Kilima means “little hill in Kiswahili”
Choose between Classic Safari Tents or Deluxe Safari Tents, both with an understated elegance and luxury. Beautifully furnished with graceful soft touches.
An efficient crew welcomes you into camp with warm smiles. Under the thatched lounge and dining areas, relish in al fresco dining with panoramic views. A feast for the eyes in every sense as fresh innovative cuisine is served in the soulful central space.
The warmth and glow of the campfire entices you to settle in the evenings - glass of wine in hand - and share stories under the splendour of the milky way.
Expansive wooden decks float between the Mara below and the constellations above. From dawn to dusk enjoy front row seats to the phenomenal Mara wildlife show.
Dream of Africa…“lala kama simba”, sleep like a lion
The romantic flickering lights of hurricane lamps lead you to your high-ceilinged tents. Welcome cocoons for a restful night's sleep and afternoon siestas to unwind after an exciting day on safari.
The gentle morning wake up call of ‘hodi’ accompanied by the delicious aroma of freshly roasted coffee or authentic Kenyan tea. The chattering dawn chorus, crisp cool air and beams of sunshine promise another spectacular day in the Mara and coax you out of bed to begin the next day of adventures.
