Basecamp offers a variety of adventures that differ from the streamlined safari experience. Our activity range goes from classic jeep safaris to modern programmes on the Cheetah research. Many of our adventures are performed on foot in the beautiful surroundings of the Masai Mara game reserve. Our hosts, the Maasai, will give you real life experience and a deeper understanding of the Mara, its culture and wildlife. Take the challenge and allow the new and the unknown to seduce you as you travel. Prepare to meet the wild and the beautiful Africa, the Maasai and the rolling grass of the savannah...
