Loyk Mara Camp

A site steeped in the traditions of the Maasai warriors, where stories of bravery and community came alive amidst the savannah's beauty.

Loyk in Maasai language means Bones. The camp site is located where initially the young Maasai Warriors known as Moran’s used to gather after hunting, skin the animal and cook it over bonfire. They would then share the meat, drink blood mixed with milk while singing and chanting in their dialect. After, they would leave the bones there for scavengers like hyenas and vultures to finish the rest.

Here's The Happiness We Create.
  • Great location! Absolutely worth driving 2 hours on extremely bad roads when you get to such a camp. The camp is located in the middle of Africa’s rich wildlife, with all of the wild right outside the tent. The tents were lovely, good bed and equipped with you need + a little more. Bathrobes, slippers, hot bottle in bed when we were going to bed. The people at the camp were lovely and very service-friendly! Everything was worth the money!

  • This place is so different from anywhere we have stayed before. I have never needed to be escorted by a Maasai warrior to my tent when the light had gone to protect us from lions. or told not to use the pool after 6 because the lions used it then! But it was fantastic. And it felt right to be in the Maasai and staying somewhere which was hopefully benefiting the Maasai people. It was a privalage to be able to stay there and it is an experience we will not forget for all the right reasons!

  • Loyk Mara and its beautiful staff will always have a special place in our hearts, as our far away, hidden home. - there is not even roads to take you there. Such a peaceful place, surrounded by nature and wildlife. Thrilled to hear hippos right outside our tent at night or watch giraffs at the savannah at dinnertime. Excellent service, lovely ambiance. And remember: Never leave this camp without playing volleyball with the maasais. Thank you, Wlliiam, Anthony, Ben, Festas and the rest of you. You made our stay perfect.

  • Just amazing. Magical. Unforgettable. It's one of the best places on Earth. You're like in a fairy tale. The Massai guard you on the way to your room, to the restaurant and wherever you go-- lions, hyenas and any wild animals can come to the property. Sleep , and behind the wall you can hear the beasts howling)))) In general you're really like in a fairy tale

  • Eco friendly fenceless lodges elevate the entire stay here! The staff were nice and approachable and, the food was great - particularly the lamb! Willan was the staff member who attended to us each time. Willan was soft spoken but very friendly. The staff had arranged a birthday SURPRISE for me (instructed by my husband) and Willian lead the maasai performance.

  • The staff was kind and friendly. We loved the hot water bottles for the crisp evenings. It wasn't as intimate as is my general preference -- but there was a stunning pool. We stayed here as part of a trip arranged by Bateleur Eagle Safaris. One criticism was the laundry service was significantly higher priced than at any other camp - by eight fold

  • We stayed in Loyk camp for 2 nights and absolutely loved it! The tents have all the possible amenities: shower, toilet, plenty of storage space, safe box. It’s well protected from mosquitoes and cleaned daily. I’d say maximum comfort you can get in a safari trip for a moderate price. All the employees are very helpful and polite. Masai people and evening bonfire add a special charm.

  • Absolutely amazing camp in Masai Mara. I visited with my family in December, and my breath was taken away. From the location to the service to the food everything was amazing. It was my first camping experience; the tent facilities and the views were amazing. There were lots of animals around the camp, particularly in the mornings which added to the experience. Our tour guide (Sameer) was very welcoming and informative while driving us around. I would absolutely recommend this short escape to anyone visiting Kenya.

  • Wow, what an inceedible place! We highly recommend Loyk Mara Camp to anyone considering travelling to this area. The location is stunning, and we saw a lot of animals around the camp while enjoying our meals and swimming in the pool after amazing game drives. We could hear lions and hippos close around our tent at night, but felt safe and well protected by the Masai warriors that guarded the camp at night. Great experience!

  • It was our first time in Mara so we can’t compare this camp to others. However, we were delighted at the quality of the camp, location, food and service that we got considering the price in comparison to others. The food was lovely. However, we would have liked some Kenyan food. We mentioned this to our guide as we were leaving and he said we should have said earlier as the chef would have happily made it for us. The tent was clean, modern and comfortable. The staff could not do enough for us.
