About

**Newly Opened - Mara's first (and only!) backpacker paradise.**

While everyone else pays lodge prices, you'll wake up with epic savannah views from our hilltop perch just 5 minutes from Sekenani Gate. Wildlife literally walks past our fence - elephants, lions, the works.

Choose manyatta-style 6-bed dorms (traditional Maasai huts with individual pods) or upgrade to luxury safari tents. Both get the same million-dollar 180° panoramic views for a fraction of lodge rates.

**Why you'll love it:**
• Only hostel in the entire Masai Mara ecosystem
• Authentic accommodation with modern comfort
• Female-only dorm available (From 15th-July)
• Starlink Wi-Fi + pool with a view + co-working space in nature
• Shared game drives, sunset bonfires, instant travel family
• Lions roaring at dawn instead of traffic noise

This is what you came to Africa for - book before the secret gets out!

I cannot say enough good things about this hostel! The highlight of my time in Kenya. It’s a bit of a mission to get to, but the owner is incredibly helpful and can direct on the best approach. While there, met a lot of lovely travelers and could do group tours with them to lower costs. The motorbike safari was for sure the highlight. So unique. Food was delicious, room super clean (dorm lovely but also stayed a night in the tent and WOW! Really recommend to splurge), dog adorable, staff great!
