Facing the Talek River, Mara offers elegantly furnished tents on raised platforms, and a terrace with a bar for spotting animals. All rates include 3 game drives a day, and return airstrip transfers.

Mara’s tents include a wooden, 4-poster bed surrounded by a mosquito net. All have a modern, private bathroom with a double vanity, shower, and flush toilets. Tea and coffee making facilities are in each. Amazing place with wonderful facilities and people. We had the pleasure of having Joab as our safari driver, who ensured that we had a memorable and magical first safari. The remaining staff were likewise great from the reception to service at restaurant and our housekeeper, Reuben.

With river views, Emboo River Camp is set in Talek and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

There is a private bathroom with shower in all units, along with free toiletries and bathrobes. From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by Valery and her amazing team. We stayed in a beautifully designed, cozy room (everything inside was chosen with care and filled with comfort) The atmosphere at Emboo is magical: peaceful nature, evenings around the fire on soft poufs under the stars, delicious meals, and a deep connection to the nature. We would especially like to thank: Felix, our safari guide — calm, deeply experienced, and one of the best in his field. He made every game drive feel personal and insightful. Tobin, the photographer, full of passion and soul. Every photo he took captured something deeper than just an image. Rhoda, who looked after us during every breakfast, lunch, and dinner with incredible kindness and attention. And Pedro, who always brought a smile, kindness, and genuine care. he made us feel truly welcomed. The little things made, like hot water bottles waiting in our room at night and even placed in the safari jeep for those chilly early drives. These thoughtful touches left a lasting impression. The entire team at Emboo is united by true hospitality, care for nature, and love for what they do. We’re already home, but our hearts are still with you at Emboo. Wishing the camp and its creators continued joy and prosperity

Located in Masai Mara, Olarro Plains provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with shower in every unit, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. Only the few people staying at the 2 properties can safari on the conservancy. Luckily I had the property to myself and was able to spend most of my time in the bush. The staff were awesome especially the safari guide.

A children's playground can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience at Drunken Elephant Mara From the moment we arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the staff at Drunken Elephant Mara made us feel right at home. The level of service was nothing short of exceptional, with every detail carefully tended to throughout our stay. Special thanks to Newton, whose attentive and friendly approach truly elevated our experience—his hospitality left a lasting impression! The food was absolutely delicious, with each meal perfectly prepared and presented. From hearty breakfasts to exquisite dinners under the stars, the culinary experience rivaled the best we’ve had anywhere. The camp’s environment added a thrilling layer to our adventure. With baboons and hyenas occasionally strolling through the area, it felt like we were genuinely immersed in the wild—exciting, safe, and surreal all at once. The accommodation was both comfortable and authentic, blending rustic charm with all the amenities one could hope for in a luxury safari camp. In short, Drunken Elephant Mara delivered an unforgettable slice of wilderness wrapped in comfort and care. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an adventurous yet refined escape.

Ashnil Mara Camp is situated in the Maasai Mara National Reserve overlooking the Mara River, famous for the wildebeest migration. It features a swimming pool and a souvenir shop.

Great food and so nice. Hope I return one day
