Safari company
Fairmont Mara Safari Club is a 38-room tented hotel on a bend of the Mara River in the north-western corner of the Mara, at the foot of the Aitong Hills in Olchoro Oirowua Conservancy, outside the reserve. Run by Fairmont, part of Accor, it feels more hotel than camp. Since January 2025 it has sold an all-inclusive safari package, and it advertises resident rates through December 2026, but no figure appears on the page. Choose it if you want a hotel brand you know with river frontage; skip it if you want a small camp or a short drive to the reserve.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
- $200per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.
The full fee schedule for Masai Mara National ReserveRates at Fairmont Mara Safari Club
Rates on request. Fairmont shows no rate on its page (read 6 Oct 2026). It advertises an all-inclusive safari package available since January 2025 and resident rates through December 2026. Ask which fees the package covers; the reserve ticket is $100 (January to June) or $200 (July to December) per adult per day.
It depends which package you book. This camp sells more than one basis, from self-catering up to fully inclusive. The rates note says what each one covers.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
