The folks from Asilia: http://www.asiliaafrica.com/ expanded their portfolio into Kenya. We were invited to see their new properties, one of which, has actually been around for quite some time. Rekero Camp: http://www.asiliaafrica.com/rekero/ is actually the brainchild of Gerard Beaton & Jackson Ole Looseiya, who started the camp more than 10 years ago. The camp enjoys an extremely privileged location with a river bank out front that during the migration, will get frequent visits by herds of wildebeest and zebra. The reputation of the camp has been its guiding, professional Maasai guides that have worked together for many years. Combined with under canvas, excellent food, and friendly guides -- Rekero provides a truly authentic Masai Mara experience.

From Rekero, we headed to Nabiosho Camp: http://www.asiliaafrica.com/Naboisho/ situated in the Naboisho Conservancy (a 50,000 acre area) that lies to the far east of the Mara/Serengeti Eco system. This new exclusive eight tented camp in the unrivalled wilderness hosts a huge variety of wildlife - cats, elephants, giraffes, plains games including the rare sighted wild dogs. Naboisho Camp offers a wide range of activities, such as: Game Drives, Walking Safaris, Night Drives, Off-Roading, Cultural Tourism and Fly Camping. The game viewing was quite impressive in Naboisho, during our stay six cheetahs hunting together and pride of lions on the hunt. Now that the conservancy is more established, the game viewing must have gotten tremendously better, and from sources, we hear good sightings of wild dogs! The Mara Naboisho Conservancy is in the greater Mara region bordering the National Reserve. The conservancy provides the opportunity to conserve land (that was severely strained from herding and tourism activities), wildlife, and nature; whilst simultaneously creating wealth for local Maasai landowners. Wildlife is protected and landowners benefit financially, setting a good example for tourism and community in partnership.

These camps are a good way to combine a complete Masai Mara experience!
