Zebra Plains Mara Camp is a small, boutique luxury tented camp. It sits below the Oldonyo Loip Ridge, facing the open plains of the Maasai Mara. The camp lies just outside the Olare Orok Conservancy. It is roughly 10 kilometers from Talek Gate and 12.6 kilometers from Ol Kiombo Airstrip. As a result, guests enjoy quick access to the Mara’s richest wildlife areas. Yet the camp still offers a peaceful, low-key setting each evening. At Glitzy Safaris, we recommend this camp for travelers who want an intimate, authentic Mara experience without the crowds of larger lodges.
Accommodation
The camp offers luxury tented rooms alongside spacious Family Villas. Each is tastefully furnished with double beds and mosquito nets. Every tent includes an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet, washbasin, and hot shower. Consequently, guests enjoy a genuine safari atmosphere without sacrificing everyday comfort. Each tent also opens onto sweeping views of the plains below. This makes it easy to spot passing wildlife right from the veranda.
Wildlife and Activities
The Oldonyo Loip Ridge is a key wildlife corridor. It is home to some of the Mara’s resident big cats. Therefore, guests staying at Zebra Plains Mara Camp have excellent chances of spotting lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Cheetah, giraffe, hippo, and zebra also roam nearby. In addition, smaller species such as aardvark, aardwolf, bat-eared fox, and honey badger call this landscape home. Between July and October, the camp offers front-row access to the Great Wildebeest Migration.
Beyond standard game drives, the camp offers a wide range of activities. Guests can join night game drives, guided nature walks, and horseback safaris. Hot-air balloon rides are also available on request. Bush meals and sundowners add a memorable touch to each day. Meanwhile, cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages offer real insight into local traditions. For a change of scenery, day trips to the Mara River reveal resident crocodiles up close.
