Richard’s River Camp

For the last three generations, the Roberts families have played an integral part for conservation in Kenya. In 2011 Richard and Liz founded the Mara Elephant Project, which is instrumental in human-wildlife conflict mitigation and anti-poaching through the collaring, monitoring and tracking of elephants. With a dedicated team, MEP is achieving great results in reducing elephant poaching;

The Camp 6 luxury tents can accommodate up to 4 family members, provided the children are aged 12 or under, although we would advise for 3 people to share this space – please refer to the fact sheet for more information. Children in their own tent would be calculated as a minimum of 1 adult & 1 child, should 3 children be sharing a tent together then the rate of 1 adult & 2 children would be applicable.
