"Amazing experience on the Mara! The most memorable of my travels this year so far. Everything from food to transport and game drives was arranged impeccably. The Masai hosting and guarding us were very nice and cooked delicious food. We saw many animals on the game drives and our driver John was a great guide. Carmen who looks after the hotel was an amazing hostess! I would definitely recommend this camp. It's right on the Mara river so a great place to watch hippos and crocs during...
"Impeccable service from check in to check out. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Truly a five star experience. Definitely would come back again and recommend to everyone. "
"A brilliant place to stay. Everyone very friendly. John took us round the Masai mara we saw every thing. He really knows his stuff. The food plentiful and delicious."
"Fantastiskt bra tented camp alldeles utanför Talek Gate. Nyrenoverat och fräscht. Mycket bekväma tält. Vällagad och god mat serverades i restaurangen. Trerätters fasta menyer för både lunch och middag. USD 20 per person och måltid. "
"Lorian is a cosy small camp with very good staff. Food was good and location excellent...close to the air strip and fairly close to possible sightings.
The Lorian team made the trip memorable with their superb and always helpful attitude.
Will go back on next trip and happy to recommend."
"My friends & I left a piece of our hearts at Il Moran Governors Camp. I have traveled the world, 64 countries & counting and have never had such a beautiful & unique experience as I did at Il Moran. The land and animals of the Masai are breathtaking, but the dedication & service of EACH & EVERY employee at Il Moran make Il Moran Governors Camp what it is and exemplify the hard work, love & spirit of the Kenyan people. I will be recommending Il Moran to everyone I know. A tip, when you visit,...
"Toilets require a good improvement as they are very old with tiles broken and bad smell in water and so. But food once told for vegetarian good food was served. Even regarding staff, they r very cordial and helpful and their dance after dinner really stands as a best part of complete stay"
"Massively impacted by rain floods which made main road leading to and fro the lodge near to impossible to navigate on or over. Rivulets and erosion break offs.
Staff dedicated and committed, food varied and 3-meal buffet style offered plenty of choices.
Accommodation naturally rustic and 'hut-like' as one would expect and seek out on a Safari tour. Electricity generally generator-powered and solar-supported.
Nice rustic setting overall and strong efforts made of daily outdoor maintenance being...

"After spending over 30 hours researching camps in Kenya, choosing Masa Major Camp was one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made. It didn’t just live up to the glowing reviews—it far exceeded them.
From the moment I arrived, the experience felt more like joining a warm, welcoming family than simply staying at a lodge. The staff were incredible—attentive, genuinely kind, and made me feel at home every single day.
The game drives were absolutely unforgettable. Our guide seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time, and we saw breathtaking wildlife moments I’ll never forget. Having breakfasts and lunches out in the bush—surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife—made the experience even more magical.
And the food back at camp? Outstanding. Easily on par with (or better than) any five-star restaurant I’ve been to. Every meal felt special, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience that you’ll never want to leave, I cannot recommend Masa Major Camp enough. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve gone."
"We just completed our stay at Mara Intrepid camp. It was an unforgettable experience! Great location right on the Talek River. Excellent food with lots of options (plus a full bar), and the staff really go out of their way to ensure the comfort of each and every guest. The tents have lots of space and all the comforts we are used to at home. If you’re booking a safari game drive with them, do insist on a Toyota Land Cruiser over the Land Rover."
"This place is awesome! The tented structure was awesome and the bathrooms attached to each structure were modern and clean. After just a few short hours of being there, the Maasai guards knew who we were and where our tent was. At night when it was dark, they would walk with with us shining a light to make sure we could see. The food was 10/10. When I went to the bar and asked for a bottle of water for my room, they brought it to my tent. The whole staff was so friendly and the service was outstanding! I definitely hope to return because it was such a great experience. They also had a really cool traditional Maasai dance one night during dinner. "
"This is a camp so amenities are pretty basic. That is very understandable. If you’re a light sleeper, you might not find the area conducive for you as hippos could get loud at night. My biggest issue with this camp is that by default they would clean the tent and rearrange your stuff. I get that cleaning is essential but as someone who functions in a very specific manner, I’d hate to find out that my things have been rearranged. I talked to the camp manager about this and he wasn’t apologetic at all. He just said there’s nothing he could do. Very rude!"
