Siana Springs Masai Mara Intrepids Camp

Siana Springs Intrepids Camp-Masai mara.
At the base of the Ngama Hills, on the Eastern edge of the Masai mara National conservation is where Siana Springs Intrepids Camp is located. It covers a lush indigenous forest watered by the largest natural springs in the Mara ecosystem-Siana Springs, or ‘the plentiful springs’ in Maa, the language of the Maasai people. The camp’s location in the heart of the Siana group Ranch provides guests with unique opportunities for private bush walks and drives on the game-rich plains and along the seasonal streams under the Ngama Hills. Siana’s related properties in the Mara Reserve also provide lunch, swimming and other activities in the middle of the reserve, which break all-day game drives. The journey to the Siana Springs Intrepids Camp, which is 240 Kilometres southwest of Nairobi, involves a 30-40 minute flight to its airstrip, or a four-hour drive from the capital.

Siana Springs Intrepids Camp tries as it can, to uphold the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility and this, it does with an eco-tourism approach plus focus on conservation. There are very good ties between the camp and the Maasai landlords, who contribute to its workforce by more that 60 percent.
It is important to note also that the Siana Springs Intrepids contribute and support the surrounding community. For example, it put a hand during the building of local Nkoilale primary school and yet it continues to help the school reach t a higher level. More on that, is the camp’s effort to protect the area’s rich game and to limit degradation through livestock grazing, by supporting an initiative to develop a local conservation area. Siana Springs Intrepid Camp is managed on strict ecological principles with water heating fuelled by waste charcoal dust, wastewater recycled through the camp’s extensive constructed wetland system, and biodegradable waste covered for compost.

The dining area where Siana Springs Intrepids camp is located is larger, and it has got a beautiful open-air terrace which looks out across the camp’s lush lawns to the open plains of Africa and beyond.
