Mara Ngenche Safari Camp
Maasai Mara
Mara Ngenche Safari Camp is a fantastic safari add-on for UK golfers looking to turn a Kenya golf holiday into something truly memorable. Set in the heart of the Maasai Mara, the camp overlooks the meeting point of the Mara and Talek Rivers, where hippos and crocodiles are often seen in the water below. It is a small, intimate camp, hidden within riverine forest, giving guests a peaceful base right in one of Africa’s most famous wildlife areas.
The camp has just ten luxury tented suites, which helps keep the experience quiet and personal rather than busy or overbuilt. Each tent is designed for comfort after a day on safari, with classic canvas-camp style, en-suite facilities and views towards the river or surrounding bush.
For Hashtag Golf Travel clients, Mara Ngenche works best as part of a wider Kenya golf and safari itinerary. You could play golf around Nairobi or the coast, then finish with a few nights in the Maasai Mara for game drives, sundowners and a completely different pace of travel. The wider Mara ecosystem is famous for big cats, elephants, dramatic plains and the Great Migration, when large numbers of wildebeest and zebra move between the Serengeti and the Mara.
This is not a golf resort, and it should not be sold as one. It is the “wow” moment after the golf: wildlife, river views, safari drives and proper once-in-a-lifetime Kenya scenery.

About The Area
The Maasai Mara is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, known for its vast savannahs, abundant wildlife and the world-famous Great Migration. While it is not a traditional golf destination, it offers an extraordinary complement to a Kenya golf itinerary — pairing championship rounds elsewhere with one of the most unforgettable travel experiences on the planet.
There are no championship golf courses within the reserve itself, but most itineraries combine a stay in the Mara with golf in Nairobi, where venues such as Karen Country Club and Muthaiga Golf Club provide high-quality parkland golf with strong tournament pedigree. This creates a well-balanced trip that blends elite golf with world-class safari.
The Maasai Mara is best visited between July and October, when the Great Migration sees millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains and rivers in search of fresh grazing. However, the reserve offers excellent wildlife viewing year-round, with the Big Five — lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard — regularly spotted.
Off the course, the experience is entirely safari-driven. Game drives at sunrise and sunset provide incredible opportunities to witness predators in action, while hot air balloon safaris offer a breathtaking aerial perspective of the landscape. Cultural visits to Maasai villages add depth and authenticity to the journey.
For golfers seeking more than just great courses, the Maasai Mara provides a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience that perfectly complements Kenya’s championship golf — creating a trip that combines sport, nature and adventure in a truly unforgettable way.
