About This Lodge

Sarova Mara Game Camp is a large, tented property situated within the Masai Mara National Reserve. It sits on a gentle rise, with two small streams creating an oasis of greenery within the open plains. The camp offers a full-service resort experience combined with a prime safari location.

The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, providing a wide range of facilities beyond the standard game drives. Its central position is ideal for travelers who want immediate access to the reserve’s core areas, especially during the annual migration.

Location & Setting

The camp is positioned deep within the reserve, only 2.5 kilometers from the Sekenani Gate. This central location guarantees direct access to the main wildlife viewing circuits.

The campgrounds are situated on an elevated site, featuring manicured lawns, indigenous trees, and two streams that feed a large fish pond. Guests can arrive either by a 5-6 hour road trip from Nairobi or a short flight to the Keekorok Airstrip.

Accommodation

Sarova Mara features 75 canvas tents, each built on a solid foundation with a permanent roof. The tents are divided into Standard, Deluxe, and Club categories, as well as spacious Family Suites.

All tents include comfortable bedding, writing desks, and modern en-suite bathrooms with hot running water. The accommodation is spread across the grounds, providing a sense of space and privacy for all guests. Club Tents offer enhanced room size and private dining decks.

Facilities & Experiences

The Isokon Restaurant serves meals prepared with ingredients from the camp’s own organic vegetable garden. The Oloip Bar and poolside bar offer evening relaxation.

Additional facilities include a free-form swimming pool, the Tulia Wellness spa, and a dedicated club for children. The camp is enclosed by a 24-hour perimeter fence for safety.
