## Details

## Why Stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp?

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.

## Where Is Sarova Mara Game Camp & What Wildlife Can You See?

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.

## Rooms & Style

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.

## Who Is It Ideal For?

- First-time Mara visitors wanting an in-reserve base at fair value
- Families needing two-roomed tents, a children's pool and space
- Migration-season travellers prioritising time on the plains
- Groups blending game drives with Maasai cultural experiences
