Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

“Excellent stay enjoyed a lot only problem is the electricity”

The place is well‑located, clean, and the staff are friendly. The electricity is poor; everything runs entirely on generators.

The location is great, with three game drives a day, superb food, and extremely polite, accommodating staff. The overall service quality is very high. Our guide Paul was exceptional, eager to show us all the wildlife, attentive to our wishes, and his deep understanding of the animal world and his ability to anticipate situations far outpaced other guides—something we witnessed firsthand.

The staff were very kind and helpful, the location is excellent, the tents are beautiful and very comfortable, and the bed is very cozy. The restaurant is good, especially with its careful gluten‑free options, and Dorris is super friendly. The only downside was that our tent by the river, though gorgeous, sometimes carried an unpleasant odor from the hippopotamuses right below.

“Asante Sana Mara Intrepids”

Our stay at Mara Intrepids Camp was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our safari driver, Dennis, was outstanding—patient, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the Mara extremely well. What really stood out was his commitment to giving us our own experience rather than simply following the crowds. He took the time to find the right spots, and many of our drives felt incredibly private and secluded. We spent long stretches enjoying the Mara with hardly another vehicle around us, which made the experience feel truly special. Dennis also had an incredible eye for photography. He knew exactly how to position and angle the truck to give us the best possible photos, whether it was using reflections in the water, finding the perfect light, or positioning us to capture the sun in the background. He was always thinking a step ahead and pointing out opportunities we probably would have missed on our own. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and experienced some truly unforgettable moments during our drives. The location of the camp itself is something special. Mara Intrepids sits right along the Talek River, where a resident family of hippos can be seen from the camp. Throughout our stay, we also watched other wildlife moving through and along the river, making even the time spent relaxing at camp feel like part of the safari experience. The entire team at Mara Intrepids was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The food was excellent, and the service at every meal was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and seemed to genuinely care about making sure we were having a great experience. The tents were beautiful—luxurious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. Traveling with kids, one of our favorite touches was the Adventure Club. After hours of sitting in the safari vehicle, the kids could go run around, play, and burn off some energy while we had a chance to relax. It was a fantastic addition for families.

“Ruined my wife’s 40th birthday”

I booked this lodge specifically for my wife’s 40th birthday, ordered a cake in advance, and explicitly asked them to make her stay special. They completely ignored the request. Despite mentioning her birthday to several staff members throughout the trip, not a single person even wished her a happy birthday. The poor service extended to our game drives as well. On our final drive, our guide made zero effort to help us spot a bird we specifically requested, even though it was only a few meters away. He lied and claimed he couldn't drive off-road, despite doing so every other day. To make matters worse, he rushed us back to camp first every single day, returning 15 to 30 minutes earlier than all the other drivers. The lack of attention to detail was appalling. To cap off a disappointing trip, on our final night, they set us up in a separate dining area with cold food without giving us any choice on where we wanted to dine. If you are planning a trip to the Masai Mara and expect great hospitality, look elsewhere. I highly recommend picking another place
