Bush Camping
What is bush camping?
Sleeping in the wild on a mobile bush camping safari, with nothing but a canvas tent between you and the African wilderness, may not be for everyone, but it makes for a fully immersive experience in the bush, away from the crowds.
If you are the fun, adventurous type and you want to get back to nature for a little while, Mara Explorers has a unique and authentic safari experience for you. Without any fences or boundaries you can camp in relative comfort deep in the untouched wilderness and away from civilisation.
Unlike a permanent camp or lodge, a mobile bush camp is temporary. The camp is set up in a secluded area just for your group and when you move on after a few nights, the whole camp is taken down again and no trace left behind. Because of the temporary nature of a mobile bush camp, it doesn’t have all the conveniences of a permanent camp, like wifi and flush toilets, but what it does offer is a very ‘close to nature’ bush experience.

Inès2025-12-01We had such a wonderful stay! The container was spotless, very comfy, and exactly as described — even better in person. The location was perfect, close to the safar and quiet to relax and hear animals. Moses was incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay, making everything smooth. I really appreciated the small details and the warm hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting for the safari!
Taru2025-11-16This was my third time bringing different friends and family to the Pink Container, and once again we had an unforgettable trip! I cannot imagine a better way to experience Masaai Mara. Huge thank you to Moses, Laura, Mike (our guide), and to the rest of the staff!
Tara2025-10-05My stay at The Pink Container, Maasai Mara was pure magic! I wanted to travel independently (not on a package tour) and found this gem on Airbnb — best decision ever. Moses and Laura are warm, thoughtful hosts who care deeply about sustainability. The cozy container had everything — rainwater, fresh farm milk, eggs, and a self-sufficient kitchen. Moses welcomed us like family and even took us to a private sunset viewpoint. Our safari guide, Mike, was phenomenal — we saw the Big Five, over 40 lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and more! His knowledge and driving skills were unmatched. The area felt peaceful, safe, and filled with countryside charm — cows, goats, birds, and the sweetest Maasai night guard, Josephat. I left with a full heart and unforgettable memories. If it’s available, book it right away — it’s not just a stay, it’s a soulful experience. 🌿❤️ I would love to stay in touch with them! They are like family now!
Shashwat2025-09-28We had an incredible experience at the Pink Container. Moses and the Kobi Farm family made us feel right at home, in the midst of wilderness. The container is well-equipped, the outside patio and surroundings are beautiful. We had a great time at the observation deck spotting the drifting wildlife. Also, pretty amazing waking up to lion grunts and hyena calls in the middle of the night.The game drives were exhilarating and very convenient too. We opted for the catered meals - they were delicious and hearty. Highly recommend it. Everybody at the farm was really warm and fun to talk to. They went above and beyond to make it our home during our stay. We left with a lot of fond memories. If this place is available for your dates, don’t think twice. I can’t imagine any other place providing a comparable experience. Shoutout to the Kobi Farm family for making it unique and special.
Kyothu2025-09-13We had a wonderful stay in Sekenani! The property was comfortable and perfectly located for exploring the Masai Mara, but what truly made our experience exceptional was our host. He was incredibly professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From the moment we booked, he helped us organize our tours and made all the arrangements stress-free. Thanks to our guide Mike that Moses organized for us, we were able to enjoy an unforgettable safari experience. It was a once in a lifetime memory for us. We felt very well taken care of.
Ryan2025-09-10One of my best Airbnb experiences ever! Moses is such an amazing host he truly made us feel right at home. He even took us around his farm and went the extra mile in every way. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave!Special shoutout to Gideon, Cactus, Mike (our awesome game drive guide), and of course the sweetest dogs - OJ, Chrome, Snowman, and little Dikdik 🐶. They all made our stay unforgettable.If this place is available, don’t think twice just book it! I’m convinced even 5-star hotels can’t match the kind of warmth, care, and hospitality Moses offers. Thank you again, Moses, for everything 🙏 Masai Mara got even better because of our decision to stay here
Sarah2025-08-17We had an amazing stay at the Pink Container! Moses was incredibly helpful from the time we booked, up until each day of our stay. I had a bunch of questions which he was happy to answer. We opted for the catered meals per day and Moses accommodated our dietary restrictions graciously! He is an amazing chef and gave us 3 course meals during our stay. My birthday happened to be on one of the days of our stay and Moses and Laura surprised me with a homemade cake and songs. It was really sweet! It was super interesting to learn more about life living off the grid from Moses and we appreciated our conversations with him.We also booked game drives through them and our guide Mike was awesome. We were able to see a variety of animals in a short amount of time and learned a lot about the Maasai culture from him. During our stay we also heard hyenas and lions at night. The stars outside on a clear night were breathtaking. On our last day, we were even visited by zebras!
Gianna2025-08-15Moses e Laura sono persone davvero amichevoli e disponibili: è stato un vero piacere essere loro ospiti. La struttura è semplice ma curata, sempre ben tenuta e con host attenti ad ogni necessità. Non aspettatevi il lusso, ma un ambiente autentico e accogliente.Consiglio vivamente di scegliere questa struttura soprattutto per i Safari: Rono è una guida-autista eccezionale, preparata e appassionata, che rende l’esperienza davvero indimenticabile.
Gael2025-08-12Moses a été très accueillant, d’excellente humeur et drôle et de bon conseil. Nous avions des produits de base à disposition (et des chamallows à faire griller au feu allumé chaque soir dehors!) / nous sommes passés par lui pour notre transfert de et vers Nairobi ainsi que pour nos safaris et nous n’avons pas été déçus = notre chauffeur/guide John a été très sympa et patient et les deux jours dans le parc ont été merveilleux(le container est à environ 20/30mn de l’entrée du Masai marai). Pour information nous étions 4 adultes et 2 enfants de 4 et 7 ans (2 adultes dormaient dans la tente très confortable et les autres se partageaient entre le lit et le grand canapé ). Le + du container : entendre les lions rugir tous les soirs, voir des animaux proches de l’enclos (en toute sécurité ) . En bref souvenirs incroyables et tarifs très compétitifs pour l’hébergement et les activités ! Nous recommandons fortement cette maison !!!
Shilpa2025-08-04If this place is available- BOOK IT NOW. you will be lucky to experience this place!we decided to stay here to save money on Masai mara safari by travelling by public transport and taking a tour from here. turns out, the experience was way more than we anticipated.the pink container is extremely cosy and has everything you need. make sure you add catering, moses and the team made delicious and nutritious meals with ingredients grown on the farm itself which was super special.they arranged a safari for us with Rono and he was an amazing guide. a private safari to the Masai mara (for cheaper than a budget group tour from Nairobi) is the stuff of dreams!and best of all was Moses, a wonderful, friendly and chatty host. it felt like staying with a friend! he took us to his sunset viewing platform, chatted with us and did everything he could to help only regret is not staying longer100% recommend
