Where Wildlife, Comfort, and Adventure Meet
Sarova Mara Game Camp offers luxury tented safari accommodation in the Masai Mara, with private decks, pool, restaurant, and activities like game drives, wellness, and cultural experiences.
Sarova Mara Game Camp is a classic tented camp set inside the Masai Mara National Reserve, a short drive from the Sekenani Gate. Streams, indigenous trees and a scenic fish pond thread through the grounds, and the combination of authentic canvas accommodation, a pool and family-friendly facilities at accessible rates has made it one of the Mara's enduring favourites.
The camp's position inside the reserve puts guests minutes from wildlife-rich plains rather than hours, with the Big Five, resident big cats and, from July to October, the Great Wildebeest Migration all within game-drive range. Access is by road from Nairobi in around 5 to 6 hours through Narok, or by scheduled flight from Wilson Airport to nearby Mara airstrips. Hot air balloon safaris, bush walks and Maasai village visits round out the activity list.
Accommodation is in spacious canvas tents on private wooden decks: Mara Deluxe Tents for couples, larger Club Tents with lounge space, and two-roomed Family Tents sharing a central lounge. Dining moves between the Isokon restaurant, boma dinners and bush breakfasts on the plains. Electric vehicle charging, conference and event facilities and a well-provisioned camp make longer stays, incentive groups and bush celebrations straightforward to arrange.
Plan the wider trip with our Masai Mara National Reserve guide, or book the camp within the 5-day midrange Kenya safari.
Spacious canvas tents with en‑suite bathroom, large wooden deck, tea/coffee facilities, and views over gardens or bushland. Comfortably furnished for couples or solo travellers.
Premium tent category with extra space, lounge area, mini‑bar on request, plush furnishings, and a larger deck — ideal for guests seeking elevated comfort and views.
Two‑roomed tent accommodation with a shared lounge space, ideal for families or groups, with en‑suite bathrooms and generous indoor/outdoor areas.
