Location
Situated right on the northern edge of the Masai Mara Reserve in the private Mara North Conservancy, Elephant Pepper Camp is tucked away in a prime wildlife area surrounded by the Mara’s ubiquitous game.
Accommodation
The homely atmosphere is part of its charm. Guests can relax with nature, no generators, no vehicles passing, no permanent structures jarring the skyline, just the sights and sounds of the bush which completely surround you.
The camp has ten large and spacious light canvas tents, all set apart underneath a grove of trees. The tents have double or twin beds, elegant campaign furniture, en-suite bathroom, shower with hot running water and flush toilet.

From the veranda you can watch wildlife roam across the plains. Two of the larger tents are able to comfortably accommodate entire families under one roof, or alternatively, if a special occasion, can be taken by couples who would like some extra space.
The main dining tent offers social dining with a help-yourself bar. The staff are friendly and welcoming and arriving in camp is like coming home.
The appetising food is prepared by chefs trained by the owners’ family, using traditional north Italian recipes mixed with international and local favourites. Barbeques by the campfire, dinner in the mess tent or bush breakfasts on the open plain are some of the lasting memories to take home.

Experiences
The camp’s ethos is to provide an adventurous, authentic and diverse Masai Mara safari experience.
Game drives are the very best way to get up close and personal with all of the wildlife in the region and allow you to cover the widest area though there is superb walking in the surrounding hills, across the open plains and in the forested valleys.
Local Maasai guides will enhance your walk, focussing on the smaller flora and fauna so often missed on game drives.
One day you may choose to head out on a full day game drive into the Masai Mara Reserve itself. Another day you may choose to explore the private wilderness area surrounding the camp.
Elephant Pepper truly embodies a “best of both worlds” camp and allows you to enjoy every aspect of this magical land to the fullest.
