I will start off with the negative. I found most of the Maasai Mara to be a disappointment. This was counter balanced, by an early morning balloon ride which was excellent. NOW... ... on to the positive, we visited in the low season, so no massive herds of Wildebeest, but the hotel was very quiet. The service was out of... More

I have just returned from Ashnil Mara camp. Having been to the Masai Mara twice before, and stayed at Fig Tree Camp, I was looking forward to going there again. Unfortunately, due to the time of year, this wasn’t possible so thanks to Lennox and Martha from Lorika Adventures I arrived at AMC. I don’t even consider camps where many... More

I had lunch at Ashnil Mara in March, it was one of the best meals I have had with a lot of attention and detail to each and every dish served. The rooms and property were of a very high standard, well kept with a wonderful big pool. The Manager Mr Maalim, did everything possible with his staff to make... More

I spent two nights at the camp. Very nice place and very handy for the Mara, food was good, staff friendly (one not so friendly it seems), accommodation very nice with Four Poster netted beds and fans. Even had the EPL on in the bar which was a surprise to me ! However the BIG downside (and major disappointment) was... More

This tent camp is tucked down by the Mara River which offers views of hippos. Even if they're elusive to the eye their bellows make them sound like they're mere yards away. The rooms are good sized and our bathroom was huge and luxurious. An actual Maasai warrior mingles with guests in the evening and the conversation with him is... More

This camp is all you could ask of a lodge while on Safari, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We were greeted by a team of friendly staff with cool wet towels and refreshments when we arrived. Once checked in we were shown to our 'Tent'. Like the accommodation in its sister camp at Samburu, the tents in the Masai... More

Absolute great place. Tents!!! Better than some houses at home!!! Service very good. Food buffet style and generally ok but could do better with some more imagination. The restaurant over looks the river with hippo. The game drives wonderful.

We chose this tented camp for our 3 day safari in the Maasai Mara mostly because of location, but it turned to be a great place to stay! The camp is inside the reserve, so as soon as you leave the hotel grounds you are inside the reserve, which is great for morning game drives specially. The sorroundings are very... More
