Mara Leisure Camp

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.......

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.

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....
