Mara Leisure Camp

Camping is not our thing but this camping was really great, nothing like I expected, room was massive as well as the bathroom, loads of room. It was a tent but some of the walls, (bathroom area) are brick. Place was clean and the staff were really friendly, food was nice and we had the maasai singing to us after food at night, pool area was nice, don’t think it was heated but a few sun beds around it which in the middle of the maasai mara was really nice.

There are so many amazing things I can say about the people and our stay here. My friend and I came here in early December 2024 for 2 nights. |The day we arrived was like something out of your imagination. We were greeted by Joel and the staff and were so welcomed, it felt immediately that we were part of their family. |After our short tour of the main buildings, we were each taken to our "rooms". I was in #1 and frankly I was truly amazed at the accommodations. The rooms was SPOTLESS, so well designed and comfortable. I honestly would have been ok with having my personal belonging shipped to me and never left. They had Wi-Fi signal all over the compound and like most of the Mara, Cell coverage was amazing too. |The food and drink were very good and they had served more food than I was able to finish.|Aside from not having booked more time here, the only thing that I could offer as any sort of criticism was one evening for dinner they had a buffet and while the food was fantastic, there was not enough light to see very well.|Looking over the Talek River, there were multiple hippos that you could hear at all different times and can look right down into from the patio. Incredible.......

Safari Camp located on the edge of the Masai Mara NP, really close to all the safari action. Nicely set up, with both hardside and tent cabins. Quite shaded and cool as well - a nice feature. |Access is across a footbridge over the Talek River. |My cabin was comfortable, with a nice-sized bathroom and a reasonably comfortable bed. The power went off a couple of times overnight but was mostly operable during my stay. The hot water for showers is solar, so it isn't tremendously hot or plentiful, but it was enough for my needs. |There is a nice main pavilion for gathering, with a bar and restaurant. The food is plentiful but not memorable - I think they try too hard to please U.S. tourists' palates when they should be showcasing their own local and regional cuisine. |The staff is friendly and welcoming. They have a spa that gives excellent (they tell me) massages for very cheap prices. There is also a swimming pool that looked clean and usable, but I didn't see anyone using it while I was there. |Overall, a very good experience.

I was blown away upon arrival. It’s such a beautiful place to stay for your safari trip. They welcome you with a warm towel and juice and help you bring your stuff to your room. Our room was clean, beautiful and the safari lodge vibe with a lookout of the river. The beds were so comfortable with fluffy blankets and pillow. We enjoyed each meal that was a buffet with a variety. My friend and I got a massage for only $35/hr and it was one of the best I’ve had. That staff are very friendly . Overall 10/10 experience.

Great tented camp. Good food. Amazing customer services

Mara Leisure Camp was a delightful glamping experience while on our safari trip with EF Go Ahead tours. The accommodations were very spacious canvas tents with wooden platform floors, fully furnished with comfortable beds and chairs, big front porches facing the river, and spacious individual bathrooms built on the back of each tent. The lodge was lovely with a beautiful dining room and bar. The head chef, Dixon, did an excellent job and even provided us with box lunches for a picnic lunch one day while on safari. They also have a beautiful lobby where you can access wifi if you cannot stand to be unplugged in this beautiful place. They even had a beautiful pool in this remote magical place. I will definitely be back !!

This is a magical place to stay. We had two nights here and could have happily stayed much longer! All the staff were so attentive and immediately looked after all our needs. The chef was incredibly enthusiastic and welcoming, really wanting us to enjoy everything he had to offer and never seeming to stop working... We stayed in tented rooms right next to the river, and felt very secure and safe there. There are fences and the area is also patrolled by hotel staff 24/7. The rooms are beautifully furnished and very atmospheric. One tip - a head torch is very useful when packing before sunrise! There is electricity and lighting in the room but even so it was helpful to be able to shine a little more light into the dark corners of my suitcase.... It's also well located for getting out on game drives. Would love to return and maybe I will....

Mara Leisure Camp was an absolutely delightful experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the accommodations were comfortable and well-maintained. The location offered stunning views and a serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The food was delicious, and the activities were well-organized and fun. Overall, it was a super nice stay, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
