Fig Tree Camp

We stayed at the Fig Tree Camp in early January as 4 adults.. My wife and I and our Daughters. This was rearranged by our Travel Agent. We had an absolutely Pleasant Experience.||1) Started with the Front Desk Staff.. Wonderful and accommodating. I asked for the Tented Cabins in front of the Hippo Swim area (30% more $), but was given without charge. Kudos for their generosity. Also asked for late checkout, given with no issue.|2) Meals Buffet Style were all delicious with lots of vegetarian options, all tasty. The Dinning staff to include Frederick, were super pleasant. Masai Entertainment Dancers at Dinner were fun.|3) Rooms were simple but very comfortable beds with mosquito netting at night. Our room view was super. Room staff very thorough in cleaning... Need to be aware of Electricity and Hot Water Scheduling.

Stayed here for 4 nights during our honeymoon. Firstly most of the staff were absolutely incredible. So helpful and friendly. Only two occasions that weren't great: firstly on day one I was questioned on the room number i gave when trying to put drinks on our room at the bar because 'I'd come from the wrong direction'. Did not appreciate the accusation, could have checked with me in a better way than accusing me in a confrontational manner. Secondly on our last night I'd been ill for a few days and not eating much but came to dinner and planned to have something light. I was told by the waitress to 'sort myself out' and she seemed annoyed with me for being ill which was just lovely. This leads me to my only complaint with the place, the bottled water in the rooms isn't sealed new ones one but green glass reusable bottles and there needs to be covers over the food in the restaurant as lots of flies were about. This does not take away from the fact we also had incredible customer service, especially from Alvin in the restaurant, Jonathan our guide and Mary on reception. Jonathan managed to show us SO MANY animals it was incredible and we were so lucky! So grateful for his incredible guiding! We also loved doing the hot air balloon experience and the champagne breakfast in the Mara was the most incredible experience. Overall absolutely thrilled with our stay here.

Fig Tree camp exceeded our expectations. If you want to be sleeping right next to the hippo family, ask for room T11! The view from the deck was amazing, you can see so much wildlife just from the room. And the balloon safaris fly right over head in the morning. We had very magical mornings sat drinking our coffee and watching the Mara wake up. ||The room was spotless, bed comfy and had everything you could need. ||The staff were so welcoming, food was tasty and they catered perfectly for us vegetarians. ||The location was perfect too. The safaris start from right within the park so no driving in and out every day. ||We had the perfect stay, and couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Excellent stay for two nights - they were extremely flexible, they can tailor your stay to how you need, no issue with an early check in and they actually encouraged us to checkout later after our balloon flight so that we could freshen up before we left! Sheila on reception was incredibly helpful and Julius was a great game driver - we almost saw the big 5 just on the drive from the airstrip! Food was amazing too! River view tent had a prime spot of the hippos, giraffe and even a crocodile!

My overnight stay at Fig Tree Camp in the Masai Mara was truly unforgettable. Nestled along the banks of the Talek River, the camp offered a perfect blend of comfort and wilderness. The tented accommodations were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing a luxurious touch while still immersing us in the safari experience. The staff were exceptional—welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist. The dining experience was a highlight, with a variety of delicious dishes served fresh and beautifully presented. The camp's proximity to prime wildlife viewing areas was a bonus, making it easy to catch the stunning sights of the Mara, including an incredible sunset. Fig Tree Camp perfectly combines relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal spot for anyone visiting the Masai Mara. I’d absolutely stay there again!

The staff of Fig Tree is mostly members of Maasai Mara tribe. They are extremely welcoming and accommodating. This was our base for animal drives and we saw the big five and so much more. We took the hot air ballloon ride from there and had a marvelous time. The rooms were nice. Beware of the electricity/hot water schedule to not be caught unaware. Most meals were buffet, with a wide selection of delicious foods. They did accommodate for vegetarians. The staff continue to restore the resort to its condition before the spring flooding. It was fascinating watching the style and stamina of the Maasai. Sheila, at the main desk, kept things organized very well and always did so with a beautiful smile. Stella, our server for 4 days, always accommodated the desires of our group (6 people). Security is manned by the Maasai warriors in full native garb. It was a phenomenal 4 days.

Outstanding service and newly renovated rooms, this is a perfect choice inside the Masai Mara, every staff member was lovely, the rooms were excellently clean, and the food was very good every meal. Pool area is beautiful and well maintained. Make sure to do the hot air balloon and breakfast experience right from this hotel!

Our stay at Fig Tree Camps in Masai Mara was a fantastic experience. We stayed in a luxury tent with an incredible view of the Talek River, where hippos can often be seen, and the vast Savannah stretching out in front of us. The setting was breathtaking and truly immersive. A word of advice: make sure to zip up your tent properly before leaving, as the baboons can sometimes cause trouble in the area! The hospitality was top-notch, with the staff being attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. The food was excellent, offering a great variety of delicious options. The pool area was nice, though not extraordinary, but well-maintained. In the evening, we enjoyed a cozy bonfire by the bar — a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. For those looking for an extra adventure, Fig Tree Camps offers a hot air balloon ride, though we didn't opt for it. After a day spent in the Savannah, this place offers a perfect balance of comfort and nature. Highly recommend for a peaceful and enjoyable stay in Masai Mara
