Mara River Camp is one of Northern Serengeti's most celebrated luxury addresses, a camp of genuine distinction built around the elemental drama of the Mara River and the extraordinary natural events that unfold on its banks each year. Few camps anywhere in Africa can match the theatrical power of Mara River Camp's setting during peak migration months. The camp's collection of luxury tents blends harmoniously with the riverine environment  shaded by ancient fig trees, overlooking the fast-flowing Mara, and furnished with refined elegance that feels entirely appropriate for this wild and powerful place. Premium beds, rainfall showers, handmade textiles, and perfectly positioned viewing terraces define the guest experience. Beyond the tented accommodation, Mara River Camp's programme of activities  private game drives, river walks, fly camping, and cultural visits — creates a multi-dimensional safari experience of exceptional depth. The camp's culinary programme matches the extraordinary setting.

"Perfection by the Mara River"

"Mara River Camp is in a league of its own. The setting under the fig trees, the sounds of the river, the fly camping experience it all combines to create something genuinely extraordinary. The guiding was the finest we have experienced in 12 years of African safaris."
