Rekero Camp
Rekero Camp is a permanent tented camp located on the banks of the Talek River in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Rekero Camp has an excellent location overlooking the Talek River not far from prime migration crossing points along the larger Mara River. The camp is very established, having been a well-known independent camp prior to joining the Asilia Africa portfolio, and offers a sophisticated bush experience. The tents are very comfortable, and food and service are good, yet the camp retains an authentic feel with game often wandering through camp, and your reason to choose the camp is primarily based on location, being in the heart of the migration action. One drawback of its location in the National Reserve are the number of other tourist vehicles you will encounter, especially at major sightings including migration ‘crossings’, but the excellent Rekero guides are adept at managing this as far as possible.
