Front-row to the Great Migration crossings

Set beside the iconic Mara River in the Kogatende/Lamai sector of Northern Serengeti, Mara River Camp puts you at the heart of one of nature’s greatest shows. From July–October, wildebeest herds funnel to the riverbanks, predators lie in wait, and every game drive holds the promise of drama—balanced by the comfort of a boutique tented camp.

Why Stay at Mara River Camp?

  • Unbeatable Migration access: Minutes from classic Mara River crossing points for prime viewing during peak season.

  • Luxury tented charm: Spacious canvas suites with en-suite bathrooms and private decks—authentic safari ambiance with modern comforts.

  • Expert guiding, small-camp feel: Personalized drives that follow the herds, big cats, and river life—away from the crowds whenever possible.

  • Picture-perfect setting: Hills, riverine woodland, and endless plains—sunsets and starry nights by the fire.
