A refined, hotel-like game camp in the vast Maasai Mara National Reserve.
With splendid views across the Mara plains, Sarova Mara Game Camp gives you the classic safari experience with the comfort of a hotel-style residence. The camp is in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, home of the wildebeest migration from the Serengeti Plains. As the camp is fenced, this is a good choice for families. Honeymooners may consider upgrading to a Olchani Luxury Club Tent for access to a private pool, restaurant and the Olchani Club Lounge where you can benefit from personalised butler service, a table d'hôte menu and evening drinks and canapés.
Daily game drives offer fantastic wildlife viewing while back at camp there is plenty of opportunity to unwind, lazing by the pool or enjoying a massage at the Tulia wellness tent. Add an extra special element to your safari with a hot-air balloon ride across the plains and catch a bird’s eye view of the epic scenery as the sun rises.
Why we love Sarova Mara Game Camp
-
This award-winning camp provides a good value option, especially for families
-
A bush breakfast after an early-morning game drive or balloon safari out on the Mara plains, surrounded by wildlife is a special experience
-
The organic garden has been inspired by the Maasai people who possess a huge wealth of native plant knowledge
-
If you prefer to just sit and relax, the camp is perfect for that too. There's a freeform pool in shady gardens, table tennis and a lake for kayaking and catch-and-release fishing
Rooms
The camp is beautifully laid out, with 75 tents surrounded by indigenous trees and shrubs and built in harmony with the landscape. The tents are especially luxurious, with wooden flooring and four-poster beds complemented by African artwork and luxurious bathrooms. Olchani Luxury Club Tents offer a glamorous style of camping with four-poster king-size beds and a private deck and access to the Olchani Club Lounge, while the three Family Tents have a shared common lounge are perfect for larger parties. At night you can tuck yourself into the plush bed, warmed by the hot water bottle left with the turndown service.
Rich in earthy tones and wooden floors, each tent has a queen or twin beds.

Facilities
Meals are served in the Isokon restaurant, which is a beautiful wooden structure with an outdoor dining area, all lit by lanterns and decorated with Maasai art. High-end buffets feature a diverse range of Kenyan and international cuisine. Enjoy live cooking stations and fresh produce from the organic garden. Guests often end the day with spectacular sundowners, where a selection of drinks and snacks are served as you soak up the sunset, often accompanied by Maasai dancers.
What's Included
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner • Wi-Fi
Stop by the Tulia Spa for a signature bamboo massage, body polish or reflexology session.
Most guests spend their days exploring the Maasai Mara on game drives and you’ll often see prides of lions, cheetahs and all kinds of plains game. If you’ve come to watch the Great Migration, the wildlife viewing is particularly exciting and the river crossings aren’t far from camp so you can spend all day out in a 4×4 with a picnic lunch. At the camp, there is mini golf, table tennis, kayaking and archery. Guests can also join the chef for a tour of the organic garden.
Most staff hail from the local community and are supported with job training and funding for schools and medical clinics. The organic garden provides plenty of fresh produce for the meals.
