The Opportunity

Project Mara Horizon presents a rare opportunity to acquire a newly completed boutique hospitality asset on a five-acre leasehold in the Maasai Mara ecosystem.

Designed as an intimate safari retreat, the property combines contemporary architecture with authentic safari living and is offered fully furnished, providing a platform for immediate operation while retaining meaningful scope for future expansion.

It may suit a boutique hospitality operator, tour company, private investor or family seeking a distinctive safari asset without undertaking the lengthy process of securing land, developing infrastructure and completing construction from the ground up.

Project Mara Investment Highlights

• Five-acre leasehold property
• Newly completed boutique safari development
• Five bedrooms across three villas
• Fully furnished and equipped
• Dedicated dining pavilion and traditional boma
• Solar-powered infrastructure
• Staff accommodation and guest parking
• Immediate operational capability
• Expansion potential, including additional river frontage, subject to approvals

Why This Opportunity?

Creating a safari camp in the Maasai Mara is a journey measured in years rather than months. Securing land, negotiating lease terms, obtaining approvals, establishing utilities and infrastructure, completing construction and furnishing the property all require significant time, expertise and capital.

Project Mara Horizon offers the opportunity to bypass much of that process. The next owner acquires a completed, furnished hospitality asset and can focus on operations, branding and future growth.

The Property

Occupying approximately five acres, the camp has been planned to create privacy, comfort and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Contemporary architecture, natural timber detailing and expansive glazing create accommodation that feels modern while remaining unmistakably rooted in its safari setting.

The existing layout also leaves room for thoughtful future development.

Accommodation

Two Family Villas

Each villa comprises two spacious ensuite bedrooms, an open-plan lounge and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, covered veranda and large picture windows overlooking the surrounding landscape.

One Boutique Studio Villa

The third villa offers a spacious open-plan bedroom, sitting area, kitchenette, ensuite bathroom and private outdoor seating area.

Guest Facilities

• Dedicated dining pavilion
• Outdoor dining areas
• Traditional fire pit (boma)
• Landscaped pathways
• Solar power system
• Staff accommodation
• Guest parking

Expansion Potential

The property has been conceived as a platform that can grow alongside market demand while preserving its intimate boutique character.

Subject to the necessary approvals, future possibilities may include additional guest accommodation, riverfront experiences, wellness facilities, a swimming pool, viewing areas, an owner’s residence and expanded guest facilities.

Transaction Structure

The property may be acquired through an asset acquisition or, subject to the agreed transaction terms and due diligence, through acquisition of the newly incorporated operating company.

Further transaction information is available to qualified purchasers upon request.
