About Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp
- Eight standard tents plus two family villas, Simba and Chui, sit on the escarpment; the villas join two tents each.

History
Ol Seki was established in 2005 on a rocky escarpment in the community-owned Naboisho Conservancy, which borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya's Narok County. Built to blend into its surroundings, the camp overlooks the Isupukiai River valley with 270-degree views across the plains.
It was acquired in 2011 by the Hemingways hotel group, becoming Hemingways Ol Seki Mara. The camp added a fire-pit and infinity pool ahead of a 2019 re-opening and today comprises ten tents, including two private family villas.
