Richard's River Camp
Richard's River Camp was founded as Richard and Liz's 'home away from home' in 2006, when their son Willoughby was born. The camp is perfectly positioned on the banks of the Njageteck River in the secluded Mara North Conservancy, ensuring complete solitude and exclusivity.
The Ngoyanai springs provide permanent water, attracting a huge number of animals to the surrounding area. This camp is especially well-known for its resident lion pride, which is frequently observed hunting directly in front of the camp and can be heard roaring at night. With only seven tents, this camp is excellent for individuals as well as small groups looking to experience the Masai Mara in a more intimate environment. Beautifully outfitted with furnishings and fabrics chosen by Liz on her travels, the result is a casually sumptuous tented camp that combines excellent wildlife with a modern 'Out of Africa' experience.

The Masai Mara in Kenya is the most famous of Africa's reserves. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers. Preying on them are the predators, lions, cheetah and leopard. Although the black-maned Mara lion is the star of the show, elephant, buffalo, kongoni, topi, waterbuck and primates are can also be found on in the wide green gold savannahs of the Masai Mara. The reserve is home to the northern end of the annual wildebeest migration and thousands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope sweep in from Tanzania's Serengeti. They are tracked by large predators who pick off the weak, young and stragglers. The migration mass along the Mara River, shoving and pushing just waiting for the first animal to cross so they can complete the final leg of their journey. Crocodiles lie in wait for their best meal of the year. Long after the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra have passed, the plains are still home to an abundant of wildlife. The game viewing here centres on the game rich plains which support a whole host of grazing animals including elephants, giraffe and assorted gazelle. The nearby woodlands also provide shelter for resident lions and other big cats. Not far from the camp is a rhino sanctuary which provides a small group of white rhinos with a secure environment with 24 hour guards. This is a rare opportunity to come face to face with one of these magnificent creatures.
