Riverside Camp: Masai Mara

About Us and Our Location...

Riverside camp is Masai owned and managed under Kipeen and Everlyne Saiyalel. Kipeen is the ex chief of the purko masai and Everlyne is the daughter of the now deceased paramount chief Lorionka ole Ntutu, together with their children you have a unique opportunity to learn more about Maa hierarchy and culture.

Riverside is situated right on the banks of the Talek River and next to the Masai Mara ‘ Talek Gate’ and is ideally placed for self drive or it can also be reached by bus, daily from Narok. The bus service leaves Narok at 3pm every day returning from Talek at 6pm.

Kipeen Saiyalel is also the chairman of the Olare Orok Conservancy; a protected area on the Northern boundary of the Mara Game Reserve. Kipeen was also one of the initiators of the Koiyaki Guiding School; a project to train young Masai secondary school leavers as professional safari guides.
