Daisy at reception, Paul in the dining room and Dennis our guide were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Dinner choices ans quality were superb and plenty of choice in the breakfast and lunch buffet. A river view cabin is something everyone should request as it makes for a memorable afternoon chilling out watching the wildlife come to drink.

Our first cabin was a bush view and not nearly as nice/special as our second river view cabin

The most incredible location with the best staff. We stayed for 4 nights in January and can’t rate it highly enough. The staff were amazing. The location is less than 5 minutes from the airstrip. Daisy greeted us when we first arrived with a refreshing drink and asked if we wanted to go straight on Safari after being shown to our rooms. Simon our guide looked after us for 4 days. He always knew where to go and where to get the best angle. He went above and beyond making sure we had a great experience every day. The staff in the hotel were exceptional. Lawrence and Paul generally looked after us in the restaurant and they were amazing. Always friendly and very witty. They made sure my allergies were catered to. The chefs were amazing and cooked some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. There was so much choice every day. Lunch and Dinner was generally a 5 or 7 course extravaganza. We only ever managed a few of the courses as there was so much food. On the last night they organised a private bbq with incredible food. The bar staff were also excellent and knew how to make great cocktails. The tent was gorgeous and cosy and absolutely spotless. Even the veranda overlooking the river was spotless. Not an insect to be seen! The staff put hot water bottles into the bed every night at turn down and the bed and pillows were so comfortable. I had some of the best sleep I’ve ever had. In the mornings we were courteously woken up with hot drinks and biscuits brought to our tent. All in all an amazing place! We did lots of research on all the camps and we’re so glad we booked Mara Intrepids Camp.

My stay here was perfect. I stayed 3 days and 4 nights and it felt like the perfect amount of time to be here. Our staff was amazing the entire time. Our tent is right next to the river, and the camp is in the middle of the park. It was perfect. Going in beginning of January, you may experience a little bit of rain to prepare for. Carolyne at reception is great for any of your needs and so kind to talk to. George is a great chef and great conversation during our meal preparations. All staff was amazing honestly. I highly recommend this camp for your stay. They can book any extras you may want along the way. We got to see every animal of big 5 except the rhino which was understandable why. Stay here for the best service and experience for your safari adventure in Kenya. I will be returing!

No complaints.

Great location. Their focus on making the game drives enjoyable was very visible. I recommend the hotel to get the most out of a limited time visit. We had 3 wonderful days and that seemed like a perfect amount of time.

I wish the there were more options for dinner. I think something other than American/European cuisine would allow people to be more adventurous. Might want to consider have a small dish option for those who are adventurous.

We had an amazing stay at Mara Intrepids. The tents were super comfortable with good quality mattress and pillows. The shower water was hot. The service through the stay was exceptional. You get a dedicated person taking care of cleaning your room, setting up mosquito net at night, bringing bed warmers at night and hot coffee in the morning. The restaurant food was pretty good with a lot of options and our server Mercy was super nice and funny. The game drives are amazing! You can have up to 3 drives a day or combine two of them into a longer 6-7 hour drive. Our driver / guide Raphael was the best - very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to all the great spots and we couldn’t be more happy with him.

It’s rather expensive property but the wine list is very disappointing. For a $1000+/night accommodation most of the wine bottles (with exception of a couple champagne options) are $7 retail bottles. It would be great to highlight more South African wines from the mid- and high range.

A dream come true! What an incredible Safari experience. You couldn’t ask for more and we cannot recommend highly enough. All of the staff members go out of their way to help you have the most incredible experience. Firstly our Safari Guide Dennis was EXCELLENT! Dennis was so knowledgeable, kind and truly looked after us. He could answer all of our questions and went out of his way to ensure we had the best time seeing as many animals as possible. Other names to mention who helped us have a fantastic experience: Pauline, Shillah and Kenneth. We spoke to Diana, Nickson and Jonathan one evening who spoke about their culture and it was brilliant. John always looked after our room so well with hot chocolate in the morning and hot water bottles in our bed. Food was great. The camp is super conveniently located right next to the air strip. Would return in a heartbeat!

from start to finish, Mara intrepids was a beautiful magical experience! this was in large part due to our amazing game drivers, Joab and Mark. They were perfect pair who complemented each other - Joab is the most experienced and knowledgeable driver we could have asked for, and Mark is currently training but you wouldn’t be able to tell - his knowledge, enthusiasm and passion is so clear for all to see. They made an amazing team who were lucky to form a family with for 5 days and see such incredible moments. everyone at reception - daisy and Cecilia- were amazing and so helpful. We can’t wait to go back and for anyone going we can’t recommend Intrepids enough - and request Joab and Mark!

I will always cherish our time at Mara Intrepids. It’s a magical place- lots of small touches to make you feel at home, like a hot water bottle at night and a cup of tea with your wake up call. The food is gourmet, so tasty, well presented and delicious. Our safari guide, Joab, made the experience truly exceptional. Joab taught us so much about wildlife on the Mara, with a big smile and fun sense of humour. It was a pleasure to spend time with someone so passionate about our natural world- thank you Joab for a wonderful time, we will never forget this trip!

Nothing - the camp is exceptional

Safari camp with a swimming pool overlooking the river. Very close to the landing strip. Very convenient location. F&B: very good options on the menu. Changes daily ( a la carte) and when camp is full they set up a buffet. We tried both. Fully enjoyable. Game drives are included. Great value. Excellent experienced guides (Raphael was informative, patient, a careful driver and a great conversationist) The camp staff were super accommodating and very approachable. They brought a fridge to our tent when we informed them there wasn't one. Housekeeping is impeccable, room was spotless at all times. Nice gesture of hot water bottles in the bed at night. Drink requests delivered to the room early in the morning before game drive. A wonderful experience. Excellent overall
