"What an amazing way to spend a couple of days in the Masai Mara, the team were super attentive and always willing to help - such a great team. The tents were of a good size and comfortable, - additionally we had a great view of the watering hole in the camp were we could watch animals freely roam to come for a drinking (elephants, zebra and impalas) Food was of good quality with a lot of ingredients from their garden (definitely recommend visiting if you have green fingers ) We had the best Safari guide with Berthwell, he was fantastic and so knowledgable - we got the big five within the first 2 hours, before a lovely bush breakfast! I would love to go back again and highly recommend Entumoto Safari Camp to anyone visiting the Mara"

"Without a doubt, one of the best camps I have ever stayed at! Mara Major camp made our visit to the Masai Mara as special and unforgettable as it could be. It’s a unique ecolodge that works closely with the Maasai community, making your stay meaningful and allowing you to directly support the local community. Another highlight is that the guides are Maasai, and their incredible knowledge of the land and animal behavior leads to unforgettable wildlife encounters. The game drives were truly as good as it gets! A special shoutout to our guide, Sam, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we saw the things we wanted and made our experience truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Mara Major camp enough. If you’re visiting the Masai Mara, this is the place to stay!"
