Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

First of all I want to begin by telling you about our exceptional guide. As soon as we landed he was there to pick us up and greet us with his warm smile and instantly became buddies with my 6 year old son. (This guy really was the defining tone for our trip - he welcomed us in and sent us off and it wasn’t easy to say goodbye) The whole family wants to thank Paul for the most heartwarming and captivating experience you gave us during our Safari drives. We were so so lucky to be with Paul, he has about 20 years of experience as a Safari guide and is an expert at what he’s doing. We all felt super safe the whole time, yet got the thrill of adventure and got in touch with nature 100% of the time as well. To Paul: Most importantly thank you for giving my son the most magical experience that he will never forget ❤️ We are recommending you to all our friends and family, because you were the biggest influence on how beautiful this trip was And as my son told you when saying goodbye: when you visit us in Egypt, Paul, we will be your guide! As for our stay at Mara Intrepid: Duncan gave us the most warm welcome at reception, and from this moment onwards everything was perfect. our fancy camper tent was the coolest thing ever - you are one with nature but still you have all the facilities you need - best of both worlds. The sound of the Talek river when you go to sleep is the best feeling ever. The morning wake up calls with coffee in bed (hot chocolate & cookies for my 6year old) was the perfect way to start getting ready for the mystical early morning safari drive. Each and every staff member was so charming, welcoming and 24/7 super friendly. Working early or late, these people don’t know how not to be all smiles. Chef Tom was my son’s buddy, always joking around with him. Joshua the waiter was the magician that knew what every one of us liked and when, and wouldn’t wait for us to ask whether it was during breakfast or lunch. The gift shop is lovely! Special, good quality finds for all ages! We also got massages right outside our tent by the river! Excellent We went on 2 sundowners after the 2nd safari drive of the day and had the best time. We also went on a bush breakfast and it was out of this world. We were there to celebrate my father in law’s 70th birthday, and the entire staff really made an impression at his birthday dinner, coming in together singing, made him a cake and made our night truly special! I can go on forever telling you about how exceptional our stay was We are all in awe of beautiful Kenya and the Kenyan people. We intend to come back as many times as possible. It is surely the most beautiful place we’ve ever visited. 20/10 kind of experience. ❤️

We stayed for 4 nights in mid July and had an amazing time. The camp itself was spacious, luxurious and not crowded. Our rooms we’re perfect, just as advertised. The safari experience was obviously the highlight, our guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable of the animals and the land. He made our trip truly special. We saw all of the big 5 including the elusive rhino, which Paul hadn’t spotted in the area in 3 months. With his patience and knowledge we saw it on the last day. True safari magic. We will be back some day!

I went with my family this summer and it was the best experience ever. The staff are so welcoming and kind. They helped us with all our needs and catered to what we wanted. Our waitress, Sheila, was the sweetest angel ever. She took care of us and provided us with what we desired. Overall a wonderful hotel and a beautiful environment. I recommend this hotel to whoever wants great scenery, caring staff and delicious food!

We, a family of four with two young children (ages 5 and 3), stayed at Mara Intrepids for five nights, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our dedicated guide and driver, Silas, gave us outstanding game drives every day, and we were fortunate to witness so many incredible moments: a cheetah up close, leopards, lions hunting wildebeests, a crocodile feeding on a zebra, playful baby elephants splashing in the water, and much more. Our children also had a wonderful time exploring within the camp under the care of the resident Maasai naturalists—Debbie, Mark, and Nickson. They learned so much about small creatures, plants, and Maasai culture in a fun and engaging way. Thanks to the kind and attentive hotel staff, we were comfortable and well looked after from sunrise to bedtime every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend Mara Intrepids to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara.
