Overview

Savannah Mara River Camp

Savannah Mara River Camp is a seasonal luxury tented camp positioned directly along the Mara River in the Masai Mara ecosystem of Kenya, operational during the peak Great Migration season from July through November. Spacious canvas tents with en-suite facilities and quality furnishings are set beneath mature riverine trees along the riverbank, with resident hippo pods and crocodiles visible from camp. Expert guides monitor multiple crossing points daily, tracking wildebeest herd movements to position guests for the spectacular Mara River crossings — the most dramatic and unpredictable chapter of the annual migration. Between crossings, the surrounding Mara plains deliver exceptional year-round wildlife: lion prides, cheetah families, elephant herds, and leopards in the riverine forest. The seasonal operation concentrates the camp's expertise on the peak migration months when the Mara River drama reaches its crescendo.
