Miti Mingi Eco Camp

Miti Mingi Eco Camp is a simple tented camp in Narok County, outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve, about half an hour’s drive from a park gate and next to a Maasai village. Its value lies in its location: it offers an affordable base for travellers who plan to spend their days out on game drives in the Mara, one of Africa’s best wildlife areas, known for its big cats and, in season, the wildebeest migration. Accommodation is in fixed tents with mosquito nets and showers, and meals are taken together in a communal dining area, with a bar for drinks in the evening. The camp is rustic and no frills, with electricity available in the evening and overnight rather than all day, so it is best approached as a budget camping experience rather than a lodge. Being beside a Maasai community gives a sense of local life on the edge of the reserve. Miti Mingi suits budget conscious travellers, young adventurers and groups who prioritise time in the park over comforts in camp.
