    About Siana Springs Intrepids

    • Close Panel 
    Siana Springs Intrepids Camp is situated at the base of the Ngama Hills, on the eastern edge of the Masai Mara Reserve. Siana Springs Intrepids occupies a lush indigenous forest watered by the largest natural spring in the Mara ecosystem. The camp'’s location in the heart of the Siana Group Ranch offers guests opportunities for walking safaris, night drives and fly-camping along the seasonal streams beneath the local highlands.
     
    The 38 comfortable, en suite tents are spread amongst the woodlands with private verandas watching over the grazing bushbuck that are resident in the camp. Siana Springs Intrepids is split into three wings: the centrally located Bamboo benefits from neatly manicured lawns and gardens, whilst the Palm and Acacia wings are slightly more private, being located a little further into the woodland and have a wilder feel to them. Also tucked away in a forest clearing is a sunbathing terrace and a swimming pool, which offers a soothing respite from the heat of the day.
     
    Siana Springs is centred round a large dining area with a beautiful open-air terrace that looks out across the camp's lush lawns. Meals can be taken in the dining room or on the terrace, where guests can watch the fearless bushbucks, vervet monkeys and tree hyraxes during the day and genet cats and mongooses at night.
     
    Adventurers and Young Rangers clubs provide children and young people with a whole range of safari activities to keep active minds occupied between game drives. The clubs are fully supervised and include butterfly catching, making casts of big cat tracks and learning how to identify the 100 different species of birds that inhabit the area.
     
    Other activities available to guests include dawn hot air balloon safaris, providing stunning panoramic views of the Masai Mara game Reserve. Additionally arrangements can be made for riverside banquets in the main Mara reserve, bush breakfasts and dinners under the stars and romantic sundowners on the Ngama Hills.
     
    Fair Trade / Responsible Travel:
    Siana Springs Camp supported the building of the local Nkoilale Primary School and is also helping to fund a second primary school at Empompongi.  60 percent of the camp workforce is made up of local Maasai people.

    Pricing guidelines for Kenya

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £400 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Kenya combines well with Tanzania or Uganda.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
