Tangulia Mara is a nice small and traditional safari camp. This one of the few properties in Kenya that is 100% owned and operated by Masai people. It was set up by two experienced Masai safari guides to show that the conservation effort can be “home owned” and is a viable alternative to cattle herding. This is a great operation and it is so good to see something that is owned and ran by Kenyan people keeping the proceeds in the community.
Tangulia Mara Camp is situated on private land on the western boundary of the Mara Reserve, allowing easy access to game drive around the Musiara Marsh, the short grass plains, and Rhino Ridge, in the reserve or across the Mara River bridge into the Mara Triangle west of the river. Both areas have rich biodiversity and offer prime wildlife and big cat viewing; and, during the migration, ready access to some of the main river-crossing places. Guided walks on the slopes of the escarpment outside the reserve, and experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the nearby village are great attractions for guests.
