Set in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, Olive Bush Camp offers an intimate safari experience for travellers wanting to feel completely immersed in the African wilderness. With just a handful of tented suites, the camp has a wonderfully private and relaxed atmosphere, far removed from the feel of a large safari lodge. Its beautiful position along the Mara River means guests are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the bush, with hippos, elephants and other wildlife found in the surrounding area.

The camp is unfenced, allowing wildlife to move naturally through the area and creating an authentic sense of being part of the Mara rather than simply visiting it. Comfortable safari tents provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring, while the riverside setting is ideal for sitting back and watching life unfold around you.

Olive Bush Camp is particularly well suited to travellers looking for a small, personal and authentic Maasai Mara safari. Days can be spent exploring the reserve in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe and the vast variety of plains game for which the Mara is famous. During the Great Migration season, the Mara River and surrounding plains become the stage for one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles.

For guests travelling with Go African Adventures, the experience is made even more personal with a private safari vehicle and guide exclusively for your party, giving you greater freedom over your game drives. Spend longer at an incredible sighting, concentrate on photography, follow a particular species or simply enjoy exploring the Mara at your own pace.

With its intimate size, wild riverside location and relaxed bush-camp atmosphere, Olive Bush Camp is a wonderful choice for travellers who want to experience the Maasai Mara the way a safari should feel — close to nature, personal and wonderfully wild.
