The Siana Springs Tented Camp is on a private land just east of the Masai Mara Game Reserve. This means that you can do a lot of different things, such as night drives and walking safaris. There are many places to see wildlife in the Masai Mara. During the wildebeest migration season, more than a million wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River and crowd the fields.

With professional rangers and Maasai guides, you can go on a wide range of wild experiences. You can explore the vast Mara plains and follow the streams around the Ngama Hills. Animals in the Masai Mara ecosystem depend on the “Siana” springs for water. They are the biggest in the ecosystem. As part of a tour, you can have breakfast and drinks at sunset in the bush.

Back at camp, there is a swimming pool and an adventure center for kids. You can also take a nap in your tent. Swedish massages are offered, and they’re especially nice after a long game drive. Drinks by the campfire and dinner under the stars are great ways to end the day before going to bed.
