Kilima Camp
Escarpment eco tented camp with a private house · Oloololo Escarpment, about 15 minutes from Oloololo Gate · Kilima Camp
Kilima Camp is perched high on the Oloololo Escarpment at 1,850 metres, outside the reserve, with access to a private conservancy of its own; a travel wiki puts it about 15 minutes from Oloololo Gate. It offers horse riding on the escarpment, which the reserve does not allow, and game drives down in the Mara Triangle. Besides the tents there is Osim, a private house for up to nine guests. The site does not name the owner or publish rates. Choose it for an escarpment base with riding and quick access to the Triangle; skip it if you want to wake up on the plains.

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 Kilima Camp
Rates on request. No rate captured from Kilima's own site (read 6 Oct 2026). Drives into the Triangle carry the reserve ticket of $100 (January to June) or $200 (July to December) per non-resident adult per 12-hour day, payable by card or M-Pesa in the Triangle.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
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.
