Rekero Tented Camp

...situated in the midst of the Mara Serengeti Ecosystem, home not only to the Beaton Family but also to the greatest concentration and diversity of wildlife in the world. The Beaton family arrived in Africa in 1889, pioneering Kenya's conservation movement in 1946. The conservation tradition continues today at Rekero where they offer old time hospitality and a unique insight into the Masai Mara's wildlife, cultures, flora and fauna.

Amidst the teeming mass of wildlife in the Masai Mara area, Rekero's tented camp is currently inside the Masai Mara Game reserve, very close to the confluence of the Mara and Talek rivers. This mobile camp is ideally situated for the annual migration from the Serengeti through the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The Camp is set up seasonally and caters for up to fourteen guests. Gerard and Rainee Beaton along with their partner Jackson Ole Looseyia own and host this unique camp. Their team of professional Masai safari guides and camp crew have worked together for years, providing guests with an in depth and truly memorable Masai Mara experience.

The camp nestles in riverine forest on the banks of the Talek river. Accommodation is in five spacious double / twin tents and two triple tents - all are ensuite with flush loos and safari showers. Solar lanterns and Kerosene lamps are provided in each tent. Wildlife viewing and bird watching can be done on foot with experienced Il Dorobo and Masai guides, or in custom-built four-wheel drive vehicles. Picnics in the bush and sun downers also feature. The safari chefs produce appetising 'farmhouse' meals, which utilise skillful blends of flavours and cuisine from both East and West.

The Masai Mara Game Reserve and adjacent Conservation area totals 750 square miles and forms the northern tip of the Serengeti / Mara ecosystem. The Masai Mara offers wonderful scenery and an amazing abundance of wildlife. Every year it hosts what is now recognised as the greatest show on earth, 'the migration' which takes place between July and October. Over a million wildebeest and two hundred thousand zebra pass through on their endless journey, following the rains and in search of grass. Here you are able to witness the spectacular river crossings and the frenzy of predator activity.

The Masai Mara is also home to one of the great fighting tribes of Africa, the Masai whose culture is both fascinating and truly unique.
