Guest reviews
"This was the last of four camps we visited while in Kenya. It felt like the original iconic safari experience, riverside, with all the creature comforts. Great guides who knocked themselves out to make sure we saw everything (like a leopard going up a tree to feed on her kill, the wildebeest migration, a pride of 15 lions, you name it we saw it and sometimes multiple times). Really EXCELLENT food at every meal, including those eaten in the bush and truly wonderful, fun hosts. This camp has a very personal touch which, from what I understand, is not easy to come by in the Mara. It was money very well spent, believe me."
