The Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Nestled at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment and on the
north west boundary of Kenya's famous Maasai Mara National
Reserve, on a beautiful forested bend of the majestic Mara
River, is one of Kenya's smallest and most charming tented
lodges.
The resident Hippo of Mara River Camp have long ruled out any
possibility of a swimming pool, while roaming herds of bull
Elephant have also put an end to any exotic gardens. However the
indigenous shrubs are plentiful and the surrounding trees house
many beautiful birds. Only a few kilometres downstream the
annual migration of the Wildebeest and attendant Zebra and
antelope may be in full flow, as they run the gauntlet of the
dangers of the Mara River.
Mara River Camp is favoured by naturalists, wildlife
researchers, film crews, photographers and conservationists.
Resident guides are always available for informative nature and
bird walks. Being of Maasai origin they delight guests with
fascinating insight to Maasai culture. The cuisine is delicious
and wholesome, the staff and management are exceptionally
friendly and the canvas tents have all the authenticity of being
'in the bush' whilst providing all the luxurious facilities for
a most comfortable stay. We are lucky to have been blessed with
many charming aspects, as one of the original lodges in
the area we have had years to perfect our winning combination of
comfort in the heart of nature.
