Remote and unspoilt, Singita Mara River Tented Camp meets the demands of an increasingly discerning traveller for an authentic and meaningful connection with nature that leaves behind a lighter footprint. Close to the ground and off the grid, the concept and design of the camp encourages constant engagement with nature. Located on a dramatic bend in the Mara River within the Lamai triangle in Tanzania, this solar powered camp provides unsurpassed viewing of the wildebeest river crossings during annual migration. Singita Mara River Tented Camp is the epitome of sustainable tourism and consciously seeks to eliminate the unnecessary use of energy and non-biodegradable materials.

The look is Bohemian chic, contemporary with splashes of bright colours, yet not losing the elegant yet relaxed feet-up style that defines the Singita brand. Strong modern design puts a fresh spin on local creativity, with inspiration coming from traditional, everyday African objects like baskets, beads and pots, reworked and repurposed by young African designers and craftspeople.

Inside the camp, contemporary chic sets the tone for cool relaxation; raw leather blends, Maasai colours and elegant art by young African designers and craftsmen. The camp consists of four 1-bedroom en-suite tents and two family tents that can accommodate two adults and two children.

Singita Mara River Tented Camp offers a plunge pool at the main camp area, the perfect place for a relaxing dip under the vast African sky. While there is no fitness centre at Singita Mara River Tented Camp, guests can enjoy yoga or meditation on their private deck.

The Singita wellness philosophy creates an environment for our urban-weary guests to reconnect to nature, revive their senses, restore their body and mind, and explore our African culture. Spa treatments can be pre-arranged and enjoyed on the deck or in your tent. The products used are carefully selected for the positive impact that they have on our guests and the environment. The Dermalogica products use only the finest ingredients available from eco-safe sources, do not test on animals and are suitable for both men and women.

The culinary experience at Singita’s lodges and camps is an integral part of any visit to these incredible wilderness areas. Each and every plate is an expression of the company’s commitment not only to creating an outstanding food offering that perfectly complements the exquisite surroundings in which guests find themselves, but to the importance of practising environmental sustainability at every level, including in the kitchens.

Singita is recognised as one of Africa’s most influential collectors of wine, with an extensive cellar showcasing a premium selection of wines, including some of the continent’s most sought-after private reserves, including exclusive release, limited single vineyard and rare auction wines. It’s safe to say that wine is a key ingredient of the unique Singita experience. Singita’s experienced sommeliers are able to guide guests through a variety of wine styles, years and cultivars to find the wines most suited to their individual tastes.

Singita Mara River Tented Camp is ideally suited for the traveler who wants to get up and close to nature with the creature comforts of home without leaving behind a trace. The camp consists of four 1-bedroom en-suite tents and two family tents, making it ideal for couples and families.
