Elewana Sand River Mara is positioned along the banks of the river that inspired its name, within the Masai Mara National Reserve, near the Tanzanian border. This secluded and picturesque location captures the essence of the exclusive permanent tented camps of the late 1920s.
The camp’s interior design and furnishings are thoughtfully curated to reflect this golden era, evoking memories of countless Hollywood films that celebrated the romance and adventure of African safaris.
Sand River Masai Mara is a premier destination year-round for those seeking exceptional wildlife experiences. Renowned for its high concentrations of big cats—such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs—the reserve offers unparalleled game viewing. The dramatic spectacle of the Annual Migration further enhances the already rich array of resident wildlife, waiting to be discovered.
