“Authentic, incredible food, really kind people”

It's an incredible location - outside the Mara Conservancy so you see huge amounts of animals and can drive to see them - also if you're outside the Conservancy you don't have to pay the 200dollars a day per person fee. That makes a big difference. The team at Enkusero are fantastic - friendly, attentive, kind and William is a great guide and host. The tents are clean and the meals are incredible. The lodge is an eco lodge , so if it's raining, you may be waiting on electricity! And there is little else to do than your game drives - there is tents, incredible food, and that's it. I'd recommend this place if you'd like an authentic experience and if you're prepared not to be pampered / entertained. The drives are all included except on your last day. This saves a huge amount in comparison to other lodges where you're booking per person.

“Tented camp in fantastic location, true safari experience, great value for money.”

Small (3 tents, one of which is a large family tent), intimate, charming camp, unfenced, ideally located, in the north conservancy, just 5 minutes from the Maasai Mara’s Musiara gate entrance, 15 minutes from the air strip. Completely local ownership and management, which we highly value and one of the reasons we chose this, together with the location and the small size. We had tent 3, high on stilts, large, private, wooden floors, huge netted windows, outside deck all around, unobstructed views on the savannah. Big comfortable bed with good mattress, en-suite bathroom with toilet and huge shower, running water. Electricity and hot water are solar - electricity is around the clock, so maybe the camp tops it up at night with a generator, but we never heard one. Large, charming traditional mess tent, with bar area, and extra lounge, wonderful outdoor deck with fire pit, small plunge pool with deck chairs. Food was excellent, they will apparently cater to dietary needs but have a fixed menu. Most meals in the mess tent, some scenically set in the bush. All drinks were included as was daily laundry. Highly knowledgeable and dedicated guides (William the owner, and Alex), game drives were mostly inside the park and arranged as and when we wished, with picnic breakfast and/or lunch, or not, as we wished. Park fees were included which made the offer we got superb value for money. We had been on safari several times almost 4 decades ago when luxury safaris were mobile or semi-permanent tented camps, small, unfenced, only with simple drop toilets and hot bucket showers, communication only via radio, bush cooking, communal mess tent and fire pit… but with an abundance of local staff delivering perfect, exclusive service. That’s the feeling we were looking for again and this is the closest we found on our trip to Kenya: very similar traditional, exclusive safari feeling , experience and charm, with great service, modern comforts, but no excesses and low imprint.

“Book immediately, you won’t regret it!!”

INCREDIBLE! All the pictures on booking.com, their website & on social media could not do Enkusero Mara justice, we could not fault any part of our stay. More so William, Amos, Bise, Alex & Dominic made us feel at home the moment we were picked up from the airstrip. The food was absolutely divine, our bedrooms were beautiful & the game drives were out of this world, we saw everything & more. We wish we could have extended our stay, but we will most definitely be back. Thank you so much Enkusero family, we miss you all already!

Private experience with amazing food and very attentive service

“First visit to Masai Mara but thanks to everyone in this camp, we had great experience.”

Very clean and well organized. Staffs are very kind and supportive.

“Perfect for a secluded accomodation in the middle of the Mara for good value for money.”

The camp is very secluded in a perfect location with only two tents. The tents are spacious and nicely decorated, the food and the presentation of the courses are above average. The staff is very polite and helpful, a little shy/reserved though to communicate with you. The game drives and park entrance fees are included in the accomodation fee which makes you save a good amount of money for the same game drive experience. Sitting by the camp fire is really nice but you have to be back at the camp at 6 pm which limits your game drive. Kids are very welcome, they enjoyed every second of their stay at Enkusero. We all enjoyed our total stay and have been lucky enough to see the 4/5 of the African Big 5. The camp is owned and managed by Maasai people, a real local experience rather than a hotel like stay with lots of people around and open buffet queues. William is the perfect guide and very knowledgable. Thank you all.

“Heaven on earth”

This is the best lodge in all the Mara, the staff is very welcoming, they really make you feel home. The food is excellent worth a Michelin restaurant, everything is home made and fresh. The lodges are fully equipped and have a wonderful view. William is the best host ever, he is attentive to his guests needs and do everything possible to make them feel special.

“Excellent, Fabulous, Superb ! A dream stay !”

Enkusero is a small boutique camp, owned and run by William who is a local Masai, a passionate host and an excellent guide with15 years of experience. He took us for tailor- made safaris and went out of his way to show us the Big Five and countless other wonderful creatures. The location was fantastic and ideally located to visit the Masai Mara reserve. Our tent was luxurious and beautifully furnished . They had wooden decks with large verandas, for us to enjoy the sight of zebras, wildebeest and gazelles that grazed and freely roamed around the camp. The camp was exclusive and intimate in character with 3-4 luxury tents, perfect for one large or two small families. The food was par excellence . Robert is a fabulous chef who delighted in serving us exquisite dishes, most beautifully presented. We were quite apprehensive of food as we are vegetarians but it seemed no trouble for the skilled chef. The team, service and hospitality was superb. We took packed breakfast on most morning game drives. They were delicious and plentiful. I would like to make a special mention of the bush dinner with camp fire and lanterns which was really spectacular. William also organised sundowner drinks and it was simply humbling watching the sunset in the vast, peaceful setting of the Mara. We thoroughly enjoyed a visit to the traditional village of the Masai community, which William was happy to organise. To add to all this, the money spent at the camp directly benefits the local Masai community as it provides direct employment and there are no middlemen involved. We stayed 5 nights and each day was above all our expectations. Fantastic place where to stay if you want to be in the middle of wilderness and at the same time feel safe, special and be treated like royalty. Big Thank You to William and his team for making our stay so special and memorable.
