Ngerende in the Wild
Ngerende in the Wild is a luxury temporary camp situated on the banks of the Mara River within the Masai Mara National Park.
Ngerende in the Wild has two options – a river view or lake view – and is positioned in an area abundant in wildlife and only 15 minutes from a major migration crossing. Guests are accommodated in luxury tents or the more traditional canvas/wood suites complete with butler service, exclusive chef and unsurpassed views.
At the River View site there are two luxury tents with every comfort and the adventure of open air dining (weather permitting), al fresco bucket showers and great sunsets.
For the Lake View the Suites are the more traditional canvas and wood structures with a lap pool in each of the two large Suites. There are amazing views over the savannah and it is not unusual for guests to be able to sit on their terrace watching the Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo that are resident around the camp.
A one or two night stay can be added as a supplement to a main stay at Ngerende Island Lodge for a unique combination of luxury and the bush.
