Elephant Families of Mara North: Gentle Giants by the River

Few animals capture the imagination like elephants. At Hemingways River Camp, sightings of elephant families along the Mara River are a highlight for many guests.

Herd Life
Led by a matriarch, elephant herds showcase strong family bonds. Calves stay close to their mothers, while older females guide the group across the plains.

River Encounters
The Mara River provides essential water, drawing elephants to drink, bathe, and cool off. Watching herds cross or interact at the river’s edge creates unforgettable memories.

Conservation Importance
Elephants face threats across Africa, making the protection offered by Mara North Conservancy crucial for their future. Guests play a role in this effort simply by choosing to stay here.
