Walking Safaris and Big Cat Sightings in Mara Naboisho

Mara Conservancy, Kenya

Set within the wildlife-rich Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Asilia Naboisho Camp offers one of the most immersive safari experiences in the Greater Masai Mara. Bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve, this private conservancy is celebrated for its low vehicle density, excellent predator sightings, and freedom to explore on foot.

Naboisho Camp is deliberately open and unfenced, designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding plains. The nine spacious tented suites feature king-sized beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and private verandas that overlook the savanna. Early mornings here are best spent with coffee on your deck, listening to the sounds of the bush come alive.

Guiding is a standout at Naboisho. In addition to expertly led game drives, guests can enjoy walking safaris, night drives, and fly camping, experiences not permitted inside the Masai Mara National Reserve itself. This flexibility, paired with exceptional wildlife density, makes Naboisho a firm favourite for experienced safari travellers.

Why We Love ASILIA NABOISHO CAMP:

Asilia is a founding member of the 20,234-hectare Mara Naboisho Conservancy, one of Kenya’s most successful conservation models. The conservancy is a partnership between Maasai landowners and safari operators, where tourism fees directly support land leases, conservation management, and local livelihoods.

For guests, this means exceptional wildlife viewing, fewer vehicles, ethical safari practices, and genuine community impact. It is safari done properly.

Insider’s Tip: Bring your Swarovski binoculars. With over 260 recorded bird species, Naboisho is a rewarding destination for birding enthusiasts, especially during the green season.

 FAQs About Asilia Naboisho Camp

What makes Asilia Naboisho Camp different from lodges inside the Masai Mara?

Asilia Naboisho Camp is located in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, a private wildlife area bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve. This allows activities not permitted inside the national reserve, including walking safaris, night drives, and fly camping. The conservancy also operates with strict limits on vehicle numbers, creating quieter sightings, better predator viewing, and a more immersive safari experience.

Is Asilia Naboisho Camp suitable for families?

Yes. Asilia Naboisho Camp welcomes families and private groups, particularly those with older children who enjoy a more adventurous safari style. The flexibility of the conservancy allows guides to tailor activities to the group, including shorter game drives, walking experiences, and time spent at camp. It works especially well for families seeking a meaningful, low-crowd safari rather than a busy lodge environment.

When is the best time to visit Asilia Naboisho Camp?

Naboisho is a year-round safari destination. Wildlife viewing is excellent throughout the year due to resident predator populations, particularly lions and cheetah. The Great Migration may pass through the wider area between July and October, depending on rainfall patterns. The green season offers fewer visitors, dramatic landscapes, and outstanding birdlife, making it a rewarding time for experienced safari travellers.
