Overview

Embark on a 3- to 5-day adventure deep in the heart of East Africa’s celebrated wilderness with your stay at the exquisite Mara Crossings Camp. Nestled on the banks of the famous Mara River within the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, this lodge places you at the front-row of one of nature’s most spectacular shows: the great migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. With the rush of the river and the rustle of savannah grasses as your backdrop, days begin with golden-sunrise game drives and end with fire-lit dinners beneath the stars, offering a true immersion into safari life.

Over your 3 to 5 days, you’ll experience the rhythm of the wild: dawn-to-dusk game drives, river-bank watches, optional hot-air balloon flights at dawn, and evenings of relaxation in sublime comfort. Whether you opt for a shorter 3-day burst of nature or a fuller 5-day stay allowing deeper exploration and rest, this is more than a hotel stay—it’s an all-encompassing safari getaway where luxury meets wilderness. The intimate size of the camp and its location beside the Mara River ensure both exclusivity and unsurpassed game-viewing opportunities.

About the Lodge & Tour Highlights

Lodge Details

• A luxury tented camp of eight suites (four double, four twin/triple) set right along the Mara River.

• Each tent is on a raised deck, with en-suite bathroom, private veranda and sweeping views of the riverbank.

• Elevated comfort blended with eco-sensitive design: think crisp linens, hot showers, WiFi, indoor fireplace/lounge areas, and seclusion in the wild.

Tour Highlights

Here are the key experiences you can expect:

• Early morning and late afternoon game drives in the Masai Mara ecosystem, offering sightings of the Big Five and high predator activity.

• Riverside wildlife watching: hippos, crocodiles, elephants and countless plains-game passing by your camp.

• Optional hot-air balloon over the game plains at dawn (weather permitting) followed by a bush breakfast.

• Guided nature walks and sundowner moments in the wild: slow down, take in the environment beyond the 4×4 experience.

• Cultural interaction opportunities: visit a local Maasai village to gain insight into traditional life and customs of the Maasai people.

• For 5-day stays especially: more time to explore lesser-visited corners of the reserve, rest at camp between outings, and soak in the tranquillity of the lodge setting.
