Whilst this impressive camp holds claim to the best views over the Masai Mara and is the only place you can sit watching the herds of animals moving across the savannah below you, the real reason you are here is to support the community projects that Mara West is famed for.

Andrew Aho (the owner/manager) moved to Kenya 15 years ago to set up an NGO project in the Masai Mara. They eventually settled on top of the Oloololo Ridge and started building schools and clinics for the local villages in the area. Soon he had volunteers coming to assist him in the clinics from all over the world and so the first Mara West tents were erected to accommodate them. Today the camp has transformed into a charming, attractive tented camp to accommodate clientele from all over the world who want to come and appreciate the magnificence of the Masai Mara and to see the fantastic work that Andrew and his team have done for the communities.
