Entumoto Safari Camp

Entumoto Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing way to spend a couple of days in the Masai Mara, the team were super attentive and always willing to help - such a great team. The tents were of a good size and comfortable, - additionally we had a great view of the watering hole in the camp were we could watch animals freely roam to come for a drinking (elephants, zebra and impalas) Food was of good quality with a lot of ingredients from their garden (definitely recommend visiting if you have green fingers ) We had the best Safari guide with Berthwell, he was fantastic and so knowledgable - we got the big five within the first 2 hours, before a lovely bush breakfast! I would love to go back again and highly recommend Entumoto Safari Camp to anyone visiting the Mara"

Mara Major Camp

10/10 Excellent
"Without a doubt, one of the best camps I have ever stayed at! Mara Major camp made our visit to the Masai Mara as special and unforgettable as it could be. It’s a unique ecolodge that works closely with the Maasai community, making your stay meaningful and allowing you to directly support the local community. Another highlight is that the guides are Maasai, and their incredible knowledge of the land and animal behavior leads to unforgettable wildlife encounters. The game drives were truly as good as it gets! A special shoutout to our guide, Sam, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we saw the things we wanted and made our experience truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Mara Major camp enough. If you’re visiting the Masai Mara, this is the place to stay!"

"Mara Hilltop was the highlight of our trip! Amazing location and the Luxury rooms are incredible. Very attentive staff as well - shout out to Steve and Lucy! What surprised me is, even though you're outside the park - it's pretty much the same as being inside the park. The animals are all around, and you get the benefit of walking in the nature with the Maasai guides, etc Highly recommend it!"
