Another Unforgettable Safari Experience As always, our stay was absolutely amazing. There’s a reason we keep coming back! The staff is truly excellent—they make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Our tent was fantastic, perfectly blending luxury amenities with the raw beauty of the surroundings. The food was wonderful at every meal, and you simply cannot beat the location for safari game drives especially with guide Samson! We saw so much wildlife! Thanks to all of you for making our stay memorable. Can’t wait to return.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Mara Intrepids - great service...

All the staff at Mara Intrepids made a huge effort to ensure our stay was extra special. The chef even cooked up local Kenyan food for my partner who despaired of always receiving 'Western' food at other hotels.

Perfect in every respect!

The camp is only 5 mins drive from the airstrip you fly into, which saves on transfer costs! The tent is extremely comfortable, even provided with hot water bottles which are filled for you. All the staff and Park guides there are superb - friendly and efficient. The food is delicious and there are plenty of drives available at all times.

Amazing safari adventure

This was my first stay at the intrepids camp and it was an amazing experience. From our fantastic game drives to the hotel service, every experience was beyond my expectations. Great staff and we highly recommend Raph as the game driver. He was well experienced and found us a leopard every day we went out, not to mention all the other amazing animals as well.

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

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.
