Nestled above the iconic Mara River and overlooking the vast, untamed plains of the Maasai Mara and the Mara Triangle, just 9km from the Serengeti border, Surana Mara is a place where the raw power of Africa meets genuine luxury.
More than simply a safari camp, Surana Mara is an immersive wilderness retreat, thoughtfully designed for those who refuse to choose between adventure and refinement. The luxury tented suites are deliberately open to the surrounding wild, so the sights and sounds of the Mara become as much a part of your stay as the interiors themselves. Game drives go out in custom Land Cruisers with elevated viewing platforms and generous seating, led by guides who know this landscape intimately. Dining is full-board and unhurried. The chefs tailor five-course menus daily. They accompany these menus with artisanal snacks, infusion teas, wellness drinks, and wines and spirits drawn from across the globe. The open-sided main dining area frames uninterrupted views of the river from morning through to evening. Two river-facing bars offer different moods: the upper bar sweeps across the Mara Triangle and is where sundowners tend to linger, punctuated by wildlife moving along the opposite bank; the lower bar is quieter and more intimate, its wine cellar well-suited to private tastings. A sunken lounge by the riverbank, lit by firelight after dark, rounds out the communal spaces. Beyond the camp itself, signature bush experiences range from Hippo Pool breakfasts, or sundowners while out on safari drives, to private dinners beneath an open sky. At Surana Mara, they take wellness seriously. The spa provides a range of specialised treatments or the invigorating contrast of a session in the sauna followed by a cold plunge. The spa also provides some pampering with nail and facial treatments for those seeking some indulgence. Yoga sessions on the mat, a fully equipped gym, and a run club round up the fitness offerings. The infinity pool with sunbeds overlooks the wilderness, providing the perfect space to pause and reflect. For those after the perfect photographic capture, the Surana Mara photography studio offers access to professional Nikon cameras, lenses and equipment along with the guidance of an experienced in-house photographer to help you capture the perfect shot be it the action of the Great Wildebeest Migration, or an intimate wildlife portrait.
Wake to the sounds of the wilderness, watch elephants move along the riverbank from your bath, and fall asleep under a canopy of stars. Each of the 12 expansive, riverside luxury tented suites has been designed to draw the outside world in, with hardwood floors, plush king beds, and serene lounge spaces that open directly onto private decks overlooking the Mara River. Each suite comes with a private lounge, an elegant en-suite bathroom, and outdoor seating that opens directly onto panoramic river views. Bathrooms feature dual vanities, a generous walk-in shower, and a freestanding stone bathtub, each positioned to make the most of the breathtaking river views beyond.
