  • Kenzan Mara Tented Camp

Kenzan Mara Tented Camp is an intimate safari camp located in the Kogatende area of the northern Serengeti, close to the Mara River. Its location makes it a strong choice for travellers visiting between July and October, when the Great Migration herds are often found in northern Serengeti.

The camp has only ten spacious tents, creating a quiet and personal atmosphere. Each tent is furnished in a traditional safari style and includes a comfortable bed, private ensuite bathroom, hot shower, flushing toilet, and views of the surrounding Serengeti landscape.

Kenzan Mara operates mainly on solar power, allowing guests to enjoy essential comforts while staying close to nature. The small size of the camp also gives the staff more time to provide personal service throughout each guest’s stay.

Safari activities include morning, afternoon, and full day game drives in northern Serengeti. During the migration season, guests may have opportunities to follow large herds of wildebeest and zebras and search for Mara River crossings. However, crossings are natural events and can never be guaranteed on a particular day.

Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many other animals may also be seen in the surrounding area. Hot air balloon safaris and other special experiences may be arranged in advance, depending on availability and park regulations.

Meals are freshly prepared and served at the camp, while evenings can be spent around the campfire enjoying drinks and listening to the sounds of the Serengeti.

We recommend Kenzan Mara Tented Camp for couples, honeymooners, families, photographers, and travellers looking for a smaller tented camp close to the seasonal Great Migration areas of northern Serengeti.

    Great Tanzanian vacation

    We toured with Tanzania Safari Experience for an eight day trip to Tanzania. Five days of safari and then three days of beach vacation in Zanzibar. They were great to work with and customized everything exactly the way we wanted it. The lodges we were booked in were all incredible, particularly the Lahia Tented Lodge in the Serengeti. Our driver, Jay, seemed to know every road in every national park and as a result the wildlife viewing was unparalleled. There were times where we were the only vehicle seeing lions or hippos. The owner, Laurent, was extremely responsive and any issues we had in-country with our logistics were immediately sorted by him. He genuinely wanted us to have a first-rate experience. The only thing we were unprepared for is that some of the days in the safari vehicle were very long (10+ hours) and the roads can be really rough. But there were plenty of cold drinks in the car and it was worth it to see the wildlife. The safari/beach split was a great way to do the vacation and the beaches of Zanzibar were beautiful with clear blue water.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

    Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.
