Naboisho Camp
Feline frontier
Community-knit Naboisho
Skirting the Maasai Mara Reserve in southwestern Kenya, Asilia Africa's Naboisho Camp has its game face firmly on. Cross-seasonal sightings include predators in residence, and cultural visits to the land’s native owners shed important light on its community-led conservation. Equally inimitable scenes can be found back at camp, too, with spa treatments and pool dips set under encompassing acacia trees, and upscale tented suites a soothing antidote to Earth-kind adventures.
Once you’ve booked your safari stays, the Asilia team will be in touch within 48 hours, on business days, to help arrange travel between camps, which may include charter or private small-plane flights and/or overland transfers.

Our Favourite Rooms
Naboisho Camp has two outfitted options to choose from: the Tented Suites set the scene for more romantic rendezvous with an outdoor shower for two and a private veranda, hugged by vast plain prospects. The Family Tented Suites have similarly enticing views, as well as a duo of rooms for bigger groups.
Poolside
Dozing wildlife aren’t the only ones able to cool off with a dip between ventures: Naboisho Camp has its own outdoor swimming pool (open from sunrise till sunset) that frames the conservancy’s cinematic landscapes and weaves between the camp’s calming communal spaces.
Spa
There’s no formal spa at Naboisho Camp, but staff are happy to arrange treatments — ranging from ancient reflexology and lavender-infused aromatherapies to deep tissue massages that deknot with an oil-coated Maasai rungu — in your tent or anywhere around camp.
Packing Tips
Go for khakis, browns and beiges to blend with your surroundings and secure sightings. A layer or two will come in handy for chillier evenings, too.

Hotel Restaurant
Expect farm-to-fork 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 Naboisho Camp, breakfast might be a picnic in the bush consisting of fresh fruits, yoghurt, muesli, freshly squeezed juices, baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches and wraps. But if you're staying in camp, you also have an option 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 formal bar, but drinks of all varieties are available round-the-clock in the camp’s communal area.
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 suite; meals, too, can be arranged chez vous.
Planes
From Nairobi Wilson Airport, connecting flights touch down at Ol Seki Airstrip, where you’ll be met by Asilia staff for the 45-minute transfer, included with your stay.
Automobiles
All the driving at Naboisho Camp is taken care of by trained staff using Asilia vehicles.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Naboisho Camp’s enviable setting in its eponymous, lesser-known conservancy means fewer crowds and a higher concentration of wildlife. Game drives (both day and night), hot-air ballooning and walking safaris are your best bet for prime sightings, and photography vehicle set-ups make capturing these natural wonders all the easier. More intimate animal meetings come courtesy of trips to Ol Chorro Rhino Sanctuary, or a secluded night in the bush fly camping. There’s equal emphasis on community engagement, too, with visits to local Maasai villages encouraged during your stay.
Naboisho Camp makes an ideal launchpad for a Kenya-to-Tanzania adventure: after three nights at Naboisho, head over the Tanzanian border to Namiri Plains in Serengeti big-cat country for three nights. Then travel to riverine Ruaha in the Iringa region, home to Asilia’s Jabali Ridge camp — two luxurious Tanzanian outposts to complement your Kenyan stay; three prime game-viewing destinations.
