Elewana Sand River Mara
Located on the banks of a river from which it has taken its name, Sand river Maasai Mara is within Maasai Mara national reserve, close to the Tanzanian border. It is on a secluded site. Sand river Maasai Mara replicates the heyday of the late 1920’s. The interior fixtures mirror this period perfectly. Sand river Maasai Mara is an ideal spot, at any time of the year, for those wishing to enjoy game-viewing. The National reserve is best known for its large concentrations of big cats, such as leopard, cheetah and, of course, lion. Even the arrival of the annual migration merely adds to an already abundant  wildlife. Sand River Masai Mara has 16-tents each divided into two separate but adjoining campsites, with each area having its own dining and public areas.
The Maasai Mara game reserve is often called Mara – a Maasai word meaning mottled. The Reserve covers 1,510 sq. km and rises 1,500-2,170 meters above sea level. The terrain of the reserve is primarily grassland and riverine forest with clumps of acacia trees. It is 270 km from Nairobi and takes about 5-6 hours by road or 40-45 minutes by flight. The Masai Mara ecosystem holds one of the highest lion densities in the world and this is where over two million wildebeest, zebra and Thompson gazelle migrate annually. It hosts over 95 species of mammals and 570 recorded species of birds. The wildlife of the Masai Mara is world-renowned, with the so-called Big Five- buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhinoceros – evident throughout the year. The Big Nine – including cheetah, zebra, giraffe and hippo – extends this experience.
