Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

Elewana Sand River Masai Mara lies upon the banks of the river of which it takes its name. Nestled in the southern region of the 8,000km2 Greater Mara, this location sits near the Kenyan-Tanzanian border, adjoining the Serengeti and Masai Mara in one immense ecosystem. The ancestral homelands of the Maasai tribespeople are one of the most incredible ecosystems on the planet, enjoying warm temperatures year-round, with low humidity, this other Eden is a paradise for the wildlife, which includes the Big 5, 450 different bird species, and many, many more. These lush pastures attract 1.3million wildebeest and zebra each year, who migrate en masse from the Serengeti, in what has been classed among the Seven Wonders of the World. The migratory crossings of the sand river are amongst the most incredible spectacles in Africa; with such close proximity to the camp, this location is but a stone’s throw from what may be the pinnacle of safari.

The craggy hillside provides an exciting backdrop from which guests at the Star Beds can enjoy superb views of the Loisaba Conservancy. The Elewana Loisaba Star Beds have 3 en suite double platform rooms, and one en suite family platform room with two double beds.

The bathrooms are designed using the existing natural rock features, and are open plan for that ultimate shower-with-a-view.
