Nestled within one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, something extraordinary has taken root. Years of hosting guests at Enkewa Camp have taught us that the best experiences happen when authenticity and exclusivity meet. That spirit has inspired Little Enkewa, a brand-new chapter in our journey.
This isn’t just another safari lodge; it’s a more intimate, refined extension of everything our visitors have come to love about Enkewa. If you’re ready to redefine luxury safari travel and immerse yourself in nature at its most majestic, you’ve come to the right place.
What is Little Enkewa
Located just metres from its sister camp, Little Enkewa offers a distinctly private retreat enveloped by the breathtaking savannas of the Masai Mara. The camp sits near the Sand River, where wildlife roams freely, creating an uninterrupted connection with the natural world.
This exclusive camp features only five elegantly designed tents, each reflecting seamless harmony with the surrounding environment. Think wide verandahs perfect for sunrise coffee, indoor and outdoor showers, and interiors inspired by the richness of African aesthetics coupled with sophisticated style.
You’ll have access to a private lounge and dining area, ensuring a secluded yet warm experience. Whether savouring meals tailored to your tastes or sipping sundowners by the fire, every detail is crafted to make you feel uniquely at home in the bush.
Why Little Enkewa Stands Out Among Luxury Safaris
Designed for Exclusivity
Little Enkewa elevates privacy to a whole new level. With only five tents, it ensures serenity far from the crowds you might encounter at larger camps. Adults-only stays make it an oasis of calm, ideal for couples, honeymooners, and small groups seeking tranquillity. You can also book the camp exclusively for family adventures where children can explore freely in a safe, private setting.
Your Journey, Your Rhythm
Every moment at Little Enkewa is guided by our expert Maasai team, whose intimate knowledge of local wildlife and culture ensures a tailored experience. From beautifully paced game drives to cultural encounters, the plan is simple — we work around your rhythm, not the other way around.
A Sustainable Connection
Little Enkewa isn’t just in the Masai Mara; it’s a part of it. Built with a deep respect for the land and those who call it home, our camp embodies sustainability. It’s where eco-commitment thrives alongside personalised luxury. Recycler water systems, locally sourced decor, and fair employment practices make every stay meaningful.
What You’ll Experience at Little Enkewa
At Little Enkewa, the richness of your surroundings comes alive, whether you’re venturing out into the bush or relaxing by your tent. Here’s what awaits you:
- Unparalleled Wildlife
From intimate Big Five sightings to front-row passes to the awe-inspiring Great Migration, explore the Masai Mara in all its untamed glory. Our private safari zones mean no jostling for views, just uninterrupted encounters.
- Cultural Immersion
It’s more than a safari; it’s an invitation to connect with our Maasai team and learn their traditions. From storytelling by the campfire to guided village visits, we share the culture that enriches this land.
- Customised Activities
Whether it’s sunrise balloon rides for a bird’s eye view of the Mara or night drives that reveal a hidden world, each itinerary is crafted to your interests and comfort.
- Organic Dining
All meals are prepared from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. You’ll taste the earth’s richness in slow-cooked, exquisitely spiced dishes served in our intimate dining pavilion.
- Eco-Driven Comfort
Sustainable luxury runs through everything we do. Rest easy knowing your unforgettable safari adventure supports conservation and local communities.
Is Little Enkewa the Right Choice for Families
While Little Enkewa is primarily designed as an adults-only retreat, families can book the camp exclusively, ensuring children can roam freely in a secure environment. Exclusive bookings mean tailored schedules, kid-friendly meals, and experiences the whole family will treasure.
Imagine seeing your child’s face light up during their first lion sighting or enjoying private bush picnics together. It’s not just a holiday; it’s quality time redefined by nature.
