What to Expect
Emboo sits in the heart of the Maasai Mara Reserve, Kenya, where practical sustainability shapes every aspect of how the camp operates. This is Asilia’s newest property, joining the portfolio in December 2025 under a long-term lease agreement built on shared values and a commitment to genuine, measurable impact.
Emboo’s revamped main area is a classic Meru-style, open-sided tent tucked into the tree canopy. Inside, all is modern, with gorgeous new hardwood furnishings and a real sense of traditional safari with a touch of class. The focus of the structure is clearly everything out there. You’ll dine at a long candle-lit table as hippos grunt in the river below, then gather around the camp fire, sharing stories and listening to local tales, or silently gazing at the stars.
Highlights
Tents hug the edge of the river, with wide front porches to take it all in. The structure is basic, with canvas ceilings and foldaway doors, and large mesh windows on three sides. At the heart of the space is your bed, fitted with quality linens and mosquito netting. There are a few rustic furniture pieces and some pretty handwoven rugs. Soft but very adequate lighting is supplied through solar panels, as is the hot water for the rain showers.
Birdwatching, bushcraft skills like fire-making, and visits to local Maasai villages are available. Guests can learn about medicinal plants, hear traditional stories around the fire, and see how Maasai women construct their homes. Hot air balloon safaris over the savanna are also on offer.
