Little Enkewa: Entire Camp Safari Retreat in heart of the Masai mara, for large families (capacity: 10 Adults)

Strategically positioned in a remote but wildlife-rich corner of the southern Masai Mara, Little Enkewa is an intimate five-tent safari camp offering an exclusive and deeply personal way to experience one of Africa’s greatest wilderness destinations.

Designed for families, private groups and special celebrations, Little Enkewa offers the rare opportunity to reserve a private safari camp where every day unfolds around your interests, pace and preferences.

With your own safari guide, dedicated camp team and flexible daily programme, there are no shared schedules or fixed routines. Your safari can be shaped around what matters most to your group — whether that means spending longer tracking predators, searching for elusive leopards, enjoying a full-day wildlife adventure or simply taking time to relax and absorb the beauty of the Mara.

This is not a traditional lodge experience. Little Enkewa combines the intimacy of a private wilderness retreat with exceptional wildlife viewing, authentic Maasai connections and a genuine sense of being immersed in nature.

Who Is This Safari For?

Little Enkewa is ideal for travellers looking for a more exclusive and personalised safari experience.

This safari is particularly suited for:

The camp is designed for those who value privacy, meaningful experiences and the freedom to explore the wilderness at their own rhythm.

A Privileged Location Away From the Crowds

Little Enkewa is located near the Sand River in the southern Masai Mara, in an area known for its pristine landscapes, abundant wildlife and fewer visitors.

By exploring less-travelled areas away from the busiest routes, guests enjoy a more intimate safari experience while remaining surrounded by the incredible wildlife that makes the Mara famous.

The area is home to the Big Five and offers exceptional opportunities to observe:

• Lions, including several prides that move through the surrounding area
• Leopards and other elusive predators
• Elephants, buffalo and giraffes
• Seasonal movements of the Great Migration

With expert guides and a deep understanding of the ecosystem, each safari is tailored around the interests of your group and the wildlife encounters unfolding around you.

Expert Guiding & Wildlife Photography

Little Enkewa is particularly suited for travellers interested in wildlife photography.

Specially designed safari vehicles and experienced guides provide excellent opportunities to capture the wildlife and landscapes of the Masai Mara.

The camp regularly welcomes photographers drawn by:

✓ Exceptional wildlife viewing
✓ Expert guides who understand animal behaviour
✓ Flexible safari schedules
✓ Exclusive sightings away from crowded areas

Whether you are a passionate photographer or simply want the best possible wildlife experience, the guiding team helps you make the most of every moment.
