Emboo River Camp
Set up on a river bend in the heart of Maasai Mara National Reserve, this is the first fully sustainable eco lodge in the region. Emboo’s vision is "Mataramat enkop pee eramat iyook." which translates to “If you take care of nature, nature will take care of you.” Interestingly, the camp features a hydroponic farm (growing plants without soil, water based solution is used) running on biogas.The restaurant prepares meals using its produce. Guests have access to a spa, gym and swimming pool which are great for a rejuvenating experience. Do not miss out on a horse riding venture through the savannah! You will be delighted to know that there is a major river crossing point of the annual wildebeest migration very close to the camp.
