If you are looking to experience a vacation with a difference and experience the beauty of the Maasai landscape surrounded by nature and wildlife, then Osero camp is the place to visit. This 25 bed personal tented camp lays in the heart of the Maasai community away from the noisy and stressful environments of the city making it the ideal place for recreation and relaxation. Osero Camp derives its
name from the Maasai language translated to mean bush. ORIGIN
The Couple Hagström together with New Life Mission have worked within this area for over 20 years in various projects, with focus on Children’s education, protecting young girls from early marriage, rehabilitations of street boys, feeding program in the district, water shallow wells, drip irrigation and farming. New life mission is a non-governmental organization based in Ongata Rongai and Mashuru working to improve the living standards of people.

Osero Camp gives you the opportunity to stay and experience this work, the nature and the Maasai community. ACCOMMODATION
