Fig Tree Camp

I had an amazing stay with my family at this hotel.|The location is absolutely incredible — right in the heart of the savannah, with the chance to see many animals just around the hotel. And I’m not even talking about the rooms, which offer a breathtaking view of the lake where hippos can be seen throughout the day — a truly unique experience.||The food was of excellent quality, and the breakfast boxes provided for early morning departures were a fantastic touch.||But what really made the difference was the team: from A to Z, everyone was kind, attentive, and always ready to help.||A big thank you to Sammy, James, Benson, Sheila, Mary, Sadera, and the whole team — you were absolutely amazing!

The staff, food,tent and reception/bar/ patio area really good. Now! I've been to mara a hundred times. Seen the place, but never stopped in. These accommodations needed to be 4 meters apart. A lot of disturbance from a lot of inconsiderate people. Maybe the camp could remind people about this behavior. The biggest issue, the person running the place. Separating my driver and I at meals for no reason. Even wanting me to pay an extra 2000 kns to sit with me. Felt like being swindled. Yes it was a huge deal. Way more than you know. It was decided about 24hrs before check out, the driver can join you. I thought, great im really happy until. A camp staffer agreed to join in a short end of day game drive. For some reason the same person was out in the parking making sure that staffer didn't go with us. It was weird. After spending 4nts there and leaving in the morning. My stay was totally disregarding. The first night, I decided never again. It was BS. The place isn't worth the smothering of that, and inconsiderate demanding people everywhere. Even in low season, never mind high season. Been doing safaris since 99. My stays never went like this.

We liked the stay in the fig tree camp very much. It is clean, cozy, nicely designed in every corner.||A view of the hippo and crocodile from the camp, and being visited by monkeys and bush baby definitely fascinated us. A lot of animals can be seen just outside the camp. ||The stuff are all friendly and helpful. Food is delicious.

Absolutely exceptional experience! The service at Fig Tree Camp is truly world-class—every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and cared for. The food was a standout highlight: every meal was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with the freshest ingredients. From sunrise breakfasts to candlelit dinners by the river, everything was perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and unforgettable dining in the heart of the Mara!

Best location - you start spotting animals as soon as you step out and start the safari. The hippos were right there in the river in front of our camp and their sounds kept us on toes and sometimes awake at night. The food was decent and the staff was very cordial. If you are in Masai Mara this is the best spot for safaris. The balloon safari with the breakfast is such a pretty and satiating experience, highly recommended.

Upon arrival, I was a bit skeptical about the five-star ratings and the overall vibe of the place. However, I must say, my initial impressions were completely turned around. The accommodation, while rustic, is nothing short of outstanding. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, providing everything one could need after a long day of safari adventures. Hot showers are a blessing, and the flushing toilets are a welcome convenience. The food deserves a special mention too. Whether it was breakfast, packed safari lunches, or dinners, each meal was amazing. And the staff…They couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating. We woke up to 4:30am hippo pods jumping into the water and playing. The vervet monkeys are always hanging around and are just adorable. We even had an hartebeest come and sit outside our tent. Overall, our group of 6 had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it to others when visiting the Masai Mara.

My three-night stay at Mara Fig Tree Camp was nothing short of wow! From the moment I arrived, I was completely blown away by the stunning setting,nestled right along the Talek River, with wildlife literally a stone’s throw away. The camp blends luxury with that wild, untamed charm of the Masai Mara, and every detail,from the warm welcome to the delicious meals,was handled with care.||What made the experience even more special were the incredible people I met along the way. A big shout-out to Mr. Saitoti and Sheila new friends who turned my safari into something truly memorable. From campfire chats to spotting lions on the game drives, every moment felt like magic shared with kindred spirits.||If you're looking for a place that gives you comfort, adventure, and authentic connections, I can't recommend Mara Fig Tree Camp enough. I’ll definitely be back!

Fig Tree Camp is beautiful! We loved our stay. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our room was comfortable. We would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in the room, but they were provided in the bar area. No power or hot water at certain times but this didn’t bother us. We had enough power to charge our cameras and phones so we were happy. The beds were comfortable. The food was great, with a lot of choices to cover likes and food preferences. We had the same waiter for each meal and I wish I could remember his name - he was brilliant! The owner visited each table at dinner to speak to guests and I thought that was a great touch. I loved the outdoor dining and the Maasai dancers who performed each night. We saw a genet right next to our table and our waiter pointed out some bush babies to us too! Being right in the reserve was excellent too. We loved seeing the hippos, crocs, and monkeys in camp. |We would definitely stay at Fig Tree Camp again.
