    Nicely appointed boutique camp. It's not inside Mara Conservancy, but not that far too. Location on the river is great

    We had a great time at Mara River Camp and I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The camp has luxurious tents right on the Mara River - hippos, crocodiles and giraffes - to name just a few - can be observed right from your own terrace. But...
