Grand Mara Camp

The Grand Mara Camp in the northern Serengeti is ideally located in the Lamai area, a very special and secluded section of habitat just north of the famous Mara river. The camp consist of 8 guest tents that are well appointed and spacious for two – though big enough for a family of four if needed.

Being in the Lamai area, we’re far from the other camps and crowds on the south side of the Mara river. Moreover, the Grand Mara camp is the furthest camp in the northwestern camp in the Serengeti – just a couple miles from the Kenya border and the Maasai Mara. Our location provides easy access to the greatest show on earth: the Great Migration river crossings, and the wildlife and beauty of the open savanna. Amazing landscapes and divers wildlife sightings provide non-stop adventure and photographic opportunities.

The Great Migration is a perilous journey – with predators every step of the way – and these river crossings are famous one of the most dramatic threats they encounter; giant crocodiles. While viewing the Great Migration river crossings take center stage, the diversity of wildlife in the area is in itself nothing short of spectacular, with all the big cats, elephant, giraffe and plains game… it’s all there!

Details

With quick access to the Mara river, we're on patrol daily looking for imminent migration crossings. We also cover a wide range of habitats away from the river on our game drives, exploring new places and experiencing wild encounters with a variety of wildlife. The opportunities abound, but you never know what or where - that's one of the exciting aspects of being on safari; what's just around the corner or over the horizon.

We will concentrate our game drives early and late in the day - but when exciting things are happening we stay flexible. Evenings around camp are a pleasure and an opportunity to download your images and charge your camera batteries.
