Rekero Camp is situated at what is recognised as the prime site within the Masai Mara Game Reserve, close to the confluence of the Mara and Talek River, ten minutes from the main Wildebeest crossings during the migration. The camp overlooks large pools populated with hippo and crocodile, and offers some of the finest big cat viewing in Africa.

 

The camp is set up seasonally (June-October, December-March) and caters for up to eighteen guests. Gerard and Rainee Beaton and Jackson Ole Looseyia own and host this unique camp. Their team of Professional Masai Safari Guides and camp crew have worked together for years providing guests with an in-depth and truly memorable Masai Mara experience.

Accommodation is in 8 spacious tents, all with en-suite bathrooms.
