Acacia House, Mara North Conservancy - Saruni Basecamp
Luxury Private Hotels & Lodges
Most people who visit the Maasai Mara stay in a camp. They share game drive vehicles with strangers, eat at set mealtimes, and follow someone else's schedule. Acacia House is none of those things.
Set in the secluded Ol Chorro Losoit Valley within the Lemek Hills — deep inside the 70,000-acre Mara North Conservancy, far from the tourist trails of the main reserve — Acacia House is a three-bedroom colonial-style private home in the African bush. It is yours exclusively. The chef cooks when you are hungry. The guide takes you out when you are ready. The vehicle is waiting whenever you want it. Animals walk past the front veranda to the Ol Chorro waterhole at any hour, day or night, and your open-air deck is positioned perfectly to watch them do it.
The house itself has the warm, lived-in feel of a bush home built for people who love Africa — a log fire in the open-plan lounge and dining room, two spacious double bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms, and an attic room above. Leading off the veranda is the shared pool with Mara House next door, a barbecue area ideal for long sundowner lunches, and views across the Mara plains that guests consistently describe as jaw-dropping.
Your private guide is KPSGA-certified and operates exclusively for your house — meaning game drives happen on your schedule, turn around when you want to, and explore territory that shared safari vehicles rarely reach. The Mara North Conservancy permits night drives, off-road game viewing, guided bush walks, and Maasai village visits — none of which are available inside the national reserve. And on Thursdays, the local weekly Maasai market is one of the most authentic community experiences in the entire Mara ecosystem.
For a couple wanting complete privacy in the Maasai Mara — no other guests, no shared spaces, no schedules — this is the answer.

About Package
More information about this package
Exclusive-use private bush house — entirely yours: Acacia House is booked as a whole property, meaning a couple gets three bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, an open-plan lounge with log fire, and a private veranda — all to themselves. No other guests, no shared spaces, no schedules beyond your own.
Ol Chorro waterhole — wildlife at your front door: The veranda of Acacia House overlooks the busy Ol Chorro waterhole, where waterbuck, zebra, elephant, and big cats come to drink at all hours. The deck is positioned to make this the centrepiece of every morning coffee and evening sundowner — a natural wildlife theatre that never closes.
Private chef, house manager, and personal guide: A full team is dedicated exclusively to your house — a chef who cooks to your schedule and preferences, a house manager who runs everything invisibly, and a KPSGA-certified safari guide with your own private vehicle available from dawn until after dark.
Night drives, off-road access, and bush walks in Mara North: Because Acacia House sits on private conservancy land, your guide can offer night game drives, off-road driving, guided walks with a Maasai ranger, and Maasai village visits — experiences completely prohibited inside the main national reserve, all included in your stay.
Shared pool, barbecue area, and colonial bush home atmosphere: The house shares a swimming pool and barbecue area with adjacent Mara House, set above the waterhole. Log fires, plush sofas, an open-plan dining room, and the warm atmosphere of a colonial bush home create an intimacy that no tented camp can replicate.
Mara North Conservancy — 70,000 acres of private wildlife habitat: With strict vehicle limits, off-road access, and no day-trippers, Mara North delivers a game-viewing quality significantly above the main reserve. The Lemek Hills area around Acacia House is particularly known for big cats — lion, leopard, and cheetah are all reliably present.
