Ashnil Mara Camp

Our first time in Kenya and first time on safari. Ashnil made our trip truly magical. |Edward and Alan were our guides and they were amazing. We saw so many incredible animals - every one was our new favourite. Edward was very respectful to all the animals and we saw everything from baby elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, baby lions, baby hyenas and so many colourful birds! Alan was so lovely to have on board- he is going to make a great tour guide one day! ||Ashnil camp itself is a calm and relaxing environment. Watching the baby hippos and crocodiles from the dining room never got boring. Moses was a fabulous host and looked after us at every meal time. ||The tent we stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable which was needed after a tiring day on the game drives. The noise of the hippos waking us up in the morning, we miss already! We would recommend Ashnil for anyone wanting to explore the Masai Mara.

Ashnil Mara camp was very close to the trails taken during the safari during the day. The rooms were cosy tent like with bathrooms and the bar and restaurant area had a great atmosphere near the river listening to hippos. You can see the mongooses and crocodiles from the lodge too.

My review was overdue! We had a fantastic time at Ashnil. First of all the camp is well located with great views of the river and nature sounds from hippos and other wildlife. Our group of 3 had quite.a few requirements that were met with highly attentive customer service. I had to express breast milk for my baby and our waiter, Amos, diligently and with care stored them for me everyday in a deep freezer 4 times a day. One of us also had over 10 allergies including dairy and gluten which we sent in advance to the camp. Chef Michael and his crew went above and beyond ensuring our friend could enjoy delicious meals and desserts and made sure she didn't miss out. Even though gluten and dairy free desserts can be a challenge, she was surprised by the variety she was presented with. The presentation of the desserts were impressive, they truly went above and beyond. I do have to mention Amos again, we felt at home with his service and genuine care. As he is local to the Masai Mara, he was always willing and happy to explain things we had seen in our game drives. I told him he should be a guide as well. Thank you Ashnil team for making our time in Maasai Mara, a memorable one.

Our stay at Ashnil Mara Camp during our Masai Mara safari was nothing short of exceptional. This resort offers a truly luxurious glamping experience that blends comfort with the raw beauty of nature. The expansive lobby overlooks the Mara River, where you can watch hippos play in the water and hear their calls echoing through the air—an experience we’ll never forget. The evenings were especially magical, spent around a warm bonfire on the beautiful deck, the perfect way to unwind after a thrilling day on safari. The bar served a wide variety of drinks, and the Hot Dawa became our favorite companion for the cool nights. The camps are luxurious and spacious, and the hospitality was top-notch, and special thanks to Kennedy and John for their outstanding service—they were friendly, polite, and always eager to help. The food was delicious with plenty of options, and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous spread of Indian cuisine. Highly recommend Ashnil Mara Camp to anyone looking for a comfortable, immersive, and memorable stay in the heart of the Masai Mara!

My husband and I, and another couple went on safari for both our anniversaries. The Ashnil Mara camp was our second camp we stayed at. The location is perfect for game drives and is right on the Mara river. It's absolutely stunning!||The tents are huge, but as they are canvas can be quite damp and dark as the lights are not very bright inside the tent itself. The bed is very comfortable and are protected with mosquito nets! The camp itself is very large. The main lodge has an open fire pit for the evenings and an open aired sitting area during the days. The food is incredible! Buffet style and a lot of variety.||As the camp is on the river you have access to seeing hippopotamus daily, but you also have the privilege of being woken up by them as they are quite noisy. But it's a pretty cool alarm clock. The camp is solar powered which means access to power at all times and WiFi at the main lodge is pretty good.||Everyone working at the lodge is very kind and helped make our safari very special.||Thanks to everyone at the Ashnil Mara Camp!

Located deep into the Masi Mara this camp is an excellent place to stay. Being far into the reserve gives you a great opportunity to see the animals around the reserve. The staff go incredibly far as an example using hot water bottles to warm the bed in the evening, as the luxury tents are exposed to whatever temperature it is outside. As the camp is by the river you always have the chance to see hippos in the water. The food is a great choice and delicious with lots of variety. Our three day we were mostly hosted via Kim-pye who is friendly, approachable and you can have a laugh with. As the luxury tents are posted around the camp internet is only avaliable at the main reception, bar and restaurant area.

This is a magical place with first class service and a safari experience that is crazy magical. Traveled with my 3 kids wife and mother and stayed 4 days. Recommended.

Rooms look good, nice place, but The power generator runs from 5 morning to 12 midnight. On the guarded parking lot a local crashed in our car, and no one of the guards and staff has seen or heard anything. We had a decicive color mark of the other car, which we have seen the day before on the lot, but nobody of the locals have "never seen a car with that color" We will never come back.
