An Eqsy Saturday afternoon

An amazing space, quiet, good ambience , good food. We enjoyed our experience. It has joined the list of one of our favorite places in Nairobi.

Nestled at the edge of the Oloolua Forest in Nairobi’s leafy Karen suburb, Eden is just minutes from iconic attractions like the Giraffe Centre, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and Karen Blixen Museum—yet feels blissfully removed from the city bustle.

Tucked away in the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy on the edge of Kenya’s famed Masai Mara, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara offers an intimate and luxurious safari experience in one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildernesses. This elegant tented camp combines classic safari style with modern comfort, featuring just a handful of beautifully appointed tents with panoramic views over the sweeping savannah.

Wake to the sound of lions in the distance, enjoy game drives teeming with wildlife, and return to warm hospitality, gourmet meals, and starlit evenings by the fire. With expert guides, unmatched privacy, and access to both the private conservancy and the Masai Mara National Reserve, Ol Seki promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of wild Africa.

Other Facilities

Restaurant

The camp has a library tent next to the dining tent and being raised up, both have the most stunning views out across the wilderness. A fireplace deck has also been added in front of the Library tent; this is an ideal spot for sun-downer drinks and a chat about the adventures of the day.

Accommodation at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara is the epitome of safari elegance—luxurious, secluded, and seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The camp features a small number of spacious, beautifully designed canvas tents that offer the romance of classic safari living with all the comforts of a boutique hotel.

Each tent is set on a raised wooden platform with expansive private decks that open onto uninterrupted views of the Naboisho Conservancy. Inside, the décor blends timeless safari style with contemporary touches—think neutral tones, rich wood accents, and thoughtfully curated furnishings that reflect East African heritage. Flowing fabrics, plush rugs, and king-sized beds with crisp linens create an atmosphere of understated luxury.

En-suite bathrooms are generously sized and feature solar-powered hot showers, flushing toilets, double vanities, and eco-friendly toiletries. Some suites include separate lounge areas, writing desks, and even private dining spaces, making them ideal for honeymooners or families. With attentive but discreet service, in-room charging points, and thoughtful extras like hot water bottles for cool evenings, Ol Seki offers a refined yet authentic bush living experience.

Nina Tent

These tents are ideal for couples. The high dome centres over a double bed decked out in fine linens. Six opening panels encompass the bed on three sides which mean that from the comfort of your pillow, you can watch the dawn break in panorama. The rear section of the tent houses your ensuite bathroom and dressing area and in front of the tent is a large wooden deck where you can enjoy private dining, sunbathing and star gazing. The tents are huge and beautiful and you’ll forget that there are any other structures nearby, so well hidden is each tent.

Simba Suite

The Simba Suite is a self contained pent-house in the bush with a private driveway. Complete with kitchen, dining room, living area which connects two enormous double bedrooms, both ensuite, you could house your family here while on safari or just sprawl out in the extensive luxury of a private suite all by yourself. There’s a fully stocked bar and fridge and you can decide the level of service you require - we can provide a tent attendant to be present at all times to cook, pour your drinks and make coffee or we can make your staff invisible and give you the freedom to help yourself to the amenities. The expansive deck can house the telescope at night so you can admire the galaxy or during the day its linen sofa-bed is the ideal place to lounge and flick through the wildlife guide books or the historical photographic books to be found on the bookshelf in your suite. This is ultimate privacy - you need not meet another guest at Ol Seki, unless you’d like to.

Chui Suite

This suite offers greater individual privacy than the Simba suite as the two ensuite double bedrooms are separated from the central living space. The main area between the bedroom tents houses the kitchen, lounge and dining room. The three distinct structures are connected by wooden boardwalks. This means that if other members of your party want to stay up late in the private bar, you can retire to the quiet seclusion of your room next door with a comfortable distance between you and the hub of activity. This suite is ideal for families or friends travelling together who would also like some privacy within the group.

Watamu – meaning “home of the sweet people” in Swahili – is a small village on the Kenyan coast approximately 120kms north of Mombasa – Kenya’s second largest city. It is also 20kms south of Malindi – Vasco de Gama’s first landing point on the coast of East Africa. Watamu’s shoreline features pristine white sand beaches and offshore coral formations arranged in different bays and sheltered by a reef. The area is protected as part of the Watamu Marine National Park and is considered one of the best snorkeling and diving areas on the coast of Africa. The Marine Park is renowned worldwide for its natural beauty and boasts a diverse marine life from the visiting whale sharks and manta rays to three species of sea turtle.

The Swahili culture of the coast is an exotic mix of Omani, Portuguese and Bantu influences. Built on trade, the coastal town of Watamu was once an outpost for ivory, slaves, spices and shells. Local people are predominantly fishermen and farmers and the coast is rich in exotic fruit and sisal plantations. There is a languid pace to life here, quite different to the hectic rush of Nairobi. Middle Eastern influences are more apparent at the coast in the architecture and religion and both Malindi and Watamu have elements of an Italian feel with great pizzerias and delicious gelato available.
