Alama is Swahili for a mark — and the camp is built to leave one: a small boutique camp on a brook, looking out over the plains of the Mara.
Built from the land it faces.
Canvas over local stone
Ten permanent tented rooms. The walls are built from sedimentary rock collected nearby, which keeps the tents cool by day and warm at night.
A jacuzzi facing the reserve
Every tent opens onto a private deck with its own jacuzzi, hot or cold — binoculars on the rail, the plains in front of you.
À la carte, from the camp farm
The restaurant overlooks the plains. Menus follow what the camp's farm is growing, and any diet is cooked for — gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan.
Somewhere to cool off
A pool and loungers looking out over the Mara, for the hours between the morning and afternoon drives.
Ten tents.
Every deck its own jacuzzi.
Single, double, twin, triple and family set-ups — spacious interiors with an African touch, roll-up canvas onto the viewing deck, and a bathroom that looks over the plains.

The Double Tent
A double, twin or single set-up, stone walls, and a private deck with a jacuzzi facing the reserve. Sleeps 1–2.
The Triple Tent
Three beds under the canvas, stone walls, and the same private deck with a jacuzzi over the plains. Sleeps 3.
The Family Tent
The largest set-up, with room for the family to spread out and a deck with a jacuzzi over the plains. Sleeps up to 4.
A jacuzzi on every deck
Each tent has a private deck facing the reserve with its own jacuzzi — hot or cold water, and the plains in view.
Ten tents, not fifty
A small boutique camp: ten tented rooms around a pool, a lounge and bar, and a restaurant over the plains.
Walls of local stone
Built from sedimentary rock collected nearby, so the tents hold an even temperature through hot days and cool nights.
Close to the gate
A few minutes from Oloolaimutia Gate, so morning drives start in the reserve, not on the road.
Out into the Mara.
Two drives a day or a full day with a picnic, a balloon at sunrise, and the camp's own fly-in safaris from Nairobi. Package prices are the camp's own, per person.
The staff are the part guests write about.
“Best Camp ever.”
Reviewers name the manager, the guides, the chef and the porters by name. The camp plans each stay around its guests — the drives, the meals, the sundowner.
