“All I wanted to do was get back to Africa,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in The Green Hills of Africa. “We had not left it, yet, but when I would wake in the night I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.”

Located in the newly formed Ripoi Conservancy, the camp lies in a stunning undiscovered area outside the Masai Mara National Reserve. The camp is 50% Masai and 50% female owned. It comprises six double ensuite tents and two family tents with two bedrooms and two bathrooms each.
