The Sambuk Suite at Mara Nyika

Tent of the property Great Plains Mara

Experience a most unusual stay in Kenya in the Sambuk Suite at Mara Nyika. This accommodation seamlessly immerses you in this natural setting. Typical of East Africa design, it's the ideal camp for friends and family to immerse themselves in the heart of the bush and Swahili culture. During the day, the dry and sparse vegetation makes it easy to observe animals. On your return, relax in the comfort of your central living room or on the outdoor covered veranda, as you watch wildlife roaming freely in this protected ecosystem. Alternatively, enjoy a relaxing soak in the copper tub. At the end of the day, gather under the canopy–it offers both privacy and breathtaking views of the bush. Dine with the unique feeling of being alone in the world.
