"Absolutely loved our time at Basecamp. The location is perfect, at the edge of the Masai Mara, we heard the lions at night, while sleeping. The staff all of them, were so friendly and helpful from the front staff to the night guards. Camp on a river, so you see the animals come for water, open view to see them roaming across the river! Perfect setting! So peaceful! The best cook Enoc! You don't want to miss his food! We booked 2 nights and ended up staying three! Loved the Masai Mara,...

"Un sejour de 2 nuits avec une vue extraordinaire et une équipe au petits soins.

"We paid for our stay in full months in advance. When we arrived, the lodge was closed. We were told the owner had passed away. While this is a tragic situation, it is not an excuse for leaving paying guests without any notice. No one contacted us, cancelled our reservation, or arranged alternative accommodation. Instead of relaxing after a long drive, we had to spend the evening urgently searching for somewhere else to sleep. Accepting bookings without informing guests that the property is...

Julia's River Camp

10/10 Excellent

"Like it"

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!"

PrideInn Mara Camp & Cottages

Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

10/10 Excellent

"Another Unforgettable Safari Experience As always, our stay was absolutely amazing. There’s a reason we keep coming back! The staff is truly excellent—they make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Our tent was fantastic, perfectly blending luxury amenities with the raw beauty of the surroundings. The food was wonderful at every meal, and you simply cannot beat the location for safari game drives especially with guide Samson! We saw so much wildlife! Thanks to all of you for making our stay memorable. Can’t wait to return."
