Offbeat Ndoto, Mara North Conservancy
Location
Offbeat Ndoto is located in the South East of the Mara North Conservancy on the Olare Orok River. It is just downstream from Offbeat Mara Camp.
Camp Information
The latest addition to the Offbeat Portfolio, Offbeat Ndoto, opened in August 2021. Ndoto, the Kiswahili word for Dream, is a dream of Offbeat Mara’s founder Piers and gives hope for the future as the world recovers from the pandemic. With just four tents in the prime conservancy of Mara North this camp is the ultimate in game viewing, privacy and our customary Offbeat hospitality.
Offering stunning views across the Offbeat Valley each well-appointed luxury double safari tent has a veranda, sitting room, bedroom and shower room with fully plumbed hot and cold running water. Our beautifully designed Mess Tent offers delicious homemade delights, plenty of ice-cold drinks and a campfire for many a safari tale. Down on our secret island lunches can be enjoyed under the shade of ancient Sycamore Fig trees whilst the Olare Orok River bubbles past. The traditional top-class Offbeat Service will make for your dream safari.
