Serengeti Mara River Camp by Karibu Camps & Lodges — Hotel in Mara Region

This stay was incredible and I will never get over how amazing this camp and all of the workers are!|| I would first like to mention our guide Peter was absolutely amazing. We miss him so much already and we just left a day ago! He was so kind and knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to on our safari!||I also need to mention Claus who attended to us during our stay! He was so welcoming and personable. He went above and beyond and was always there whenever we needed anything at all. We enjoyed talking to him and he answered all of our questions.||The manager Tim was also so kind and we really cannot say enough good things about everyone who worked at this camp! My husband and I travel a lot and this was definitely one of the best in terms of how friendly and caring all of the staff was. We would recommend this to anyone 10/10 stay!||The room was also beautiful with zebras roaming right up to our door and the food was delicious. We felt very safe being walked everywhere by the guards and staff in the dark. I really can’t stay enough good things about this place and my husband and I, who always dreamed of going to Africa one day as our “once in a lifetime trip” are already talking about when we can come back to this camp specifically because it was just that incredible.||Book this camp! You will not regret it! Worth every penny! Thank you everyone at Serengeti river camp, we will never...

Walking through the lobby to the pool and dining area is gorgeous! Absolutely picturesque views and we arrived somewhat close to golden hour too so it was breathtaking! This was the first of the Karibu camps that we stayed at and i do feel like it was the nicest! The rooms were spacious and nicely laid out - very modern and nicely decorated! The service here was also really good, it was good at every camp, but here they helped coordinate with another camp to help me return a lost item - which I very much appreciated. Note that, like all the other camps we stayed at in tanzania there were no fences and escorts are required from your rooms to the common areas. We woke up to some zebras grazing outside our balcony one morning which was awesome! Our stay here was short unfortunately i wish it was longer. Many people stay here to view the Mara River Crossing we were a little late in the season but we got SUPER lucky and saw a smaller scale crossing (which was still 100s of wildebeests) it was so cool! The dining area was super nice and open air- surprising not a lot of bugs. the ambiance...

The bedsheets quality are very soft (better than previous lodges - we stayed 5). The facilities are newly upgraded (first season of full opening). The manager Moshi is incredible - gave us a really special moment for our honeymoon. They use tribe guards equipped with bows and arrows and they are very attentive. The dinner was great. Check out their bush dinner (need to be arranged in advance). Their staff Bill went for a walk around the premises with us and we greatly appreciated it. Finally the mara crossing is only 20 minutes away. During the night at 1130pm we saw hundreds of wildebeest running past us (50m away) which was incredible. Next day we walked past 4 zebras on the way to breakfast (3 metres away). Overall...
