Tucked away in the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy on the edge of Kenya’s famed Masai Mara, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara offers an intimate and luxurious safari experience in one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildernesses. This elegant tented camp combines classic safari style with modern comfort, featuring just a handful of beautifully appointed tents with panoramic views over the sweeping savannah. Wake to the sound of lions in the distance, enjoy game drives teeming with wildlife, and return to warm hospitality, gourmet meals, and starlit evenings by the fire. With expert guides, unmatched privacy, and access to both the private conservancy and the Masai Mara National Reserve, Ol Seki promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of wild Africa.
Room
Accommodation at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara is the epitome of safari elegance—luxurious, secluded, and seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The camp features a small number of spacious, beautifully designed canvas tents that offer the romance of classic safari living with all the comforts of a boutique hotel. Each tent is set on a raised wooden platform with expansive private decks that open onto uninterrupted views of the Naboisho Conservancy. Inside, the décor blends timeless safari style with contemporary touches—think neutral tones, rich wood accents, and thoughtfully curated furnishings that reflect East African heritage. Flowing fabrics, plush rugs, and king-sized beds with crisp linens create an atmosphere of understated luxury. En-suite bathrooms are generously sized and feature solar-powered hot showers, flushing toilets, double vanities, and eco-friendly toiletries. Some suites include separate lounge areas, writing desks, and even private dining spaces, making them ideal for honeymooners or families. With attentive but discreet service, in-room charging points, and thoughtful extras like hot water bottles for cool evenings, Ol Seki offers a refined yet authentic bush living experience.
Nina Tent
These tents are ideal for couples. The high dome centres over a double bed decked out in fine linens. Six opening panels encompass the bed on three sides which mean that from the comfort of your pillow, you can watch the dawn break in panorama. The rear section of the tent houses your ensuite bathroom and dressing area and in front of the tent is a large wooden deck where you can enjoy private dining, sunbathing and star gazing. The tents are huge and beautiful and you’ll forget that there are any other structures nearby, so well hidden is each tent.
Simba Suite
The Simba Suite is a self contained pent-house in the bush with a private driveway. Complete with kitchen, dining room, living area which connects two enormous double bedrooms, both ensuite, you could house your family here while on safari or just sprawl out in the extensive luxury of a private suite all by yourself. There’s a fully stocked bar and fridge and you can decide the level of service you require - we can provide a tent attendant to be present at all times to cook, pour your drinks and make coffee or we can make your staff invisible and give you the freedom to help yourself to the amenities. The expansive deck can house the telescope at night so you can admire the galaxy or during the day its linen sofa-bed is the ideal place to lounge and flick through the wildlife guide books or the historical photographic books to be found on the bookshelf in your suite. This is ultimate privacy - you need not meet another guest at Ol Seki, unless you’d like to.
Chui Suite
This suite offers greater individual privacy than the Simba suite as the two ensuite double bedrooms are separated from the central living space. The main area between the bedroom tents houses the kitchen, lounge and dining room. The three distinct structures are connected by wooden boardwalks. This means that if other members of your party want to stay up late in the private bar, you can retire to the quiet seclusion of your room next door with a comfortable distance between you and the hub of activity. This suite is ideal for families or friends travelling together who would also like some privacy within the group.

Dining
Dining is a refined yet relaxed experience that celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients and warm Kenyan hospitality. Guests enjoy gourmet meals prepared daily by the camp’s talented chefs, with menus that blend international cuisine and local flavors, often tailored to individual preferences. Breakfasts might include fresh fruits, home-baked breads, and eggs made to order, while lunches are light and refreshing—think vibrant salads, grilled meats, and seasonal vegetables. Dinners are three-course affairs, often enjoyed under the stars or in the atmospheric dining tent, featuring dishes such as herb-crusted lamb, pan-seared fish, or Swahili-inspired curries. Guests can also opt for bush breakfasts, picnic lunches during game drives, or private candlelit dinners on their tent’s deck, creating memorable dining moments in the heart of the wild. With flexible mealtimes and exceptional service, every meal at Ol Seki is an experience in itself—flavorful, scenic, and deeply connected to the land.
Recreation
The camp has a library tent next to the dining tent and being raised up, both have the most stunning views out across the wilderness. A fireplace deck has also been added in front of the Library tent; this is an ideal spot for sun-downer drinks and a chat about the adventures of the day.

Library Tent
This is the quintessential safari scene that has remained largely unchanged for a century or more - no modern technological interruptions of digital noise or flashing images. Find yourself in the warm glow of the paraffin lanterns and candle-light, the hazy bush noises singing in the background as you survey the Koyaki plains. Now compare yourself to other safari-goers over the ages, captured in sepia images in coffee table books. Or contrast your experiences to those described in racy fiction of heady safari romances and dangerously wild encounters. Our shelves offer a variety of Africana - fiction, educational books about local tribes and traditions, guides to wildlife, photographic accounts of East Adrican history. Come and peruse the collection and we’ll help you to drinks from the bar at any time of day or night.
