Tambarare Camp, an A&K Sanctuary

Riserva Masai Mara

Overlooking the grassy plateau of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Tambarare Camp is an exclusive retreat immersed in unspoiled African landscape, where the Big Five roam freely, including the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth. We are in the heart of the Laikipia plateau in central Kenya: a vast region that is gently rolling yet rugged, capable of conveying a sense of primordial grandeur and timeless charm.

In recent decades, Laikipia has established itself as one of the most virtuous conservation models in East Africa, with extraordinary results, especially in the protection of rhinos. In this context, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy – home to Tambarare Camp – has played a decisive role, becoming a symbol of success and concrete commitment. As a privileged base from which to explore this wild nature, surrounded by discreet and never ostentatious luxury, Tambarare is unrivalled.

The camp has only 10 luxury safari tents, characterized by contemporary elegance, and a private villa, making it the most exclusive in the area. Located in the shadow of Mount Kenya, it reflects a deep respect for the environment thanks to its careful, low-impact design, which nevertheless surprises and fascinates. The colors and textures echo the surrounding nature: sun-bleached woods, wicker lampshades, vibrant fabrics, and intense portraits of Samburu women. The canvas ceilings and soft lighting contribute to a refined and welcoming atmosphere.

Strategically located opposite an important wildlife gathering point, the camp offers spectacular views of buffalo, zebras, and rhinos grazing on the plains. The main tent, furnished with comfortable sofas and inviting seating, is ideal for relaxation, while the adjacent Boma Bar is perfect for an aperitif at sunset, sharing stories under the immense African sky. Tambarare is, ultimately, an intimate and sophisticated retreat, where impeccable service and indulgent comfort blend in perfect harmony with the natural environment.

Rooms

Safari Tents

The canvas tents, each with its own identity, maintain the bush style, reinterpr ... eting it through a modern and elegant language. The teak flooring complements the furnishings that reflect the local culture, creating harmonious and refined environments. Each tent, bright and spacious (57 square meters), opens onto a private veranda overlooking the grassy expanses. The white canvases that move lightly in the wind add a poetic touch, while the works inspired by Masai culture, in intense shades of blue symbolizing sky and water, embellish the interiors.

Private villa

To complete the Tambarare Camp experience, a spacious private villa offers the u ... tmost in exclusivity and comfort. Comprising an elegant open space, two bedrooms with private bathrooms, and a private boma, the villa echoes the contemporary style of the safari tents, enriched with elements inspired by local culture. The view frames spectacular panoramas of the surrounding plains. Inside, the bright living area and private dining room, furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs, invite total relaxation. Meals, prepared by a dedicated chef, can be enjoyed in the dining room or outdoors under the immense African sky.
Bar & Restaurants

Dining

A team of expert chefs at Tambarare Camp offers safari-style cuisine enriched wi ... th local flavors: seasonal salads grown on site, freshly baked bread, grilled meats and fish, rich stews, and pasta dishes. The setting is equally inviting: tables set with linen tablecloths under elegant wave tents. The day begins with continental or English breakfasts at the lodge, while lunch can be served at the lodge or as a picnic in the savannah during safaris. After evening excursions, an aperitif precedes a three-course à la carte dinner, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Upon request, a romantic private dinner can be arranged on the terrace of your room.

Boma Bar

For an aperitif at sunset, the refined Boma Bar offers a unique experience: a te ... nt with a wooden floor, open on all sides, from which to enjoy the vast surrounding grasslands. Here, around the campfire, guests can sip their favourite cocktail, sharing stories and convivial moments as the sun sets on the African horizon. Whether it's an aperitif before dinner or an informal drink, every moment offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for immersing yourself in the magic of the colours and sounds of the savannah at sunset.
