Sand River

About

Sand River exudes a timeless elegance, reminiscent of the classic safari camps from the 1920s. The camp’s design incorporates vintage-inspired decor, including leather furniture, oriental rugs, and campaign-style furnishings, offering a nostalgic nod to the golden age of exploration. Located along the Sand River, the camp provides a front-row seat to the dramatic wildlife spectacles of the Masai Mara, from herds of wildebeest crossing the river during the migration season to the predators that follow them. The camp’s all-inclusive offering ensures that guests enjoy gourmet dining, expertly guided game drives, and personalised service throughout their stay.

Rooms

Sand River features 16 luxurious tented suites, each beautifully appointed with handcrafted furnishings, hardwood floors, and large canopied beds draped in fine linens. Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and elegant touches, such as copper fittings and period-style accents. Outside, private verandas offer spectacular views of the surrounding plains and the Sand River, providing a peaceful retreat where guests can relax and observe wildlife in their natural habitat. The interiors capture the spirit of classic safari adventures while ensuring that modern comforts are at guests’ disposal.

Activity

At Sand River guests can immerse themselves in the rich wildlife and culture of the region through a variety of expertly guided activities. Game drives, offered twice daily, provide thrilling encounters with the abundant wildlife of the Masai Mara, including lions, elephants, leopards, and cheetahs. The camp’s location along the Sand River is particularly advantageous during the Great Migration, when massive herds of wildebeest and zebra traverse the plains, often followed by predators. For a different perspective, guests can embark on guided walking safaris, learning about the smaller fauna and flora of the savannah with the help of experienced guides.
