Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

On our safari we stayed at 5 different Elewana properties. Although the location of this one is great it was not our favorite. Our room was hot during the night. The patio/porch which overlooked the river was so hot you couldn't sit out. The outdoor shower, which I would have loved to use was unusable because you were told not to use it at night because of the bugs and during the day it was so hot that you couldn't touch the handles on the faucets. We were in room 12. It was in a. separate part of the camp. I think I would have enjoyed staying in the main camp more. Food was good. Our guide, Charles seems dot be preoccupied.

We traveled to several Elewana properties and they. were all equally amazing! But being on the Sand River which divides Tanzania to Kenya was truly remarkable. The staff exceeded our expectations - the food was truly amazing, the safaris were outstanding - we saw everything and more! While the trip is adventures and pack filled with animals & fun - with little relaxation - the cozy dinners and food with friends on the river were remarkable! HIGHLY recommend!

Our trip to sand river was unmatched, Joel is the best guide we had during our trip to Kenya - he went above and beyond to help us see some of the craziest sites while in Safari. Would highly highly recommend! Collins was also a brilliant help during our stay - we loved being catered to by him.

This is the most stunning camp. Extraordinary luxury right in the middle of the Masai Mara. The food in particular was stunning. The rooms are amazing ‘tents’ although the interiors as far from being a tent as it is possible to get. Sleep with the flaps open so that you can hear the elephants and lions through the night

This lodge was an extremely great experience for my family. Benjamin was our guide and he was amazing at finding good viewings, great scenic spots, and very insightful about the Masai Mara. Location in the south of Masai Mara is ideal as the north has a lot of cars and lodges and is much more crowded.

This camp was luxurious and beautiful. We stayed 2 nights in October but wish we could've stayed longer. All staff and security were so so friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. There were refreshments on offer throughout the day, including fresh coffee and cake before your game drives. The style of the camp was high end with comfortable spaces to relax, with a stunning pool area with views of the river. A bonfire each night. The food and service were impeccable. Our waiter, Patrick, was very kind and attentive. Nicolene (the manager) also took the time to chat with us each night and has even provided us recommendations for our next trip! The chef prepared lunch for us one day so we could have a picnic in the Masai, this was really high quality. The tents were absolutely gorgeous, with an outside shower and bath that we used. Hot water and bath salts provided. There was even a hot water bottle waiting for me when I got into bed... I have never experienced such attention to detail. The photos of this camp absolutely represent what we experienced. Security escort you back to your tent due to animals roaming the camp at night. This was a little nerve-racking but all part of the experience. Animals are attracted to the river and one morning we were woken up by about 25 elephants eating on the other side of the river - a simply spectacular sight. This camp was a once in a life time experience with animal noises in the night. The location is superb on the river bordering Tanzania. The Masai Mara game drives were the best, we saw most animals including the big 5, leopards and cheetahs! The scenery was green and beautiful, the sun sets behind the camp as you head in from your evening game drive... Just wow. Thank you Elewana camp and staff :) Emma and Callum x
