A Traditional Bush Camp

Entim Main is a traditional bush camp, set on the banks of the Mara River inside the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The feel is classic with a rustic touch, where canvas, wood, and the sounds of the bush carry the experience. Twelve tents are spread along the riverline, with the central area built around a long wooden viewing deck. Chairs line the deck end to end, set up for the view; a pavilion overlooks the water. A bar, dining area, gift shop, and the Entim Spa sit alongside, all looking onto the same stretch of river. The Rift Valley escarpment rises in the distance, while hippos move through the water below, elephants come down to drink, and the sound of grunting wildebeest carries across camp through the night.

12 Tents, Classic Lines

The twelve tents at Entim Main are raised on wooden decks along the bank of the Mara River, each with a private veranda angled toward the water. Inside, ensuite bathrooms and earthy tones run through every tent. The design is honest and classic: canvas walls, wooden floors, a bed turned down at night, a hot water bottle waiting for the cool hours. A seamless flow opens from the bedroom out to the deck, and from the deck down to the river. At night, the sounds of the river come up through camp: hippos, hyenas, the occasional lion. After dinner around the fire, Maasai warriors walk guests back to their tents.

The Great Migration

Each year, more than a million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle move through the Masai Mara as part of the Great Migration. The herds come north from the Serengeti between July and October, and the Mara River is the most dangerous obstacle they face. The crossings, when they happen, are extraordinary to witness, and they are also rare. Wildebeest can hesitate on the bank for days before a single animal commits and the rest follow. Entim Main looks directly onto one of these crossings. The river itself draws attention from across the reserve, but the camp's vantage point keeps a real distance from the usual crowds. From the viewing deck, the pavilion, or even their tents, guests can watch the herds gather and wait, sometimes for hours, for the moment the river is finally crossed.
