Fig Tree Camp

Fig Tree Camp is in the Masai Mara, Africa’s most famous game reserve. The Masai Mara is home of the Big 5 and the magical spectacle of the wildebeest migration. Fig Tree Camp is located on the banks of the Talek River and offers both luxury tents and chalet accommodation.

The camp is situated on the northern border of the game reserve and its central location makes all areas of the park accessible during game drives. The rooms spaciously line up along the Talek River, overlooking the plains of the game reserve. There is a total of 70 rooms comprising 38 Safari Tents, 22 Garden Chalets and 10 Superior Ngamboli Tents on the banks of the Talek River.

The camp has several facilities and services to ensure you have a comfortable stay. These include two bars, a main dining room, an open-air dining area and a tree house coffee deck. Also available is a video room, guest lecture facilities, a swimming pool and a curio shop. A fleet of four-wheel drive vehicles with expert drivers is available at the camp. The camp has a resident nurse and medical clinic. Power is supplied by a generator.

Activities include game drives, guest lecturers, and our local naturalist is available to give free lectures and slide presentations on the Maasai Mara. Local Maasai dancers also entertain clients in the evening. Maasai Morans are available to take clients on game walks allowing them to walk freely, enjoying the openness and beauty of the park.

Only at Fig Tree Camp can one enjoy the special experience of moonlight champagne bush dinners. This excursion involves a night game drive and a barbecue dinner on the Mara plains. Based at the Fig Tree Camp is Adventures Aloft with daily balloon departures. There is little to beat the bird’s eye view of the Maasai Mara.
