A private bend
of the Mara River.
Twelve tented suites threaded along the water, and nothing else. An intimate safari camp measured in space, silence and scarcity.
Savannah builds lightly on the land, in the most singular corners of East Africa — and runs to the standard of the world’s most considered houses.
A collection of twelve to fifteen suites — no more — operated to the standards of the world’s leading luxury hospitality groups. Deliberately small, wholly private, and entirely of its place: one of the rarest addresses in the Mara.
The oldest conservancy in the Mara ecosystem.
Seventeen thousand acres of community-held land in the northern Greater Maasai Mara. Established in 1991, Ol Choro Oiroua set the template for a model that today protects more than 400,000 acres of the Mara.
Arrival is by air. Ngerende Airstrip lies only moments from the site, with daily light-aircraft connections from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport — guests step from the plane into the wild within minutes.
An open-sided pavilion under peaked canvas, opening entirely to the river.
A private deck carries a stone-edged plunge pool, daybeds and lantern light. Inside, a calm handcrafted interior of pale linen, timber and stone — the bed turned to the water, a freestanding bath set to the view.
Tables set at the water’s edge, above the rapids.
A canvas-roofed pavilion of timber, dry stone and candlelight, with an open kitchen and a considered cellar — cuisine that is refined, seasonal and quietly excellent.
A considered cellar, candlelight, and the river below.
Dinner unfolds slowly under peaked canvas — dry-stone walls warm in the lantern light, the open kitchen at its heart, and a private table waiting at the deck’s edge whenever the evening calls for it.
Wellbeing as an everyday rhythm, not an amenity.
A main infinity pool reaching toward the Mara, lantern-lit as the light drops.
A spa pavilion for considered treatments, open to forest and water.
Sunrise yoga above the water, with mist lifting off the river.
Convivial, yet intimate — a discreet heart at the centre.
A dry-stone fireplace, deep linen seating, and books under canvas.
A sunken riverside circle for evenings beneath the African sky.
A bar built for sundowners, and a welcome that begins at the boardwalk.
Quiet, tactile, of the earth.
A rare site, seeking a
singular operator.
Savannah Estates holds a private bend of the Mara within a proven conservancy model, and is seeking a world-class operating partner to realise it. We would welcome a conversation.
