Malaika Mara River Luxury Camp
A luxury tented camp on the banks of the Mara River in northern Serengeti, offering a front-row seat to the Great Migration's dramatic river crossings.
Settle into Malaika Mara River Luxury Camp
Malaika Mara River Luxury Camp sits in the northern Serengeti near Kichwa Tembo Junction (Woga Seven), about 25 km from Kogatende Airstrip and close to the Mara River crossing points. Established in September 2023, the camp offers 28 tents across four types: 18 Luxury Tents, 3 Family Luxury Tents, 6 Scenic View Tents, and 1 Family Scenic View Tent, all wheelchair accessible and available in single, double, triple, or family occupancy. The camp operates seasonally, open from July to October when vast herds of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River, often facing crocodiles and strong currents. Days here are shaped by wildlife crossings, wide-open northern plains, and a calm, secluded safari atmosphere.
