Karen Blixen Camp Game Viewing and Activities
The legendary Masai Mara in Kenya offers incredible game viewing opportunities and wildlife include lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, elephant, rhino, giraffe, various antelopes, wildebeest, zebra and warthogs can often be seen on game drives in the area. The birdlife is also excellent around the camp and surrounding environs. From the camp you can explore the quiet corner of the Mara ecosystem of the Koiyaki Lemek Group Ranch which is home to the famed Leopard Gorge which has provided the stage for numerous BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel documentaries including the Big Cat Diaries. As the camp is located on a private ranch, it enjoys the benefits of both unfenced access to the Masai Mara Game Reserve and private game viewing within the ranch.
