Opening August 15, 2025: A New Era of Safari Excellence Begins
Prepare to redefine your idea of a luxury safari. Nestled in the heart of Kenya’s world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton, Masai Mara Safari Camp is set to debut on August 15, 2025, offering a refined new standard in wilderness experiences. Now accepting reservations, this highly anticipated opening invites you to immerse yourselves in nature’s most breathtaking theater, where wildlife roams free and elegance knows no bounds.
A Safari Sanctuary Like No Other
Perched gracefully among the lush canopy of the Sand River region, the Camp brings The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary service and attention to detail to one of the planet’s most iconic landscapes. With just 20 exquisitely appointed suites, including a lavish 4-bedroom Presidential Suite, each guest enjoys an intimate, personalized experience with:
-
Private decks overlooking untamed wilderness
-
Individual plunge pools
-
24-hour personalized butler service
-
Sweeping views of the Great Migration’s dramatic spectacle
Every moment is designed to evoke wonder, from sunrise game drives to evenings under the stars with stories beside the fire.
Sustainable Design, Seamless Integration
The Camp is a masterclass in eco-conscious luxury. Built in harmony with its surroundings, its architecture respects and reflects the rhythms of the land. Guests enjoy the comforts of modern indulgence without compromising the pristine beauty of the Masai Mara ecosystem. Every structure, material, and service is thoughtfully selected to promote sustainability and local engagement.
Getting There: The Journey Is Part of the Experience
By Air
Arriving is part of the adventure. Daily flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport (WIL) take you on a scenic one-hour journey to Serena Airstrip (HKOA). From there, an unforgettable one-hour game drive ushers you into the Camp — an awe-inspiring welcome to the wild.
By Road
Prefer to explore at ground level? Private road transfers from Nairobi span 5 to 6 hours, taking you through rolling savannahs, traditional villages, and ever-changing vistas that capture the spirit of Kenya.
Child Policy
To cultivate an atmosphere of tranquility and ensure the well-being and safety of all guests, the minimum age requirement is six years. Families can enjoy tailored activities that make the safari adventure engaging for young explorers.
