Mara Crossing Camp

Known to have one of the most ideal locations along the well-known Mara River for viewing the famous Great Migration in July and September, the Mara Crossing Camp is a very popular choice of safari destinations. The camp offers luxury tented accommodations and public areas blended with African decor and local design. Add in the excitement of watching animals roam along the river throughout the day, a chance to relax around a crackling bonfire or simply enjoy an African sunset from your tranquil deck and you are assured of an unforgettable safari experience.

Meals can be enjoyed at a communal dining table in a cozy dining tent or around a bonfire under the stars. Guests can choose to relax in the lounge with large sofas offering the ultimate comfort and scattered African rugs covering the wooden floors below. Why not enjoy a drink at the end of an adventurous day, at the bar or out on the deck of the main area, or in your private tent? How about a massage in between game drives? The eight luxury tents are situated along the Mara River, with captivating views from your intimate space in the African bush.
