• Kambu Mara Camp Review Score: 10

  “Kambu Campers Mara Camp is a wonderful lodge, and is highly recommended. Our family of 4 greatly appreciated our stay. The tents and facilities were impeccable, and the food was delicious. Nathan, the owner, is very professional, dependable, attentive and diligent. The personnel are also very friendly and helpful. Nathan has organised our transport from Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a Game Drive in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, a visit to a Masai Village and finally our transport to the Keekorok Airstrip and everything was great and flawless. I would definitely recommend Kambu Campers for your stay, as well as your activities while visiting the Maasai Mara National Reserve.”

  “I liked kind of everything. - Personal had family vibe and they all took great care of us. Even it had this family vibe, it felt very professional and it’s visible that everybody went through extensive training. I really liked clarity about everything, small things like dining experiences (serving woman first, always coming from right side, cuttlery arrangment, dishes introductions, …). - The camp itself feels luxurious, clean, romantic and has this “wild feel”. It gave me “camping experience with a luxury”. It feels even more authentic than on photos as wild animals are getting into camp (everything is safe all the time) - we saw zebras feeding like 3 metres from our tent. - Tent itself was amazing, clean, luxurious, great view, very comfy (I did not expect such comfy bed) with electricity and hot water. One thing to which blow my mind was heated watter bottle every night in a bed, so your bed was preheated to nice temperature when getting in 😊 - Food, food was stunning. Some of the dishes I would not be afraid to compare to Mischelin star restaurants, it was that good. Basically whatever you ate, you could not pick wrong. Also what was pleasant was change of scenery for dinners - on one night we had dinner under the stars - very nice experience.”

• Talek Bush Camp , Masai Mara Review Score: 10

  “I would highly recommend Talek Bush camp to any of my family and friends. We are a family of 5 and were initially cautious about booking such a big holiday independeptly without a tour operator. We were beyond fortunate to come across the highly regarded and recommended Talek Bush Camp. From the moment of our initial enquiry and correspondence with Abdul we could look forward to our trip without hesitation. He was personally available to answer queries in a very timely manner, and assured us he would organise all our game drives to suit our needs. On arrival we received the warmest of welcomes from the whole team who worked tirelessly to ensure a very comfortable and enjoyable stay for all. The camp itself is very well maintained and offers a most relaxed yet safe vibe. The food was delicious and offered a mix of local, Egyptian and European options. All our dietary requirements including coeliac were met. Each morning we took a fabulous homemade breakfast picnic on safarai . Our driver and guide were exceptional with excellent local knowledge of the park and of all the families of animals within it. The camp is located at the gate of the reserve so we arrived within minutes and well ahead of the early morning sunrise. Our accomadation was most pleaseant, we stayed in a luxury tent overlooking the river, and woke in the morning to the sound of Hippos splashing! Our sons had 2 bedrooms in a lodge.The beds were very comfortable with excellent mosquito nets. Security was never an issue and we never felt a need to lock the rooms. Laundry service was available and very much aprreciated. Overall the experience was immersive and authentic, great value for money and we would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Abdul and his team!”
