Born out of lifelong passion for the Masai Mara and Maasai people, Ishara Masai Mara sits on the banks of the Talek River in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Ishara was built on what originally was the favourite campsite of the owner, who became known to the community as he spent every spare minute escaping to the beauty and wonder of the Masai Mara.
The swahili word for ‘sign’, Ishara invites guests to leave the hustle and bustle of daily life, escaping to nature to stop and listen to the signs all around them. Built to blend in to its surroundings with eco-friendly design, the camp is comprised of:
– 9 x River Suites (103m2)
– 2 x Family Suites (168m2)
– 3 x Safari Suites (46m2) (recommended for private guides)
– 1 x Starbed
– Dining Area & Lounge
– Aya Spa
– Infinity Pool
– Gym
– Taswira Photo Studio: The Mara’s First Canon Brand Experience Centre with Resident Professional Photographer
– Observation Deck
– Wildlife Waterhole
– Shamba of Goodness: Solar-powered, Aeroponic Tower Farm
– Gift shop
Furnished in harmony with the Masai Mara and Kenya supporting local artisans and traditional craftsmanship, the river and family suites overlook the Talek River and feature indoor and outdoor showers, outdoor vintage bathtubs, minibars, tea and coffee stations, yoga mats, electronic safes, universal charging sockets and WiFi coverage.
