He is very polite and helpful; he cares deeply about all the details. He made my stay effortless and was very helpful. I recommend the camp to my friends, and they will definitely book with him.

Located in Talek, Talek Bush Camp, Masai Mara provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Extra facilities include a 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, a tour desk and housekeeping service. We greatly enjoyed our stay. Rooms were very comfortable and cleaned daily to a high standard. Hot water is available on demand or after 6pm. The location is the best thing about the camp, it is right next door to the entrance to the national park so you can get in right when it opens. The camp itself is also frequently visited by animals. We saw crocodiles, hippos, baboons, various species of deer and mongoose to name a few. The owner is friendly and responsive to your needs and even arranged transport to our next accommodation. As a bonus each meal was very delicious and they are flexible with what time you would like to eat. Overall, Talek Bush camp may be lacking some of the frills of the larger lodges but the underlying quality is very high. We felt more comfortable here than at our MUCH more expensive lodge in Amboseli.

At the hotel, all rooms come with a balcony with a garden view. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, rooms at Mara Hilltop also have free WiFi. The units at the accommodation come with a seating area. We had an amazing stay at Mara Hilltop – truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The view was breathtaking, and the tent was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Special thanks to Chef Allan for the delicious meals, and to Lucia and Steve who were always so helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Our game drives were unforgettable with Ken, an excellent driver who made sure we saw the Big 5! In Nairobi, John was also a great driver who took care of us very well. One of the highlights of our trip was the nature walk with Dickson – he was such a knowledgeable and engaging guide, making it an incredible experience. A huge thank you to NJ, a very patient owner who always responded to all my queries, and to Nick, who went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort, even checking in with us on our way home. Everything was so wonderful that we ended up extending our stay. We highly recommend Mara Hilltop Camp to anyone visiting the Masai Mara – you will not be disappointed!

Situated in Talek, Kobe Mara features accommodation with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and garden views.

Some units also have a kitchen equipped with an oven.

Ol Kiombo Airport is 12 km from the property. Kobe Mara was an amazing find from all the places to stay! From the very first email with Lea to Sammy and the team at the camp including our game drive guides, which we booked directly via Kobe Mara - again, a huge ASANTE SANA for making our Masaai Mara trip so memorable! The place is just utterly beautiful! Seeing a zebra, and giraffes right from our tent was such a wondrous experience. All the details of the tent were highly appreciated as well! It felt like being in a movie… Furthermore, the food - especially the fish on a bed of spinach cream and side of mash… It all tasted like “coming home”. You do have your own kitchen too if you prefer. The team on site are always there to help if anything. Easily one of our top favourite stays ever - Highly recommended! <3

At the inn, all rooms come with a desk and a balcony with a garden view. The units at Beats Of Beads Trust come with a private bathroom and bed linen. Just right outside the Sekenani Gate, this place had everything we needed — warm water for showers, reliable WiFi, and great value for money in Masai Mara. Eti was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She gave us directions on how to get there by public transportation, helped us find the best rates for the game drive, arranged an authentic Maasai village visit, and even assisted us in getting a ride back to Nairobi. Thank you so much, Eti! Wishing you and your establishment continued success.
