Richard's River Camp is perfectly situated on the banks of the Njageteck River and is surrounded by 70 acres of private land in the Mara North Conservancy, allowing for total privacy and exclusivity. The Ngoyanai springs provide permanent water, drawing in large numbers of animals to the area around camp. This camp is also particularly known for its resident lion pride which can often been seen hunting right in front of the camp, and most always can be heard roaring during the night.
With only six tents and two large family suites, this camp is ideal for individuals as well as exclusive groups who wish to experience the Masai Mara in a personal and intimate setting. Beautifully appointed with furnishings and fabrics collected from all across the world - the result is a casually luxurious tented camp, combining exceptional wildlife with a contemporary ‘Out of Africa’ experience.
The luxury tents are spacious and beautifully furnished in comfortable safari style. All tents have 24 hour solar lighting.
Each canvas tent is a customized design which allows for significant size, air flow and light. Raised on concrete platforms with low wooden steps, the tent walls are high with netted windows and a lowroof pitch, therefore creating a fantastic airflow and good ventilation throughout. The tents are beige in colour and the ceilings have been covered with hand printed fabric which makes the tent interior brighter compared to the standard dark green canvas in other properties.
The rooms consist of a large bedroom area, behind which there is a dressing room followed by the bathroom. The dressing rooms can accommodate up to two extra beds each should it be required - therefore each standard tent can sleep up to four people.
Bathroom details: each tent is en-suite with a flush loo and shower area.
- Hot and cold running water.
- Soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion provided.
- Power system does not support hairdryers, shavers or any other high wattage device.
