3 nights Masai Mara & 5 nights Zanzibar A luxurious family holiday that combines a short safari at a tented...
Offbeat Mara is a secluded safari camp bordering the main Maasai Mara, offering authentic wildlife encounters, walking safaris and night drives, with understated comfort, expert guiding and a wonderfully wild, away-from-the-crowds atmosphere.
Offbeat Mara is beautifully situated in Mara North Conservancy, a private concession bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve, it delivers the wildlife riches of the Mara while quietly sidestepping its busier excesses.
The camp itself is refreshingly unpretentious: classic safari tents, thoughtfully placed for privacy, with excellent beds, hot bucket showers and views that stretch into big, animal-filled horizons. What truly elevates Offbeat Mara, however, is freedom. Walking safaris, night drives, fly camping and long days out with a picnic are not add-ons but part of the philosophy. The guiding is first-rate โ knowledgeable, engaging and instinctively attuned to guests who want to learn, not merely tick boxes.
They premise Offbeat Mara Camp has taken the traditional camping term and turned it into something rather special – fantastic guiding, a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and outstanding management to make you feel right at home.
At Safari & Beach, we like Offbeat Mara because it feels honest. It is quietly confident, deeply connected to its landscape and run by people who understand that luxury in the Mara is about space, access and authenticity rather than chandeliers and champagne theatrics. It suits intelligent travellers who want to feel immersed, informed and slightly smug about having chosen somewhere genuinely special โ which, of course, they have.

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into planning and arranging our itinerary – everything went smoothly and everyone we dealt with in Africa was delightful, thanks to you. It was a magical trip and far exceeded all my expectations – I could have stayed at Ol Seki forever.
We had a fantastic time – by breaking the holiday into plenty of different stages, it felt more like a month’s holiday, rather than just 2 weeks. Lewa Safari Camp was very luxurious and comfortable.
