Based on my last visit, some of the features and amenities that I really enjoyed and loved were the swimming pool and shaded outdoor areas where I and my friends had sun-downers almost everyday.

When it comes to activities, the cultural visits to the Masai Mara Villages, optional hot-air balloon safaris, bush meals and shared game drives were simply magical.

Finally, Sand River Camp is a recommendable Masai Mara Lodge because it offers children-based activities such as guided bush walks for kids, school visits during school days and educational talks or seminars that are tied to wildlife, nature and local culture.
