Facing the Talek River, Mara offers elegantly furnished tents on raised platforms, and a terrace with a bar for spotting animals. All rates include 3 game drives a day, and return airstrip transfers.

Mara’s tents include a wooden, 4-poster bed surrounded by a mosquito net. All have a modern, private bathroom with a double vanity, shower, and flush toilets. Tea and coffee making facilities are in each.

So special place in nice location on the Talek river, many animals around , hippos and crocodiles monkeys and more. The rooms are very clean and have all the facilities you will need. The food is superb. And the staff are very friendly and always happy to help on all what needs. It’s not my first time in Mara but it’s the best place I have ever stay in Mara.

everything it’s absolutely beautiful, the hotel , location, staff are amazing, super friendly and nothing is a bother. we arrived late day one (our own fault) and on leaving they had a packed lunch ready for us to take as they said we had missed one of our lunches! if your looking for a authentic stay inside the Masai Mara park with the most fantastic setting wrapped around you then 100% recommend the Ashnil. we were a family of 5 - all adults and everyone adored it. lovely big swimming pool with sun lounge area ..

Bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve, Basecamp Masai Mara offers eco-friendly, luxury camping in the heart of the savannah. The basecamp features panoramic views of the surroundings and local wildlife.

Mara Lodges Airport is 50 km away from Masai Mara Basecamp while Ol Kiombo Airstrip is 23.3 km away. Transfers and transport can be arranged for a surcharge.

It was our second visit to Mara NP, but our first time sleeping within these grounds. Waking up with a river view and having zebras or hyenas or giraffes looking right across is mesmerising. The tent was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for three persons. Esmo was assigned to take care of us at meal times and he did a wonderful job. The meals were freshly prepared and very good. It was like a set menu and there was always a vegeterian option. The Masai also made us feel safe in the evening while escorting us.

    Everything, a stunning camp in a lovely location with the friendliest team we have ever had. The welcome at the airstrip to the farewell - was all first class. John (Safari Guide) was incredible and provided some excellent viewing with the lions being incredible. Joshua and Lawrence in the dining area were attentive and charming and provided 5* service. The slide show talk on Masai culture was excellent. Food was brilliant- 4/5 course meals.

    The stay was very good. The tent was new and also the furnitures. The bed was found very comfortable and wide, we slept all nights long except when we woke up and heard the wild animals. The staff made everything to make us feel like home and they were excellent. The lodge is situated just 1 minute from the gate to the Mara. We can strongly recommend this tented camp! Lina and Martin

    We had an amazing stay at Greenwood. Price quality is excellent and I really would not have changed it for a 600 euro a night lodge! Magdy is a super nice person, gave us a free tent upgrade and helped us with everything (safari, balloon flight, rides to Nairobi). The tents are good and the whole camping looks really nice, you can relax in the hammocks, take a swim in the pool and go for a small walk to the river (where you also have amazing sunsets).

    This was a fantastic place to go on safari in the Masai Mara. It was a beautiful location, surrounded by animals, many of which wandered the camp at night. The game drives were very good, lots of information given. We saw everything we wanted to see. The tents are well equipped and comfortable. We had the farthest one away from the lodge but never felt worried or scared by the animals roaming around.

    At the time of our trip, we could get an all-inclusive room in AA lodge cottages for 100 $ per night, which was a value for the money choice compared to campsite offers. With this price, I would say all was good and their pictures are helpful to know what you should expect. The location is just outside of the park, with a short drive to it. They gave us packed lunches for our safari day and the day of our departure.
