The Safari Camp of the Future
Set in the heart of the Maasai Mara, Emboo is where the untamed wilderness meets modern sustainability. Here, the call of the wild, the richness of Maasai culture, and the flavors of farm-fresh cuisine come together – all seamlessly powered by eco-friendly innovation.
Emboo brings you the best of both worlds: the raw beauty of nature combined with effortless comfort. Picture silent electric safaris under the African sky, shared stories around a flickering fire, and experiences that linger long after you leave.
At Emboo, life is about adventure, connection, and caring for our planet – naturally.
Unparalleled Location
Emboo sits at the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, a breathtaking 1,510 square-kilometer (580 square-mile) expanse teeming with wildlife. The reserve is surrounded by conservancies, creating an even greater sanctuary for animals to roam freely.
Step into a world where nature is right at your doorstep – literally. Wildlife moves around and even within the camp, and your safari begins the moment you hop into one of our fully electric vehicles. From regal lions and elusive leopards to towering giraffes, herds on the move during the Great Migration, and even the smallest, most fascinating creatures – every moment is a spectacle.
River Suites: Luxury in the Wild
Tucked among trees and overlooking the river, Emboo’s brand-new River Suites offer an immersive experience of the Mara’s untamed beauty. Designed with nature in mind, the interiors reflect the earthy hues of the landscape, with vibrant pops of colour inspired by the Lilac Breasted Roller.
Unwind on your private deck as the river flows gently beneath you. Wake up to the melodies of birds and golden sunrise over the savanna. As night falls, listen to the distant roar of lions and the chuckles of hyenas – wildlife moves freely around Emboo, and it’s not uncommon to spot hippos grazing nearby under the moonlight.
Each suite is crafted with locally sourced materials, handmade furnishings, and luxurious touches, offering the perfect blend of indulgence and nature. Whether you’re soaking in a rain shower with river views or curling up in bed, this is The Wild Side of Luxury.
Wildlife Wonders
With a prime location in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Emboo offers unparalleled access to Africa’s most spectacular wildlife. From the iconic Big Five to Emboo’s very own Big 20, the endless Great Migration herds, and thousands of other species, every game drive is an unforgettable experience.
Glide effortlessly across the savanna in our electric Land Rovers and Land Cruisers, spot your favorite animals, and experience nature in its purest form. Venture out on foot for an intimate walk through the Mara, then drift off to sleep to the soundtrack of the wild. Plus, by partnering with conservation efforts like the Mara Elephant Project, Emboo is ensuring that these incredible creatures and their habitats continue to thrive.
