Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

Possibly the best & only camp I could've ever stayed at! My husband and I booked a safari for our 10th Wedding Anniversary, and our one night Maasai Mara stay was at Elewana Sand River. Absolutely mind blowing experience! Our only regret is that we didn't get a chance to spend more time here. The camp itself was located right next to the Sand River, with multiple animals lounging around the bank, great location. The rooms were right out of a Safari Dream! Clean, spacious, with a colonial interior, and oh, the attention to detail! Everything was meticulously thought out, right down to hot water bottles nestled in the bed in order to provide you with a warm and cosy night. Sublime! Oh and the food! Possibly the best meals I've had on this trip - delicious dinner and a great lunch. The staff was so polite, warm and welcoming. We had the best night's stay here, and would 100% recommend it to everyone else looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay at Maasai Mara. Thank you to the management for making this an unforgettable stay for us!

This camp was luxurious and beautiful. We stayed 2 nights in October but wish we could've stayed longer. All staff and security were so so friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. There were refreshments on offer throughout the day, including fresh coffee and cake before your game drives. The style of the camp was high end with comfortable spaces to relax, with a stunning pool area with views of the river. A bonfire each night. The food and service were impeccable. Our waiter, Patrick, was very kind and attentive. Nicolene (the manager) also took the time to chat with us each night and has even provided us recommendations for our next trip! The chef prepared lunch for us one day so we could have a picnic in the Masai, this was really high quality. The tents were absolutely gorgeous, with an outside shower and bath that we used. Hot water and bath salts provided. There was even a hot water bottle waiting for me when I got into bed... I have never experienced such attention to detail. The photos of this camp absolutely represent what we experienced. Security escort you back to your tent due to animals roaming the camp at night. This was a little nerve-racking but all part of the experience. Animals are attracted to the river and one morning we were woken up by about 25 elephants eating on the other side of the river - a simply spectacular sight. This camp was a once in a life time experience with animal noises in the night. The location is superb on the river bordering Tanzania. The Masai Mara game drives were the best, we saw most animals including the big 5, leopards and cheetahs! The scenery was green and beautiful, the sun sets behind the camp as you head in from your evening game drive... Just wow. Thank you Elewana camp and staff :) Emma and Callum x
