Location:
Hammerkop Camp is located within the Masai Mara Game Reserve, on the western side of the Olare Orok River, a tributary of the Talek River which itself feeds into the Mara River.
The Camp:
Hammerkop is a semi-permanent traditional tented safari camp with a total of just 6 tents, making it a very private atmosphere with personalised service. The large mess tent has views onto the river and into the surrounding bushland.
The area abounds with wildlife & birds, your game drive commences immediately when leaving the camp. Each tent has a long drop toilet and traditional bucket shower connecting directly at the rear. Hot showers are brought on demand.Our experienced safari chef provides delicious meals baked freshly each day, and the camp staff are on hand to make your stay a comfortable one.
At the end of each season the camp is packed up and removed so that the site can grow back into natural bushland and return to it's original residents, the hippos who inhabit the pool in front of the mess tent!
Advantages:
Located within the inner region of the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Narok County Council side, the camp is within easy reach of all wildebeest crossings on the Mara River as well as the Musiara Swamp area. The area itself is famous for its leopards.
Your game drive commences immediately when leaving the camp, there are not kms to be driven to reach the prime wildlife viewing areas. Camping in the bushland wilderness brings you close to nature, with the peace and tranquility of this unique natural environment.
Specifically with photographers in mind, the mess tent has a special area for using computers and charging batteries.
