Rooms

Set apart from each other for privacy and each boasting far-reaching views over the plains below, the Nina tents are circular in shape, light, airy and spacious, and have a furnished patio area often visited by scuttling rock hyraxes. Inside is a double bed or twin beds, with space for an additional single bed if required. The en suite bathroom includes a curtained off shower, flush toilet and dressing area. Families or groups of friends can stay in the Simba tent. The Simba tent has two en suite bedrooms and a central living area with private kitchen, lounge and dining room. The latter also comes with an optional private butler service.

Location

Ol Seki was strategically built on the edge of a ridge, overlooking the Naboisho Valley and the distant Ngama hills. Its location within the Naboisho Conservancy means you’ll see far fewer vehicles while out on game drives compared to in the main reserve, and there are strict rules on the number of vehicles permitted at a wildlife sighting. The area is known for its healthy lion population as well as Masai giraffe, cheetah and elephant.

Food and drink

• The food mostly comprises international fare, although local dishes are served upon request.
• Eat out on the patio gazing across the plains, in the dining tent or in the privacy of your room (Simba and Chui tents can request a private chef for the evening).
• Breakfast includes both cooked options and a buffet of fresh fruits.
• A three-course lunch is usually served at 1pm, followed by afternoon tea prior to your afternoon game drive.
• Return to a three-course dinner at around 8pm.
• Meals are usually enjoyed as a group around the main table and most drinks are included.

Families

• While there are no activities geared exclusively to children, families will have plenty of space and privacy staying in the Chui or Simba tents, which can each accommodate up to six people. The camp is unfenced, so children must be accompanied at all times.

Facilities and activities

The camp has an infinity pool looking out over the valley, a spa and a lounge tent complete with comfy sofas and a selection of books. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and laundry is included in your stay.

Activity-wise, most of your time will be spent on shared morning and afternoon game drives through the conservancy with skilled guides. For an additional cost, you can choose to enter the main reserve. Other options include guided walks, Maasai village visits, dawn hot air balloon rides and horseback safaris.

Environmental and social responsibility

The Naboisho Conservancy is owned by local communities, who benefit financially from tourism in the area. Many of the camp’s staff are from the surrounding Maasai communities and are provided with training to develop professional skills.
