Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp

The Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp will open August 2025 as the first Ritz-Carlton safari camp, and the first Ritz-Carlton in Kenya.

Getting to the Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp

Most travelers choose to fly to the Masai Mara from Nairobi. The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, NBO, is served by nonstop flights from Abu Dhabi AUH, Amsterdam AMS, Doha DOH, Dubai DXB, Frankfurt FRA, Istanbul IST, London LHR, and Paris CDG, among others. You'll then need to transfer to the Nairobi domestic airport, Wilson WIL for the ~1 hour flight to the Masai Mara.

Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp Luxury Tents and Amenities

The new safari camp will feature 20 elegantly appointed tented suites, including a four-bedroom presidential suite, each with a separate living area, private sunken lounge, infinity plunge pool, and indoor and outdoor showers.

For most travelers, the best time to stay will be during the Masai Mara's dry season of July-October, since the reduced vegetation and the clustering of animals by water holes makes for better game viewing. The early part of this period also coincide with the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey to the area from the Serengeti; each year the peak of the Great Migration is a bit different, but generally it occurs between late July-late August.

Elevated amongst the trees on a secluded island surrounded by the famous Sand River near the Tanzanian border, this treetop retreat will offer picturesque views of the riverbanks and forest, giving guests a front-row seat to experience the majesty of the Great Migration.

The luxury safari camp will feature a multi-cuisine restaurant with a curated wine cellar, a stargazing sky deck, and an authentic boma (traditional homestead). Additional leisure facilities will include a spa and wellness center, outdoor gym, swimming pool, discovery hub, map room and a photography studio. Guests will enjoy daily game drives as well as other bespoke cultural experiences.
