Situated at the
base of the Ngama Hills, on the eastern edge of the Maasai Mara
Reserve, Siana Springs occupies a lush indigenous forest watered by
the largest natural springs in the Mara ecosystem – Siana or the
"plentiful" springs in Maa. The camp’s location in the heart of the
Siana Group Ranch offers guests unique opportunities for thrilling
walking safaris, night drives and fly-camping along the seasonal
streams beneath the Ngama Hills, while our hosts will also treat you
to uniquely uncontrived interpretive tours of their manyattas,
cattle bomas, cultural and community facilities.
Accomodation
This special tented camp offers 38 spacious tents situated in three
secluded ‘wings’: the Bamboo Wing, surrounded by bamboo groves and
flowering ornamental trees near the main camp; the Palm Wing,
overlooking a series of springs, lily-clad ponds and lush indigenous
forest; and the Acacia Wing, which occupies more open acacia
woodland rich in birdlife on the camp boundary. The tents boast the
very latest in modern camping, with large single or double beds,
personal closets and writing desks, and
en suite bathrooms
with flush toilets and steaming hot showers.
Public Areas -Siana Springs is centred around a large dining area
with a beautiful open-air terrace that looks out across the camp’s
lush lawns to the open plains of Africa beyond. While the dining
room has a large seating capacity, most guests prefer to take their
meals outside, where they can watch Siana’s famously fearless
bushbucks, vervet monkeys and tree hyraxes during the day – and
genet cats and mongooses at night. Dancing and singing performances
by the local Maasai are normally held on this terrace. There is also
a spacious bar and comfortable lounge area, a conference tent with
modern business facilities, and a boutique selling local handicrafts
and safari essentials. In the middle of the forest, a beautiful
swimming pool offers a soothing respite from the heat of the day.
