Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp: Luxury in the Wild
Nestled in the heart of the Naboisho Conservancy, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp offers an exclusive and immersive safari experience in Kenya’s legendary Maasai Mara. With just ten luxurious tents, this private retreat provides breathtaking 270-degree panoramic views of the Mara plains, ensuring an intimate connection with nature. Whether you are seeking unparalleled wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, or serene relaxation, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp delivers an unforgettable journey into the African wilderness.
A Private Escape in Naboisho Conservancy
Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp is located within the 50,000-acre Naboisho Conservancy, a protected haven known for its thriving wildlife and conservation efforts. Unlike the busier areas of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Naboisho offers an exclusive safari experience with fewer vehicles and uninterrupted wildlife sightings.
By choosing to stay at Hemingways Ol Seki, guests contribute to sustainable tourism initiatives that benefit both wildlife conservation and local Maasai communities. The conservancy operates on a community-based model, with Maasai landowners actively participating in conservation efforts and benefiting from tourism revenue. This ensures that the pristine environment and rich biodiversity of the region remain protected for future generations.
Accommodation: Luxury Under Canvas
The camp’s ten elegant tents, including six Nina tents, two Simba family suites, and two Chui suites, are designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and wilderness immersion. Each tent features spacious interiors, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandahs with sweeping views of the savannah. The raised wooden decks allow guests to observe passing wildlife from the privacy of their tent.
For families or groups, the Simba and Chui suites offer additional space and exclusive lounge areas, ensuring a personalized and luxurious experience. Furnished with handcrafted décor and plush bedding, the accommodations seamlessly blend modern comfort with traditional safari charm.
Culinary Excellence in the Bush
Dining at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp is a culinary delight. The camp’s expert chefs craft exquisite meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, many of which are grown in the camp’s own organic garden. Guests can enjoy a variety of international and African-inspired dishes, perfectly paired with fine wines and cocktails.
- Breakfast: A choice of continental or full English breakfast served al fresco, with stunning views of the plains.
- Lunch: A relaxed, multi-course meal featuring seasonal ingredients and light, refreshing options.
- Dinner: A candlelit three-course meal served in the dining tent or under the African night sky for a truly magical experience.

Unforgettable Safari Experiences

Morning and evening game drives offer the best opportunities to witness wildlife activity, while night drives provide a rare chance to observe nocturnal species in action.

Absolutely amazing!! I reached out to David at the last minute when I realized I had an extra couple days in Kenya. He responded immediately and gave me multiple options. Once I picked the package I wanted, he quickly made all the arrangements. They sent someone to meet me Wilson airport in person to give me details about what to expect on my Safari and even a gift! The tour guide/driver in the Maasai Mara was outstanding! I saw the Big Five and tons of animals — all unbelievably close. I got to see a cheetah make a successful kill and a pair of lions mating. It was wild in the best way. All the logistics were handled and everything went smoothly from start to finish. My night in the Mara was truly magical. I’m already thinking of how I can get back and do it again! And for sure I will use Holiday Dealers when I do. Thank you all so much!Posted on Google![]()

The Holiday Dealers are the best! Use their services if you’re thinking to plan a trip to Kenya. I started planning this trip four months from when I wanted to visit with my family (2 young kids). David and his team were instantly responsive providing excellent recommendations on where to stay and options for what to do. The Holiday Dealers showed great flexibility when our flights altered from the original plans and when we wanted to make last-minute adjustments to our trip for the final day. Every driver we had in Nairobi and the Maasai Mara was on time and considerate. Notably, I’m so thankful for going with The Holiday Dealer’s recommendation to use one of their Maasai game drivers, Stanley. Stanley was fantastic and great with our kids. He showed us so much and we learned a lot about the animals, land, and the Maasai tribe. The Holiday Dealers attention to detail is top-notch. We always felt supported and they went above and beyond to ensure this happened.Posted on Google![]()
