At Rekero Camp, take your front-row seat for the Maasai Mara’s hallmark spectacles. Asilia Africa’s tented safari stay in Kenya is set right by a river crossing point, where wildebeest and zebras thunder past between July and October. Year-round, resident wildlife including lions, cheetahs and elephants turn heads on game drives. But for the best view in the house, settle on the riverfront deck, the savannah stretching to the horizon and show-stealing wildlife waiting in the wings. 

Once you’ve booked your safari stays, the Asilia team will be in touch within 48 hours to help arrange travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Sustainability efforts

Asilia is a B Corp business and sustainability sits at the core of their safari offering, with camps designed to have minimal impact, and every operational choice rooted in reducing harm. At Rekero Camp, prioritising the local economy in its supply chain is crucial, with food sourced from farm-to-fork initiatives in local villages. Across all safari operations Asilia minimise waste, prioritise renewable energy and respect the wilderness. The primary power source in their camps is solar, waste is weighed, segregated, and recycled, emissions are tracked, and Scope 1 carbon is offset via REDD+ projects. As part of the Nawiri Group, Asilia contributes over $10m annually to nature protection and impact funding, providing long-term stable funding to partners across Africa. Their impact approach is community-led and includes a focus on expanding access to quality education in rural areas, funding programmes that benefit over 20,000 primary school students and over 200 vocational scholarships annually.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Meals are served communally as standard, but for romantic dinners à deux, ask for a private table to be set up somewhere overlooking the bush.

Dress Code

Come as you are in this remote, outdoorsy stay.

Hotel restaurant

Expect dining that showcases seasonality and is proudly low on food miles. A commitment to sustainability and a celebration of local, indigenous ingredients underpin Asilia Africa’s approach to cuisine across all camps. Breads, cakes and even ice-creams are made freshly in-house, and dishes are always paired with South African wines. 

At Rekero Camp, breakfast consists of fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, freshly squeezed juices, baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and wraps, as well as options to start your day with hot dishes à la carte. 

Across all Asilia Africa camps, the menu changes by the day; at each meal, there’ll be a choice of starters, mains, sides and desserts, with vegetarians as well served as meat eaters. Lunch on Wednesdays and dinner on Sundays are a distinctly Swahili affair, spotlighting local culinary traditions. If you have food preferences or dietary requirements, the camp’s kitchen team will be happy to adapt dishes to suit. 

Hotel bar

There’s no bar, but drinks can be served around the clock on the deck on in the covered lounge and dining areas. 

Last orders

Rather than working to scheduled hours, meals fit around your plans and staff are happy to flex to meet your wishes.

Room service

Available 24 hours: you can order drinks and snacks to your tent; meals, too, can be arranged chez vous.

Location

Address
Rekero Camp
Masai Mara
Narok County
Kenya

Rekero Camp overlooks the Talek River — a key crossing point during the Great Migration — amid the plains of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve.

Planes

From Nairobi’s Wilson airport, connecting flights touch down at Ol Kiombo airstrip. There, you’ll be met by Asilia staff for the 20-minute shared transfer, included with your stay. Private transfers can be arranged, subject to availability and an extra charge.

Automobiles

All the driving at Rekero Camp is taken care of by trained staff using Asilia vehicles.

Worth getting out of bed for

From July to October, hang out on the deck to spot wildebeest and zebras thundering across the Talek River, under 150 metres away from camp. The surrounding bush’s year-round residents include lions, cheetahs, leopards and elephants; spot them on game drives, or while watching the sun rise over the savannah on a hot-air ballon safari (best during the dry months from June to October, and January and February). And if your curiosity has been piqued by chats with your local guides, then conservation and cultural experiences can be arranged, too. 

Make three nights at Rekero the culmination of a well-rounded itinerary exploring Tanzanian highlights alongside your Kenyan adventure. Start in Tanzania with three nights just outside the Ngorongoro Crater at Asilia stay The Highlands, before heading to northern Serengeti and Sayari Camp for three nights — the ideal pitstop en route to Rekero Camp and the Maasai Mara.   

Local restaurants

You’ll feast on the spectacular scenery of the Maasai Mara and enjoy your fill of safari adventures, but other than this, you can expect all your dining to take place in camp.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this sustainability-focused safari stay in Kenya and unpacked their shuka blankets and binoculars, a full account of their wildlife-watching break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Rekero Camp in the Maasai Mara… 

Each year, the Great Migration sends innumerable wildebeest and zebras on an epic, looping journey across the Maasai Mara — and brings over a million of them crashing across the river metres in front of Asilia Africa’s Rekero Camp.  

A perk of being a pioneering safari stay is that you have your pick of locations. More than 20 years ago, Asilia Africa saw this prime spot’s potential, making the most of it with tented suites, a huge deck and dining area all angled towards the water, plus guided game drives charting the bush that sprawls out beyond it. 

But while the rhythms of nature run like clockwork here, there’s no taking them for granted — the camp works tirelessly with local guides and conservationists to protect and educate about the creatures that share this home. At Rekero, you’re up close to the staggering drama of the circle of life, but also the behind-the-scenes work that keeps it ticking over.
