Plan the journey

Location & arrival

The setting

Along Sand River in the southern Maasai Mara National Reserve, close to the Tanzanian border. Riverine trees, rocky banks and open plains frame the camp. Sand River and Little Sand River are adjoining areas of this property, each with its own dining and shared guest spaces; they are not separate properties added to the inventory.

Gate & airstrip access

Fly-in arrival: Keekorok Airstrip is the designated arrival point. Arrange the onward camp transfer with the flight itinerary. Flights and airstrip transfers are extra to the full-board starting amount.

Road arrival: This is a southern Reserve stay. Plan the appropriate public entry gate and internal Reserve route with the driver for the actual departure point, road conditions and booked itinerary. No numerical journey time or nearest-gate claim is given here.

Reserve entry: Visitor, vehicle and applicable landing charges need to be included in the written itinerary. Allow for the arrival and departure arrangements when calculating compulsory charges.
