The Perfect Masai Mara Safari Camp On The Banks Of The Sand River, Brought To You By The Elewana Collection

Elewana Sand River Masai Mara is an upmarket luxurious option located within the Masai Mara National Reserve. The perfect safari camp option for those looking for a more classic tented safari experience deep in the heart of Kenya's most famed park.

The safari camp overlooks the Sand River, the endless plains and the grassy hills of the Masai Mara. Year-round wildlife sightings are nothing short of excellent but should one wish to view the annual migration, the months of August, September, and October is best (the camp lies on the northerly route of the great migration).

Elewana Sand River is divided into two separate camps for a more intimate and private experience; each camp offers up its own designated dining and public areas.

The Elewana Sand River Masai Mara is the perfect place to experience the beauty of Africa, Kenya and the Masai Mara.
