Singita Mara River Camp

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Platinum price level

Mango Opinion

This is a little slice of heaven for anyone who wants to visit the Northern Serengeti to experience the river crossings of the wildebeest migration in season. This permanent camp has an extremely light footprint but all the creature comforts and spoiling touches you could ask for. The camp is located on the North side of the river so the crossing can be challenging when the water is high.

Situated in the northern most tip of the Serengeti National Park, Singita Mara River Tented Camp offers guests the chance to spend time in this stunning yet remote area, with one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the Serengeti National Park. With endless views of the Mara River, and with the camp built to have a minimal impact on the environment to help preserve the integrity of this remarkably beautiful and delicate ecosystem. The design of the camp provides guests with an intense closeness to nature.

The camp accommodates up to 16 guests between 6 luxury tents. Two of these, known as the family tents, consist of two tents joined by a short covered walkway with shared deck. The tents are designed in a safari-elegance style incorporating lots of light and natural materials. Design features include en-suite outdoor bathrooms with a viewing section in the screen wall to allow for beautiful views from the soaking tub. In order to minimize the carbon footprint, the camp's facilities are all powered by elaborate solar-power systems. The function, aesthetic and natural setting are blended perfectly to create a striking and unique oasis of comfort amid the sweeping plains.

All normal safari activities can be tailored to suit families. There are many impressive creatures that can be seen on the plains, such as wildebeest, lions, giraffes and elephants. Other activities include swimming, walking safaris, and nighttime game drives with professional guides.
