a once in a lifetime trip! I’ve visited over 59 countries and the Mara Explorer Camp was one of the few times I’ve had my breath taken away. Being just INCHES away from Elephants and Lions to eating under the stars with the some of the finest foods. Well worth the price, far exceeded expectations, will 1000% book again

This location far exceeded my expectations. The tent was stunning and cozy, and every meal was a delight. I was grateful to personally thank the chef each day for his exceptional cuisine. All the tours and excursions were memorable. This camp is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime destination. Understandably, my now fiancé chose to propose on our tent's patio, with hippos as our witnesses. Lawrence was a standout, offering attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and humorous service. We adored him, and he is a major reason we plan to return. Also, a big thanks to our driver, Dominic, who helped us spot zebras, a cheetah, and a leopard all within an hour. I wish I could rate this place higher. Although I've traveled extensively, this has quickly become my top destination.

This was an amazing experience. We loved staying here, the crew made us feel so special, it was our 30 anniversary and they gave us a cake and took great care of us when we had a flat tire. The chef and staff (Lawrence) were the best of our trip, so so yummy! Mary helped us with anything and Duncan our game drive guide was great!! I was worried about staying in a tent but it was luxurious and how amazing it was to see hippos and elephants and giraffes right from our room. And to hear them at night including lions, gave us the true safari experience with all the creature comforts of home. I can't recommend this place enough, if your going to the Masa Mara, Kenya this is the place to stay!

The staff is great. But, beware the hippo's in the river are extremely loud. Blowing and snorting all night. A deal breaker for me.

I had a great time here. The service was great, and our waiter, Lawerence, had a great sense of humor. Mara explorer was a great place to go for game drives with family, and they had views overlooking the hippos in the river below. We had great food, bonfires, and saw so much during our game drives!

Magical life experience
My wife and I stayed at Mara Explorer for 6 nights in September 2023. This was our third Safari in Kenya.
The Mara Explorer is the most magical and enchanting location for a safari I could ever imagine.
Everything was impeccable - the amazingly friendly and professional staff, wonderful hospitality, service, and beautiful food.
The tents are an absolute privilege to stay in, especially being woken up to the hippo chorus at each morning! The bed was so comfy - I slept like never before.
The drives were just incredible! Witnessing the migration at its peak was a humbling experience. We saw numerous spectacular crossings and the big five.
A huge thank you to everyone at Mara Explorer, especially Dominic our guide. Spending several hours a day with him for 6 days was a joy and he tirelessly ensured we found a rhino (on our very last drive!). He is a true gentleman and an expert wildlife guide. I have never experienced 4x4 driving like his - we didn't get stuck once in sometimes very challenging conditions and always made us feel safe and comfortable - as did everyone at the camp.
To sum up. If you want a dream 5-star Masai mara safari, choose Mara Explorer.

I can honestly say this was one of my top life experiences. The Mara Explorer Camp is the perfect Safari destination! The staff were very attentive and helpful. Pauline and Geoffrey made sure our stay was comfortable and helped us plan any extra activities. Thanks for the surprise Masai dance and cake! The tents were luxurious and comfy with beautiful decor. There was so much beautiful scenery and wildlife surrounding the camp to enjoy while having a cup of tea. The food was also amazing!! Thank you Chef! We had full board with three course lunches and dinners with plenty of variety. The Camp is perfectly located within the Masai Mara so we had a chance to see so many animals during our stay. Many thanks to our safari guide Samson who was incredible and worked so hard to spot the Big 5. We had so much fun during our game drives with Samson who was the perfect guide and amazing company! The camp is not fenced, but we felt very safe thanks to security guards Sammy and Kaka. Thank you very much to the amazing staff of Mara Explorer for making our stay unforgettable and exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!
