Roca River Camp

Roca River Camp has a lovely position beside the Mara River in Kenya’s spectacular Masai Mara National Reserve. The camp is on the edge of a secluded patch of forest with views across the river of the Mara Triangle and the Ololo Escarpment. The owners, Ross and Caro Withy, host guests and lead a team of superb staff. 

Accommodation & Facilities
Roca River Camp has 10 authentic safari tents, including two for families, spaced out along the riverbank and in the edge of the forest with views of the plains beyond. The tents have lovely hand-made furniture, hand-woven rugs, en-suite bathrooms with bucket showers and flush loos, and a shaded seating area at the front. The camp has a mess tent with a dining room, lounge, and bar, and an al fresco dining table and campfire, and a second smaller lounge with a fire pit and a photo editing desk. 

Wildlife & Activities
The forest, Musiara marsh, and Paradise Plains are some of the finest wildlife habitat in Africa, and lions, leopard, cheetah, black rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and huge numbers of antelopes can be seen here, often with a surprising degree of ease. When the great wildebeest migration arrives the volume of wildlife multiplies to an astonishing extent.  Wildlife drives in open vehicles across the Masai Mara and the Mara Triangle are the best way to see the wildlife, and additional activities on offer include meeting local communities, meals in the bush, walks, bird watching, and, for an extra fee, balloon flights.
