“Hands down the best place we’ve ever stayed – and we travel a lot.”

Mara River Camp completely blew us away. From the second we arrived, it just felt special. We were welcomed with hot towels, drinks, a fire already crackling, and comfy chairs set up so we could sit and take it all in – hippos grunting in the river, crocs slipping through the water, even a tiny dik-dik scampering past. Total safari soundtrack. Someone even came over just to check the fire was perfect. That kind of care and thoughtfulness carried through the whole stay – nothing felt rushed, nothing was too much. The staff were genuinely lovely people – friendly, funny, and open to proper conversations, not just polite nods. Dinner that night? Incredible. Cooked for us and genuinely delicious. We came back to our tent to find the bed turned down, a little chocolate on the pillow, and a hot water bottle tucked in like some cosy magic spell. The small touches were everywhere – great toiletries, proper drinking water, everything super clean and well-kept. Sitting out on the terrace at night, hearing the sounds of the bush, feeling totally immersed but also completely comfortable – it’s a feeling we’ll never forget. It felt like we were in the wild, but also completely looked after. They even made us packed lunches for our game drives, and when we got back? “Would you like coffee and cake by the fire?” Yes. Always yes. Followed by wine, snacks, more amazing food, and good company. It just kept getting better. Then the Maasai came and did a traditional dance around the fire – not a cheesy tourist thing, but something genuinely joyful. They got us up to dance and it ended in that rare feeling that you’re part of something. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave. It wasn’t just a nice stay – it was the kind of experience that sticks with you. Proper memories. Special people. A beautiful place that feels like home. Unreal. Couldn't recommend it more.

“Heavenly River location and excellent value for money.”

The location on the river was idyllic. Saw Hippo, crocs, Zebra, Giraffe, Mongoose, Gennet, Waterbuck and bushbabys either in the grounds itself or from the restaurant across the river! The staff were lovely and so attentive. The food was excellent. Pessi the guide was outstanding. Paying per game drive rather than all inclusive.

“Relaxing Atmosphere with Great Staff”

Food, Staff, Game Drive

Nicely appointed boutique camp. It's not inside Mara Conservancy, but not that far too. Location on the river is great

“Incredible experience”

We had a great time at Mara River Camp and I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The camp has luxurious tents right on the Mara River - hippos, crocodiles and giraffes - to name just a few - can be observed right from your own terrace. But the really special thing about this camp is the dedicated and friendly team! I have never felt as welcome in an accommodation as I did at Mara River Camp - Joseph in particular is one that you can't help but fall in love with straight away. But the whole team is simply great and is redefining hospitality. The food and the first-class game drives complete this perfect experience. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for this indescribable experience!

“A fantastic safari camp in a really beautiful location, and great value for money!”

A fantastic safari camp in an absolutely beautiful location, definitely 5*! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and feel more like family! The food is exceptional, and the safari tents are very well appointed, with large comfy beds, and an outside terrace for sitting and watching all the wildlife. The camp is situated on the banks of the Mara River, with so much wildlife all around you, on possibly the most beautiful location along the river. While we were staying we even saw a baby hippo being born! Zebras, mongoose, and vervet monkeys wander through the camp, and across the river elephant, impala and giraffe walk through, and the river is full of wallowing hippos. At night multitudes of weaver birds and storks fly in to roost while you are having your sundowners! There is a lovely clean swimming pool, in a pretty location - great for relaxing with a cool beer! The location of Mara River Camp is also very convenient - with both the gates to the Maasai Mara National Park just a short drive away. We would thoroughly recommend this camp, we had a wonderful and memorable stay here for 3 days, and it's fantastic value for money!

“would come back anytime”

the food is wonderful as well as the waiter

Great staff, really friendly and helpful. The camp is well situated and lots of wildlife around.

Mara River Camp, what an absolute gem we found! The best thing of this resort is absolutely its staff and the service. From day 1 everyone was extremely nice and helpful with us, from Rose - responsible for housekeeping - to the restaurant staff to Ezequiel - the GM - who welcomed us with all the information we needed and he made sure to be a great host every single day. As we were on honeymoon, we were assigned a tent in a very quiet and private spot which we really appreciated. The tent had everything we needed and it was absolutely stunning. We had an amazing view to the river and it was amazing sitting on our porch and seeing monkeys, hippos, crocodiles and birds and waking up with the sound of nature every morning. The food was very very good and they were very accommodating with us by packing lunch and breakfast for those 2 days we left early in the morning to spend the whole day in Mara for the safari. We loved having our Kenyan tea every afternoon in the restaurant terrace overlooking the hippos after a long day out. The last day Rose gave us a gift which we found so sweet, we will have always such great memories of this place and its people!

.This is one of the best places we have stayed at. I want thank Ezikio, Moses, Joseph, Rose and the rest of the staff for making our stay comfortable and special. The location and the camp are excellent.

“Very good location.”

Excellent breakfast, very helpful for booking air flights and pick ups. Very good safari trips.

Staff, including the camp manager, very nice and friendly.

“Really place to hide from the noisy crowdy civilization”

The view from the tents and the restaurant is wonderful. The surrounding mountains are full of wilds and those sounds!
