Elewana Sand River Masai Mara
Overview
Nestled along the tranquil banks of its namesake river, Elewana Sand River Masai Mara is set within Kenya's renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, offering a secluded and breathtaking retreat. The camp boasts uninterrupted vistas of the Sand River, with sweeping views extending to the rolling grassy plains and hills of neighboring Tanzania.
Strategically positioned along the epic migration route, the camp provides front-row seats to one of nature’s greatest spectacles—millions of wildebeest, zebras, and Thompson’s gazelles journeying between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara.
