Positioned on the edge of a forest, overlooking the northern Masai Mara's short grass plains. Many species of wildlife are regular visitors to the camp. The Masai Mara National Park, together with Tanzania's Serengeti national Park, forms one of the world's most diverse and spectacular eco-systems. The camp is secluded and intimate, with 7 tents, perfect for small groups and family holidays.

The Masai Mara offers wonderful scenery and an amazing abundance of wildlife. Every year it hosts what is now recognised as the greatest wildlife show on earth, 'the migration', which takes place between July and October.Over a million wildebeest and two hundred thousand zebra pass through on their endless journey, following the rains in search of grass. Mammals: Lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hippo, crocodile, antelope and gazelleare but some of the many species to be found. Birds: More than 400 species. SEASONS: Richard’s Camp is closed in May & November. The Mara has warm days and cool nights with daytime temperatures between 24-28ºC. It cools down considerably at night, enough to warrant bringing a warm sweater and light jacket. We expect the rains twice a year in October/November (short rains) and late March – end of May. However it is spectacular at this time of year with dramatic storms, spectacular sunsets and very few people in the Mara.
