Nashipai—the Maa word for happiness—captures the spirit of everything we do.
Hidden within the landscapes of Lemek Conservancy, Nashipai Mara is a boutique eco-luxury safari hotel where contemporary comfort exists in harmony with one of Africa's most celebrated ecosystems.
Wake to birdsong, cross the plains with experienced guides, return for fireside conversation and sleep beneath a canopy of stars.

Our Luxury Camps
Safari under canvas.
Luxury without noise.
Nashipai Mara is designed as an intimate hotel experience rooted in the landscape of Lemek Conservancy. The architecture carries the romance of a safari tent while opening into warm, contemporary spaces made for privacy, rest and the changing light of the Mara.
Wake to birdsong, return from the plains to your own quiet space and let each evening end with firelight and an endless sky.

Nashipai Mara × Maasai heritage
Every jump,
a thousand years
of story.
Filmed in slow motion, the adumu—the Maasai jumping dance—carries pride, unity and the rhythm of a culture that has shaped this landscape long before it was called the Mara. It is this spirit, not just scenery, that Nashipai Mara is built to honour.
