After a transformative refresh, Ishara Mara is back—offering a reimagined safari experience in the heart of the Maasai Mara. Set along the Talek River, this luxury camp merges world-class comfort with untamed wilderness, delivering an adventure that feels both intimate and extraordinary.
With a prime location in the Reserve, Ishara places you in the midst of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles. But staying in the wild doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. The spacious tented suites offer private decks, plush furnishings, vintage copper bath tubs and open-air showers that bring you even closer to nature.
Brand-new features include elevated walkways that soar through lush tree canopies, a redesigned spa, a yoga deck, a sauna, cold plunge and hot tub, an expanded swimming pool, an elevated gym overlooking the plains, a wine cellar, and an al fresco fireplace and lounge.
With your own private luxury land cruiser for exhilarating game drives and an eclectic mix of settings within the camp and in the Reserve, Ishara’s poetic interpretations of the gastronomic experience conjure up an ambience to complement and enhance the fine dining and mindful cuisine offerings; think Nespresso machines on game drives and hot out of the oven artisanal pizza for sundowners and you very quickly realise that this is a camp unlike any other.
For those who love photography, Ishara is a dream. A fully equipped Canon studio with resident photographers provides complimentary professional gear, photo safaris and photoshoots to ensure you capture every breathtaking moment. But the experience goes beyond game drives—the Mara’s only Starbed offers a night under African skies, and visits to Maasai communities provide a meaningful connection to local traditions.
Sustainability is woven into every aspect of Ishara and the camp is designed to leave a light footprint while supporting conservation and community initiatives that protect this iconic landscape.
Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or a deeper connection with the wild, Ishara Mara is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. Is this the safari experience you’ve been waiting for?
