Elephant Pepper Camp by Elewana

Welcome to Elephant Pepper Camp by Elewana, a sanctuary of luxury enveloped by the untamed beauty of the Mara North Conservancy. This camp, set amidst a lush grove of fig and elephant pepper trees, is your gateway to an exclusive safari experience in one of Kenya’s most pristine wildlife areas. Here, the vast, rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara are your playground, where the density of wildlife contrasts with the absence of crowds, offering a safari that feels like a personal adventure through time.

The camp’s ethos is one of minimal environmental impact, constructed without cement and powered by solar energy, reflecting a commitment to preserving the natural beauty for future generations. This ensures that as you enjoy the luxury of your surroundings, you’re also partaking in a sustainable journey. The camp’s layout, with tents spread across two wings around a central communal space, provides both privacy and a sense of community, where stories of the day’s sightings or the silence of nature can be equally cherished.

Culinary delights at Elephant Pepper are a blend of Italian finesse and Kenyan flavors, served in an open-air setting that invites you to dine under the stars or in the privacy of your tent. The experience here is about savoring not just the food but the ambiance – the distant calls of wildlife, the cool night air, and the camaraderie of fellow travelers.

Location

Situated in the Mara North Conservancy, Elephant Pepper Camp enjoys an enviable position in one of the least visited yet most wildlife-rich areas of the Masai Mara. This exclusivity means you’re away from the hustle of tourist vehicles, offering a more intimate connection with nature. The conservancy is known for its year-round game viewing, with the added spectacle of the Great Migration during certain months, making it a perfect spot for wildlife enthusiasts.

The camp’s seasonal operations from June 16 to March 31 align with the best times for wildlife observation, avoiding the long rains that might detract from your experience.
