About This Accommodation
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.

Large herds of wildebeest and zebras may gather near the Mara River during this period.
