"Lorian is a cosy small camp with very good staff. Food was good and location excellent...close to the air strip and fairly close to possible sightings.
The Lorian team made the trip memorable with their superb and always helpful attitude.
Will go back on next trip and happy to recommend."
"This is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The beds are very comfortable. The food is absolutely amazing. The staff is so helpful and accommodating, they really made everyday of our trip absolutely wonderful. We will always remember this trip and the special experience we had staying at Mara Major Camp. "
"A brilliant place to stay. Everyone very friendly. John took us round the Masai mara we saw every thing. He really knows his stuff. The food plentiful and delicious."
"Impeccable service from check in to check out. Their attention to detail is unparalleled. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Truly a five star experience. Definitely would come back again and recommend to everyone. "
"Toilets require a good improvement as they are very old with tiles broken and bad smell in water and so. But food once told for vegetarian good food was served. Even regarding staff, they r very cordial and helpful and their dance after dinner really stands as a best part of complete stay"
"We really loved this location. It was our third time in Masai Mara so I can compare to Keekorok and Royal Maison. Royal Maison was nice, but this property is more level and the tents are closer to the reception and each other, yet still quite private. The electricity ran all night long, and there was cell service and data from the tents. The location is great as it is outside the gate of the reserve and very close to it. The food was amazing. So tasty and beautiful presentation. And the...
"Massively impacted by rain floods which made main road leading to and fro the lodge near to impossible to navigate on or over. Rivulets and erosion break offs.
Staff dedicated and committed, food varied and 3-meal buffet style offered plenty of choices.
Accommodation naturally rustic and 'hut-like' as one would expect and seek out on a Safari tour. Electricity generally generator-powered and solar-supported.
Nice rustic setting overall and strong efforts made of daily outdoor maintenance being...
"I cannot say enough good things about Elephant Pepper Camp! I stayed for 4 nights with my wife on an 18 day honeymoon, and out of all the places we stayed, including 5-star hotels in Cairo, Nairobi, Dubai, and the Maldives, we had the best service and the best food of all at Elephant Pepper. We were picked up directly from the Mara North Airstrip and immediately began our safari adventure with a game drive. Each morning we were woken up, given coffee/tea/sweets around the fire, and went on...

"After spending over 30 hours researching camps in Kenya, choosing Masa Major Camp was one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made. It didn’t just live up to the glowing reviews—it far exceeded them.
From the moment I arrived, the experience felt more like joining a warm, welcoming family than simply staying at a lodge. The staff were incredible—attentive, genuinely kind, and made me feel at home every single day.
The game drives were absolutely unforgettable. Our guide seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time, and we saw breathtaking wildlife moments I’ll never forget. Having breakfasts and lunches out in the bush—surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife—made the experience even more magical.
And the food back at camp? Outstanding. Easily on par with (or better than) any five-star restaurant I’ve been to. Every meal felt special, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience that you’ll never want to leave, I cannot recommend Masa Major Camp enough. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve gone."
"We stayed 2 nights, the property was beautiful right in the middle of Masai Mara. The rooms were good except that they were a little too dark. Little more lighting would have been good. We had the presidential suite so we had the whole suite to ourselves which was nice.
Food was good, lot of variety (vegetarian and indian food options).
One downside was power getting cut both nights we were there for a little time."
"We just completed our stay at Mara Intrepid camp. It was an unforgettable experience! Great location right on the Talek River. Excellent food with lots of options (plus a full bar), and the staff really go out of their way to ensure the comfort of each and every guest. The tents have lots of space and all the comforts we are used to at home. If you’re booking a safari game drive with them, do insist on a Toyota Land Cruiser over the Land Rover."
