Richard’s River Camp : A cozy and welcoming ambiance is created by exquisitely carved wood tables, etched glass water bottles, large pillow chairs, and soothing hammocks. As soon as you enter your opulent safari tent at Richard’s River Camp, all of this is waiting for you. Located along the banks of the Ntiakatek River in the wildlife-rich Mara North Conservancy, this safari camp and its friendly Maasai staff will make sure your safari vacation is one to remember.
Richard’s River Camp is one of just eleven safari sites in the exclusive Mara North Conservancy, and it is perfectly located on the banks of the Ntiakatek River. It is also quite private. The surroundings of the camp are quite beautiful. It has a view of Ngoyanai Springs, a perennial spring that sustains the area’s lushness and greenery and draws a constant stream of species. Unbelievably, there is a pride of lions living in the camp. They might be spotted hunting in front of the camp, and you can hear their roars in the distance after dusk.
With just seven tents—six standard tents and one family tent—the camp is ideal for solo travelers as well as larger parties of friends or family. This portion of the Masai Mara is preserved in part by the revenue the camp generates. Staying here in the Mara North Conservancy as opposed to the larger Masai Mara National Reserve has a few other advantages. For example, you’ll get to experience nighttime wildlife drives, beautiful bush walks, and a visit to a local Masai community. The best part is that you won’t have to deal with the hordes of tourists you might find in the National Reserve during busy travel times because only a certain number of safari visitors are permitted in the Mara North Conservancy at any given time.
