Ikeliani Tented Camp

 

Ilkeliani (pronounced eel-kelly-ahni) is a eco-friendly permanent tented camp, centrally located in the Masai Mara. Camp environs have been intentionally preserved so as to feel as close as possible to nature.
Ilkeliani is the name given to the age group of the young Maasai warrior. The young warrior is thus an ilkeliani before he becomes the il Moran.

• Ilkeliani has twelve tents with each guest tent positioned on the edge of the Talek River looking out onto the Masai Mara plains.
• Ilkeliani was built with every effort to preserve the fragile eco-system. Hot water showers are made possible by the burning of chardust or briquettes made from coffee husks which also burn twice as long as normal charcoal. Ilkeliani, Masai Mara will thus remain small in size with only twelve tents to ensure that the eco-system remains in as natural and renewable state as possible.
• Ilkeliani Camp environs have been left as almost as natural as the camp builders found it. They have no paved pathways but instead raised earth provide grassy pathways. Lighting in guest tents is provided by solar power.
