Mara River Post – Experience the Heart of the Serengeti with Moonlight Tours Expedition

Set in the northern Serengeti at Kogatende, along the iconic Mara River, Mara River Post offers one of the most captivating safari experiences in Africa. This remarkable location is celebrated for its exceptional biodiversity and its place in one of the world’s most iconic wildlife spectacles: the Great Migration. Between June and October, millions of wildebeest face the perilous Mara River crossing, where they battle the river’s currents and the jaws of lurking crocodiles. A constant stream of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, and a variety of predators, brings this landscape to life all year round, creating a thrilling safari experience like no other.

The Camp

Perched on a knoll with panoramic views of the Mara River and vast savannah, Mara River Post offers an unrivaled vantage point to witness nature’s raw drama. From the comfort of the camp, you can watch the wildebeest crossings, see elephants grazing nearby, or spot the occasional cheetah chasing after a gazelle. The stylish common areas are elevated on platforms to maximize your views of the spectacular surroundings, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the area.

The relaxed, intimate atmosphere and personalized service evoke the feeling of coming home, allowing you to unwind after an exciting day in the bush. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun on the sundeck, or simply enjoying the views, every moment at Mara River Post is designed for your comfort.

The Tents

With 16 luxurious canvas tents, Mara River Post offers an elegant yet immersive experience in the heart of the African wilderness. Each tent boasts a spacious furnished viewing deck, where guests can gaze out over the Mara River and the endless plains that stretch beyond. The tents are designed with contemporary African decor, ensuring both style and comfort.

Inside, the tents feature en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets, sinks, and showers, as well as dressing room alcoves. Beautiful wooden finishes add warmth and charm, while the thatched roofs ensure a comfortable temperature year-round, even during the hottest months. Whether you're relaxing inside your tent or enjoying the stunning views from your deck, you'll find every detail crafted to enhance your safari experience.

Public Areas

The camp's dining and bar areas are thoughtfully designed to make the most of the breathtaking surroundings. Each area is located on either side of the hill, catering to 8 tents at a time for a more private, exclusive atmosphere. After your safari adventure, settle into comfortable armchairs in the bar area for a refreshing drink, or head to the open-air restaurant tent where you can savor delicious meals while gazing at the vast savannah.

Swimming Pool and Spa

Mara River Post also features a swimming pool with a spacious sundeck, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy game viewing after your game drive. Take a dip to cool off, enjoy a chilled drink in hand, and bask in the warmth of the afternoon sun as you stretch out on a lounger. For those looking to unwind even further, a traditional massage awaits to pamper you after a day of exciting safari adventures.

Eco-Friendly Practices

Mara River Post is committed to sustainability and operates entirely on solar energy. A new generation solar system powers the entire camp, providing electricity and heating.

This eco-conscious approach ensures that your stay is both luxurious and environmentally responsible.
