Overview

Set in one of the Serengeti’s most coveted locations, Mara Mara Tented Lodge offers front-row access to the most heart-pounding chapter of the Great Migration, the river crossings. Just a short drive from the Mara River, this elegant tented lodge blends clean-lined design with traditional African charm, creating a serene yet exhilarating safari base.

Prime Location for the Great Migration

Nestled beneath shady trees with romantic river views, the lodge is ideally positioned in the northern Serengeti, just 30 minutes from the Mara River. From June to October, witness the dramatic crossings as wildebeest and zebra brave crocodile-infested waters en route to the Masai Mara, a spectacle of survival and instinct.

Contemporary Safari Living

Each of the 15 spacious tents is designed for comfort and immersion:

  • King-size or twin beds with fine linens
  • En-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, basins, and hot showers
  • Solar-powered lighting with a backup generator for 24/7 power
  • Private verandas with sweeping views of the savannah

The lodge’s modern African aesthetic creates a fresh, cosy atmosphere that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature.

Game drives are the heartbeat of Mara Mara:

  • Early morning and late afternoon drives led by expert local guides

  • Spot cheetahs, wild dogs, giraffes, zebras, and more
  • Birdwatching paradise with excellent sightings year-round
  • Great Migration viewing from June onward, depending on rainfall
