OVERVIEW

Richard's River Camp Life

Richard’s River Camp offers the discerning traveller a luxury tented camp in the very heart of the Masai Mara. Designed with privacy, exclusivity as well as adventure in mind we ensure a warm and memorable safari. A verdant bush savannah plain dotted with acacia trees spread as far as you can see is the bordering section of the Mara North and Olare Motorogi Conservancies where Richard’s River Camp is located. Overlooking the Ngoyanai Springs that not only serve to maintain the greenery but also draw thirsty animals, your stay at this boutique premier camp during your authentic bush holiday in East Africa will feature many exciting moments as you may see zebras foraging around Njageteck River or the resident pride of lions bringing down a meal right in front of you.

Back at Richard’s River Camp, you can retire to one of the 7 guest tents it offers. The soothing green colors of the tents seem to blend into their viridescent backdrop, but their interiors with their eclectic combination of fabrics with different patterns and textures are simply adorable. Some of the tents come with a double bed while others have twin beds, and in addition, one of the tents is a two-bedroom combination for families’ safari traveling in Kenya. The safari activities at Richard’s River Camp are done at Mara North Conservancy. When you visit his village on a cultural tour, you could even watch them being made along with the gorgeous bead jewelry making, cattle husbandry and other daily chores around the village.
