Sokonoi Tented Camp

" I have just returned from a safari with Game Drivers ( on honeymoon). It was first rate, very personal & very friendly. Nigel, who's company it is, will also be your guide, he's a top guy and knows everything about everything you'll see or do. The camp set up is great and you'll really feel like you are out there in the middle of the wilderness - because you are. Very highly recommended." Former Client comment from Trip Advisor

The Game Drivers Sokonoi Camp is located on the Oropile Lugga (a seasonal river flowing out of the nearby Loita Hills) in the Maasai Mara. The camp provides a rare opportunity to experience a real bush safari camp. Click here for rates.

Our tents are very comfortable, spacious and along with double or twin beds each has its own verandah, full bathroom facilities (including flushing lavatories) and changing areas. The tents are carefully sited to ensure seclusion and that feeling that only comes from a real camp in real bush. Outside of your tent you have your own campfire. Although the camp is not fenced, it is patrolled at night by Maasai Askaris (watchmen) and the campfires and lights are kept burning from dusk to dawn.

Off the beaten-track Sokonoi Camp provides an exclusive base for day and night game viewing and a chance to meet the local Maasai.

Helping the Maasai Community help themselves: The Camp is located on Maasai land that is part of the Siana Wildlife Conservancy. All proceeds from concession and camp fees are used to help the local Maasai communities thereby giving them a valuable stake in Maasai Mara tourism.

Visits to the manyatta (Maasai village), bush walks with our Maasai hosts, the opportunity to purchase handmade crafts and be present at an authentic tribal dance are all part of the camp experience.

Home-cooking: Wherever you go on your Game Drivers Safari, we pride ourselves with our ability to serve you beautifully prepared, home cooked food using the finest local ingredients. The dining experience at Sokonoi is no exception.

Maasai Mara experiences

Our camp chef is adept at preparing a wide variety of international cuisine, much of which is cooked in our 'bush oven' where bread is also baked daily. We place particular importance on providing fresh produce and tropical fruit. Other refreshments are available throughout the day. We are also used to catering to those with special dietary requirements.
