10/10 Excellent

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.
Vikas, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

we did your honeymoon here and it was the most amazing experience! can't thank the staff here enough for making super memorable. They should let guests know that are booking that "full board" means fine dining because we were not expecting such high quality food and service. will visit this place again. For game drives make sure you go with Dominic he was amazing!
Nicole, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely fabulous experience. The staff were all so incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were immaculate and our guide on our game drives was exceptional and very knowledgeble. The food was really tasty and there were lots of choices. I would definitely recommend this venue.

Maria Catalina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had the perfect stay at Mara Intrepids. The rooms were charming and the food was delicious. But what really makes the camp special is the people. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and I felt like I was part of a big family even though I was traveling alone. Our guide Ezekiel was magnificent and Lawrence took great care of me in the dining room every day (even charging my phone daily). I can’t wait to return.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Such a great lodge with nice hospitality, the staffs are in general very friendly. The lodge arranged a professional guide giving us the game drives, very well-knowledged for different information about the habitat of animals. We learnt a lot through him! Also, the food that the restaurant served is very nice, staffs are really welcoming that makes you feel like home.
WING YING, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel and staff were excellent. Except, generator power is cut off at midnight. If I had known this prior to booking, it would be a deal breaker.

10/10 Excellent

It was a dream

Let me start by thanking our guide Ezekiel! He was one of a kind and just made our stay enjoyable. When i come back i definitely want him as my guide. The camp was great but its the staff that made it what it is, our room attendant Samuel was one of a kind, always had a smile on his face. Asanteni sana
Nimah, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Excellent all around except the front desk was challenged with being able to have concise and direct communication on multiple occasions. One or two misunderstanding is acceptable, however, this was a chronic issue. For that reason, I will not return. That is unacceptable at this price point to have chronic and constant misunderstandings.

Not really what you pay for

The camp was very nice and the tent is comfortable. Staff were very attentive, especially after an initial negative experience. Food was good but nothing special. Tea, coffee and chocolate were cheap/instant brands and water is not included (first time for me). The condition of the tent is ok, but for the price i would have expected better. Shower head was dirty (even had a spider web) and the shelves were covered with rust. There was also some dirt around the desk area. My first safari was 40 mins late and they lied about trying to get me another driver. Honestly, this is not the service nor the hotel condition that would expect at this price range.

Das Mara Intrepid Camp am Talek-River ist ein kleines Paradies. Sehr gutes Personal und viel zu gutes Essen.
Stefan, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was a truly magical experience. Our driver Michael had a huge amount of knowledge of the Mara and the animals and we saw everything we could have wanted and more! It was wonderful being able to follow the same lions for 3 days and see what they get up to. All the staff were exceptional at the lodge. Our waiter Ngala was very pleasant and helpful. I also had an excellent massage at the lodge and it’s highly recommended to help relax between those bumpy game drives.

Beautiful place and amazing staff

We had a lovely stay at Mara Intrepids. The location is beautiful, food excellent and the staff incredibly friendly and chatty. I would recommend specifically requesting a river view as some views are better than others, and giving your bed preference (either a double or two singles) to avoid disappointment.

Daisy was lovely always smiling throughout our stay as was all the staff so welcoming . Clifford the security was wonderful and the gate security as well .Eric the barman made my day with my local treat from home helping with a little tummy problem I had and he was superb throughout once again the smiling it’s infectious thinking about the staff now makes me smile . Ah my chef Mathew what can say wish I could carry Mathew around he has the broadest most welcoming smile and pleasant face . His colleague Tom was great too helping my lady out with special request . Mary the head of camp was exceptional making the night special with great birthday celebration with lovely cake .Jonathan our main meal attendant was always jovial and very attentive Finally the last but certainly not least William our room caretaker he was magical we wouldn’t see him until the last day but like magic the room would be spotless well prepared whether be for the night or the day , once again his beaming smile warmed my heart .

O hotel fica dentro da reserva masai mara e do quarto (tenda) podemos ouvir alguns animais passando. O quarto é super confortavel e o hotel tem um serviço impecável (comida, staff, game drives). Nosso garçom (julius) e o driver (paul) foram excelentes! Julius sempre com um sorriso no rosto e o Paul sabe tudo de safari! Recomendo!
