Description

Sand River Masai Mara takes its name from the river on which it sits. Close to the border of the Serengeti National Park, and within the Masai Mara National Reserve, Sand River Masai Mara is surrounded by abundant game and lies on the northerly route of the spectacular Annual Migration.

Situated on a secluded and picturesque site, Sand River Masai Mara replicates the heyday of exclusive permanent tented camps of the late 1920’s.

The interior fixtures and furnishings at Sand River Masai Mara Camp mirror this period perfectly, reminding all who visit of those countless Hollywood movies that have paid homage to a classic era of African adventure.

An ideal destination, at any time of the year, for those wishing to enjoy exceptional game-viewing. The National Reserve is best known for its large concentrations of big cats, such as leopard, cheetah and, of course, lion. Even the dramatic arrival of the Annual Migration merely adds to an already abundant resident wildlife that awaits discovery. All this can be best experienced when staying  at Sand River Masai Mara camp.

This luxury camp comprises of 16-tented accommodations – including 1 family tent – each divided into two separate but adjoining campsites, with each area possessing its own designated dining and public areas, thereby creating an increased sense of exclusivity and privacy.
