About Sarova Mara Game Camp
The quintessential Masai Mara safari: classic tented style, abundant wildlife, and warm Kenyan hospitality.
Sarova Mara Game Camp is perfectly positioned in the heart of Kenya’s legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, offering an immersive gateway to a spectacular wildlife ecosystem. The camp is set amidst rolling plains dotted with acacia trees and features streams that run through its grounds, creating an authentic safari atmosphere. This prime location places guests at the center of the action, with convenient access to premier game-viewing areas. The camp seamlessly blends into its natural environment, providing a tranquil and secluded base from which to explore the vast landscapes of the Mara.
The safari experience is defined by exceptional wildlife encounters. The reserve is globally renowned for the Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest and zebra cross the plains. Beyond this seasonal event, the Masai Mara offers rich game viewing year-round. Led by knowledgeable local guides, guests embark on game drives in search of the "Big Five"—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—along with cheetahs, giraffes, and diverse birdlife. These excursions provide intimate and respectful encounters with Africa’s iconic animals, bringing guests face-to-face with the untamed spirit of the wild.
Accommodation consists of spacious and elegantly appointed safari tents, connecting guests to the wilderness without forgoing modern comforts. Options range from Deluxe and Family Tents to exclusive Club Tents, which offer superior views and access to the private Olchani Club Lounge. Each tent is built on a permanent base with its own veranda, ideal for observing wildlife that occasionally wanders through the grounds. Inside, guests will find en-suite bathrooms and tasteful, locally inspired décor. Falling asleep under canvas to the sounds of the bush is a quintessential part of the authentic safari experience.
Culinary experiences at Sarova Mara are a distinct highlight. The Isokon Restaurant champions a farm-to-fork philosophy, using fresh ingredients harvested from the camp’s on-site organic garden. For a more intimate connection with the landscape, the lodge arranges special bush dining, from breakfasts on the savannah to memorable sundowner cocktails at scenic viewpoints. The camp’s bars also provide a relaxed setting to unwind with a drink and share stories of the day's adventures. This thoughtful approach to dining and relaxation provides a refined counterpoint to the wild adventure of safari, ensuring a holistic and satisfying stay.
