About Mara Siria Tented Camp

A friendly owner-run camp on the Siria escarpment edge — sunrise over the whole Mara from the breakfast deck, then down into the Triangle for the day.

The area: Oloololo Escarpment & Mara West

The dramatic 300-metre rift wall that closes the Mara Triangle’s western edge. Lodges along its rim and foot look over the entire Triangle — the single best view in the ecosystem.

What it's like

Sunrise over the whole Mara from your bed, quick access to the quiet Triangle, and superb balloon country. A small cluster of camps ranges from ultra-luxury to solid value.

Getting there & fees

Kichwa Tembo or Mara Serena airstrips, or a long (6-hour) scenic drive from Narok around the reserve.

Plan around this stay

Seasons, wildlife and reserve fees are in the Masai Mara park guide. The year is broken down in the best time to visit the Masai Mara, and this price tier sits in context in what a Kenya safari costs in 2026. Gate hours and fee rules are spelled out in park rules and fees.
