Emboo River
Located in a river bend within the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Emboo River is the perfect location to relax in nature and see wildlife. Close to the lodge is a popular river crossing used by wildebeest, zebra and antilopes during the Great Migration season, so game drives start as soon as you leave the camp. This sustainable luxury lodge blends in with its surroundings, allowing you to watch animals while enjoying breakfast. Emboo River is also going full eco! It is the first lodge in the Maasai Mara with electric safari vehicles, so you can enjoy game drives without noise or pollution. Emboo River relies on solar power only and recycles all its waste water, reducing its water consumption by 90%! FYI: Did you know that Emboo is the Maasai word for "Pride of Lions"? Our logo features the constellation of "Leo".
The Emboo River team is stepping up the game for you and looks forward to welcoming you at this stunning camp! Our team includes staff with lots of experience in the hospitality sector. Discover the nature around you with the bests Guides of the Maasai Mara, or enjoy delicious à la carte meals prepared by our Chef. Emboo River is managed by an experienced team which is committed to innovating the safari experience. We want you to enjoy a luxurious safari experience and relaxing holiday, while also benefitting from the latest technologies - such as electronic (and silent) safari vehicles and a refreshing pool (from biologically filtered rainwater).
Emboo River is located at a river bend in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. You can spot your favorite animals on a game drive or watch them stroll by your tent. BBC shot its "Big Cat Diaries" from our camp & the famous leopard Bella has been seen lounging in a fig tree within the camp. The camp blends in with nature and is not fenced, to ensure that our presence at the camp does not interfere with nature. No need to worry though, as our guards are always on the lookout.
