Hemingways River Camp

Set along the tranquil Njageteck River within the wildlife-rich Mara North Conservancy, Hemingways River Camp Mara offers an intimate luxury safari experience in one of Kenya’s most exclusive safari regions. Surrounded by sweeping savannahs, riverine forests, and abundant wildlife, the camp blends authentic under-canvas adventure with refined comfort and personalised hospitality. Founded by conservationist Richard Roberts and his wife Liz, the camp reflects a deep connection to the land, where privacy, sustainability, and immersive wildlife experiences remain at the heart of every stay.
With only eight elegant tents, the camp creates a secluded and highly personalised atmosphere. Six Luxury Tents capture the romance of classic safari living, while the spacious Family Suite and exclusive Private Suite offer enhanced comfort for families and small groups, complete with private lounge areas and dedicated staff.
