wishing to experience the stunning diversity of this wildlife haven.

Experience this intimate and comfortable riverside safari camp, enfolded by the surrounding African wilderness. Hippos grunt in the pools below, the smell of wild sage drifts through the air and herds of wildebeest can often be seen crossing the Talek River from the main deck. This blissful location means that fantastic game-viewing can continue even when relaxing in camp, but the true safari experience can only be enjoyed on that most quintessential of safari activities: the game drive.

Rekero’s friendly and highly skilled camp crew have worked together for many years; together with their internationally recognised guiding team, they do their utmost to maximise your chances of intimate wildlife encounters on the African savannah. As a result, the camp is a favourite among Disney and BBC film crews who operate in the Mara.

In Kenya, the very best time for rewarding game-viewing is in the cooler early mornings and late afternoons, when the animals are at their most active. The general pace of life in Rekero Camp is focused on giving you the very best possible game-viewing experience. The safari vehicles you’ll become acquainted with during your game drives are special adapted Toyota Land Cruisers, either fully open-sided or equipped with roof hatches that allow guests to stand and get a better view of the wildlife.
