Mara Toto Tree Camp

Our View

Mara Toto Tree Camp is a welcome luxury addition to the famed Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Set in ebony treetops overlooking the Ntiakitiak River, this camp is an attractive, homely space to flop in after dusty game drives, with large suites and the air of old school safari exploration mixed with a nice smattering of luxury.

Mara Toto Tree Camp - The Facts

A new 2024 offering from Great Plains, standards are high in Mara Toto Tree Camp, as is the case throughout their African safari boltholes. Here, canvas-encased tents are constructed on wooden platforms, complete with luxurious baths, indoor showers, spacious lounge areas with stylish chunky wooden furnishings, and an outdoor balcony set up with a little table, perfect for sunrise coffees as animals come and go from the water below.

Wildlife opportunities here are second-to-none, with two migrations - the Great Wildebeest Migration - and the green season Loita Plains zebra migration, possible to catch from camp if you time it right. Elsewhere, leopards are known to prowl through camp and lions can be heard roaring in the night.

With a maximum of just eight guests across four treetop suites, you are assured to receive a personalised safari experience in and out of camp. Outside of safari adventures, guests are encouraged to enjoy spa treatments and even get a tour of the camp’s modern kitchen, to see how the chefs make delicious meals in the remote Kenyan wilderness.

While the per person per night starting price is $1,606, it rockets to $3,133 in high season, which definitely isn’t the best value for money you can get in Kenya, or even the costly Southern Africa safari parks, for that matter.

It’s also important to note that while Toto is tucked away, it is not in its own private park, but is situated in the Masai Mara national reserve, so comes with some expectation of other tourists. Just five minutes away is Toto’s more exclusive sister camp Mara Plains, in the private Mara North conservancy. While Toto has access to the private reserve, it’s 30 minutes away, and this camp has to adhere to national reserve rules, so there’s no off-roading or night drives close to home.
