Sand River Camp

Sand River Mara Camp is luxurious and very well positioned. Exceptional game and migration viewing on the border of the Serengeti and Masai Mara. A Masai Mara safari is synonymous with a holiday to legendary Sand River Camp in this famous game reserve is all about exceptional game viewing. Witness the incredible annual migration from this luxurious and very well positioned safari camp on the border of Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara game reserves.

Sand River Masai Mara Camp is named after the picturesque Sand River on which it is built within the scintillating ecosystems of the Masai Mara. Everything about this luxury camp reflects those glorious safari days of the 1930s when decadence in nature was the theme – so safari décor here is about antiques, mirrors, leather, quality linens, velvet chairs and ornate light fittings.

We love the 16 canvas suites at Sand River Mara Camp – so well spread out you feel completely alone in the wilderness, nestling in lush grasslands with the river before your private deck. Dine in the central dining tent complete with a formal seating arrangement as wild animals pass by and sip a cocktail as the sun sets into the horizon. 

This is a remote Mara camp on the edge of Tanzania where the Great Migration passes and where you can be off the beaten track of the general Masai Mara hubbub. You are here for the wildlife for the big cats, the abundant plains game and the elephants so make the best of this rich wildlife experience and take time to soak it all in at Sand River Masai Mara. 

If you are a safari junkie, then make sure that the Sand River Camp on the borders of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti is your go-to safari destination next time you travel to Africa.  Enjoy enormous prides of lions and then the solitary leopards and family groups of cheetahs too – lying in wait in golden grasslands for the herds of zebra, giraffe, buffalo, kudu and more that peruse the area in search of water and grazing.

Your safari tour to the Elewana Sand River Masai Mara Camp is best secured for August when the annual Great Migration stampedes through this area in a dramatic few months of millions of hooves, big cats and crocs lying in wait and dust up in the air. 

Stay in one of 16 luxury tented suites at Sand River Mara Camp spread out along the river with plenty of space and solitude and everything you need. 

Setting off on safari every morning is a thrill you will never forget and the best part is the passionate and knowledgeable guide that accompanies you on your mission to learn more about this spectacular ecosystem and its wild inhabitants. 

This is the Elewana Collection, and the Sand River Masai Mara Camp is one of the best situated and best managed safari destinations between Kenya and Tanzania that you could possibly find.
