Mara Siria Tented Bush Camp & Cottages

Tented bush camp and cottages · Oloololo (Siria) Escarpment, west of the Mara Triangle · Mara Siria

Mid-range Outside the gate Ownership unconfirmed

Mara Siria is a tented bush camp with cottages on the Oloololo Escarpment, which local people call the Siria, outside the reserve above the Mara Triangle. Its menu is broader than most: game drives, nature walks, mountain biking, horse riding, cultural visits and balloon flights. The site does not name the owner, and rates sit behind an online booking engine. Choose it if you want an active escarpment stay with the Triangle below; skip it if you want everything confirmed in writing before you click.

What the park charges on top

The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.

Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
$200per person, per day
VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
$8per vehicle, per day

Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.

Rates at Mara Siria Tented Bush Camp & Cottages

Rates on request. Mara Siria sells through an online booking engine and no rate was captured (read 6 Oct 2026). Drives into the Triangle carry the reserve ticket of $100 (January to June) or $200 (July to December) per non-resident adult per 12-hour day.

What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.

Every figure on this page is in US dollars.

Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
