The Ritz-Carlton, Masai Mara Safari Camp Hotel - Maasai Mara

5-star safari camp with private plunge pool views, outdoor dining in Tanzania, and a Canon photo studio

Rooms with Private Plunge Pools and River Views

The Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp offers 20 air-conditioned tents, each with a private heated plunge pool overlooking the Sand River or the Serengeti plains. Each room includes two bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, a spacious living area, and a private deck with sun loungers. Guests receive daily housekeeping, complimentary laundry service, and a nightly turndown with hot water bottles and mosquito netting.

Outdoor Dining and Themed Meals

Dining at the Ritz-Carlton Kenya safari camp includes bush breakfasts set up under a tree in Tanzania, with freshly prepared hollandaise and Eggs Florentine. The restaurant serves a rotating menu of themed dinners-Indian, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, and Boma night-all made from scratch. Guests can also order off-menu East African dishes, request private dinners in the wine cellar or on Upeo (the rooftop deck), and enjoy 24-hour room service.

Wellness Center with Spa and Steam Room

The on-site Whispering Tree Spa offers massages (back, full-body, couples, foot, head, and neck) in treatment rooms open to nature, with no product sales pitch afterward. Guests have unlimited access to the steam room, sauna, outdoor swimming pool with a view, and a semi-outdoor fitness center with yoga classes and fitness sessions. Spa/wellness packages include personalized treatments such as the signature Whispering Tree Experience, and the spa lounge provides a relaxing area between sessions.

Children's Club and Family Activities

The Masai Mara Ritz Carlton camp provides a kids' club with supervised activities, an indoor play area, board games, and puzzles for younger guests. Themed dinner nights and live music or performances keep children entertained in the evening, while daily game drives and a game room offer family-friendly adventure. Family rooms are available, and the staff can arrange bead-making, cocktail classes, and a coffee class for all ages.

Private Game Drives and Photo Studio

Each tent at the Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara receives its own private safari vehicle and a silver-certified guide-the only Kenyan hotel with this certification-who leads two daily game drives through the Mara Triangle and Great Mara. The camp's Canon photo studio loans guests professional cameras (Canon R5 Mark II, 200-800mm lenses) for the entire stay, and photographers like Kennedy help edit and airdrop selected photos. Guests can also book a hot air balloon safari, visit a rhino sanctuary, or enjoy sundowner drinks in the bush.
