Mara Nyika is Great Plains Conservation's Naboisho camp, four raised canvas suites and a two-bedroom family tent on walkways deep in a valley, plus the private Sambuk Suite. It is priced like Mara Plains at $1,745 per person, with fees, drinks and flights from Wilson included. Great Plains says its Kenya camps are the country's only Relais & Chateaux members; that is the operator's claim. Unlike Mara Plains, Mara Nyika is in Naboisho to the east, so drives into the reserve take longer. Choose it for a very small all-in camp with a family tent; skip it if reserve days are the point of your trip.

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 Mara Nyika Camp
From $1,745 pppn. Great Plains' page (read 6 Oct 2026): from $1,745 per person sharing per night on the same fully inclusive basis as its other Mara camps, which Great Plains says covers park and conservancy fees, meals, drinks and scheduled flights from Nairobi Wilson on a two-night minimum.
All inclusive. The rate covers meals, drinks, activities and the transfers named below. Park fees are charged separately.
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.
