Staying at Mara River Camp

Private terraces and camp dining provide places to settle between wildlife outings. The starting amount concerns a Bush Tent; the photographs illustrate the distinct River Tent category. The referenced advance-booking accommodation basis is non-refundable and requires full prepayment. Reserve entry, vehicles, drives and transport are separate unless included in the selected service allowance. The wider planning context includes Maasai Mara accommodation, Mara flight connections and the safari cost guide.

Location & arrival

The setting

Beside the Mara River on the north-western boundary of the National Reserve, at the foot of the Oloololo Escarpment. The camp setting is separate from entry into the National Reserve. The correct sector, gate and access conditions follow the agreed safari route; no conservancy access is assumed from the postal address.

Gate & airstrip access

Kichwa Tembo is the named arrival airstrip. Airstrip and road transfers are separate services; the full-board room reference does not establish included transport. Flights are extra. No nearest-gate distance or fixed travel time is established.

Good to know

Families & children

Family accommodation includes a separate cabin, and the booking engine lists infant cot capacity in tent categories. Cot or extra-bed allocation, accepted rooming and child prices depend on ages and the selected configuration. Activity eligibility is separate. No general child discount or numeric admission age is established. Adults supervise children around the river, paths and any pool; staff safety guidance governs movement after dark.

Accessibility

Individual accessibility depends on tent approaches, outdoor paths, bathrooms, balance requirements and safari-vehicle boarding. A whole-property step-free specification is not established.

Rates & booking

Accommodation Only retains the selected room and meal basis. The advance-booking reference is non-refundable and requires full prepayment. Our private safaris include dedicated guiding, transport, scheduled park entry and compulsory selected-property charges for the party. Rooming and minimum stays are product-specific; a general refundable banner does not override this selected rate’s non-refundable terms.
