Mara River Camp is 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. This is one of Kenya’s smallest and most charming tented lodges.

Mara River Lodge commands one of most spectacular views in the Serengeti- Mara ecosystem; the lodge lies on the Mara River at the edge of Maasai Mara Game Reserve and overlooks deep pools where crocodiles and hippos bask all day. Painted in traditional Maasai red ochre and lit by hundreds of lanterns, the lodge makes an immediate impression of the local surroundings. Guests are met by Maasai warriors in full regalia. The lodge is surrounded by indigenous trees and plants and it blends with the environment combining the best of nature. After a hot day’s safari, your cosy room awaits providing you with a hot shower and comfortable bed with the finest in the Mara. Guests can see hippos across the river from their table as they sit down for the meals prepared by our international chefs. At all times, families of hippos spend their days basking in the deep pools below the bars and restaurant.

​The View Point Bar and rest area offers a spectacular view of the Mara river and the animals. Mara River Lodge has 78 en-suite rooms and two deluxe suites of two bedrooms each having views of the Mara River from the veranda. The rooms are decorated in vibrant Maasai colors with bright fabrics and rugs. Timber beams support the thatched roof that keep the rooms warm in the cold Mara weather.
