Set along the Njageteck River in the Mara North Conservancy, Hemingways River Camp Mara offers an intimate, under-canvas safari in one of the most wildlife-rich corners of the Greater Maasai Mara. Built by Richard Roberts, a third-generation conservationist, and his wife Liz, the camp was founded on a deep respect for nature, privacy, and personalised service, a legacy now continued under the Hemingways Collection.

With just eight tents, the camp blends intimacy with adventure. Six Luxury Tents capture the spirit of classic safari living, while one spacious Family Suite and one Private Suite provide added comfort with multiple bedrooms, private lounge areas, and dedicated staff, ideal for families or small groups. From your veranda, you may watch elephants at the springs or hear lions calling into the night.

Here, each day is yours, whether tracking big cats with expert guides, dining beneath the stars, or sharing stories by the fire. River Camp’s seclusion, warmth, and roots in this land make it safari as it was meant to be: unfiltered, personal, unforgettable.

WHY CHOOSE HEMINGWAYS RIVER CAMP MARA?

• This camp is also particularly known for its resident lion pride which can often been seen hunting right in front of the camp, and most always can be heard roaring during the night.
• The ‘Honeymooners’ tent is located a little while away from the rest of the camp therefore making it a bit more secluded and private.
• Scheduled light aircraft transfer to the nearest airstrip, Mara North Conservancy, from Nairobi’s Wilson domestic airport (1 hr 15 mins) and other locations in Kenya.
