Best camp for Kenyan residents in the Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara has earned a reputation for being overrun with tourists, leading many Kenyan residents to overlook this iconic destination. But let’s be honest: there's still no better place on Earth for a safari. With its breathtaking landscapes and unrivaled wildlife, the Maasai Mara remains an unbeatable spot to experience the magic of nature. Whether you're looking to reconnect with the wild or impress foreign friends with Africa's finest, the Mara delivers every time. Imagine witnessing all of Africa's big cats in just one day—this is the kind of experience that only the Mara can offer.

Many of Tor's Camp clients will see leopard, cheetah and lion all in one morning within a 5 km radius of camp. 

If you’re a resident of Kenya, Tor’s Camp is the perfect home base for your Mara adventure. Designed with locals in mind, our camp offers a range of options that make it easy and affordable to experience the best of the Maasai Mara.

Too often, we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of city life and forget the incredible wildlife that’s practically on our doorstep. At Tor’s Camp, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of lions roaring—a reminder of the wild beauty that the Mara offers.
