Richard's Camp

(Masai Mara National Reserve - Kenya)

General Description
Richard's Camp is a small and exclusive seasonal tented camp situated in a conservation area North West of the Masai Mara National Reserve where riverine forest and short grass plains are prevalent.  The camp is owned and operated by Richard Roberts and was originally built as the Roberts’ family home by his father Willy, with the help of the local Masai people. Richard's extensive knowledge of wildlife, flora and fauna comes from his 25 years of growing up and living in the Masai Mara.

At the end of the day, guests can indulge in an open-air Victorian bath tucked away in the forest, surrounded by flickering candles and the sounds of the bush.

Accommodation
Each individually decorated tent has either twin or double beds with triple rooms available for families upon request. The solar system provides clean, silent power and ensures 24-hour light to all the tents. All of our 6 large and spacious custom designed tents feature an en suite flush loo and heated shower.

Dining & Food
As the weather almost always permits, meals are most often enjoyed outdoors under Kenyan skies. During those rare rainy or chilly evenings, dining moves indoors, adjacent to the beautiful, cosy sitting room with a roaring fire.
