Singita Mara River Tented Camp is a stunning luxury tented camp located on a dramatic bend in the Mara River within the Lamai triangle, providing unsurpassed viewing of the wildebeest river crossings during their annual migration.
Introducing Singita Mara River Tented Camp, an exceptional eco-lodge that operates entirely off the grid and embraces a new generation of sustainable practices. Constructed primarily from natural and recycled materials, this camp is located in one of the Serengeti's most vibrant wildlife regions, offering unparalleled game viewing opportunities throughout the year, particularly during the migration.

Accommodation
The camp features six bohemian-chic luxury tents, thoughtfully designed with solar power and using recycled and locally sourced materials. The sophisticated safari-style tents incorporate a blend of canvas, wood, and other sustainable elements. Each tent boasts an en-suite bathroom complete with a flush toilet, shower, and sink, as well as a private open-air tub. From the tents' private decks, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the Mara River.
Food & drink
Meals at Singita Mara River are planned around the safari day, with early breakfasts, relaxed lunches and dinners in camp or outdoors when conditions allow. Dietary requirements can be arranged before travel.
What to do
Game drives explore the Lamai Triangle and northern Serengeti, with guided walking arranged when conditions and permissions allow. The camp’s shared plunge pool and river-facing spaces provide time to rest between outings. Migration herds and crossings depend on the season and animals’ movements. This national-park camp should not be confused with Singita’s private Grumeti reserve lodges or their activity programme.
Planning your stay
Three or four nights gives the northern river setting time to deliver a varied safari. A Grumeti reserve stay adds a different landscape and accommodation context on a longer trip. We plan for both resident wildlife and seasonal herds rather than making every outing depend on a crossing.
The right fit
Couples and travellers who want a small, design-led canvas camp in northern river country. It is a useful comparison for people who favour intimacy over the facilities of a substantial lodge.
This is Singita’s Lamai-region camp, not one of its Grumeti lodges. Seasonal wildlife, tent configuration and travel connections need checking for your dates. River frontage does not guarantee a crossing outside your room.
Useful to know
The camp has six tented suites. Its small footprint creates a different atmosphere from Singita’s more substantial Grumeti lodges.
It is in the Lamai Triangle in northern Serengeti, overlooking a Mara River bend. It is geographically distinct from Singita’s Grumeti Reserve properties.
No. The location provides a northern river-country base, but the timing and position of wild herds and crossings cannot be promised.
A Grumeti stay can add a contrasting western reserve landscape. Ngorongoro or Zanzibar are other possibilities, with the choice guided by trip length and available flights.
