Mara River Camp

Nestled in the heart of the Northern Serengeti, Mara River Camp boasts a location second to none. Just a mere 10 minutes from the legendary Mara River, this charming small camp offers guests an unparalleled proximity to nature’s most mesmerizing spectacles.

The river itself is famed as the backdrop to the dramatic annual wildebeest migration crossings, an event that has captured the imagination of many. But it’s not just the migration that makes this location special; the rich tapestry of wildlife, from majestic lions to graceful gazelles, is a constant presence.

At Mara River Camp, the sounds of the wild beckon at your doorstep, and the vastness of the Serengeti unfolds before your very eyes. The strategic location ensures that guests are always at the heart of the action, with minimal transit times to key viewing spots. Yet, amidst all this wilderness, the camp offers comfort, serenity, and a deep connection with nature. Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or a first-timer, Mara River Camp promises an experience that’s both intimate and awe-inspiring. Welcome to the rhythm of the Serengeti, welcome to Mara River Camp.

Your stay at Mara River Camp is on a full board basis including game viewing activities in special safari vehicles with expert trained guides.

Your days will be spent exploring the area in special open air game viewing 4 x 4 vehicles with tiered seating, and (when in season) following the Great Migration and the predators which accompany it. If there are river crossings you’ll be right near to the action!

Other activities on offer include bush breakfasts and dinners to enjoy the golden and red hues, sundowners around the campfire with tall tales of safari encounters!

Or soar above the Serengeti Plains on one of our favourite journeys – a hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne bush breakfast – incredible once in a lifetime experience!

With a final early morning game drive before your flight back to Arusha.

A long weekend of pure wildlife and wilderness heaven!
