Kambu Mara Camp is situated in Sekenani and offers a bar. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Excellent price to quality ratio and very well located near the gate while remaining super private. The tents and shared toilets are amazingly clean, which is rare for a budget rented camp. You can see giraffes and zebras from your tent, which is incredible. Best of all has to be the staff - Nelson and the team are always ready to help and very friendly. The food by Chef Nelson is excellent and they’re very flexible to dietary restrictions. All in all, I was very glad I chose this place compared to other expensive lodges.

From the very start, Sandra was incredibly helpful and responsive when I messaged her. She made the booking process so smooth and ensured we had everything we need. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with an incredible dance by the team to celebrate our arrival We were there to celebrate my mom's birthday, and the team made it so special! On one of the nights, they surprised her with a beautiful cake and a mini party. Their attention to detail and genuine effort to make her day memorable meant the world to us. The people at the camp truly made our experience extraordinary. Joseph, the owner, was an incredible tour guide who shared his deep knowledge and passion for the area, making every adventure even more exciting. Patrick, Daniel, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, and their kindness and warmth made our stay unforgettable. The food was out of this world! Every meal was a celebration of fresh, flavorful dishes that made dining one of the highlights of our stay. Each bite was prepared with so much care that it felt like a true feast every time. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of nature was a dream come true. The thoughtful details, from the cozy beds to the special birthday decorations, made everything feel so personalized and luxurious. The camp itself was pristine and impeccably maintained, which gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. This camp didn’t just enhance our trip, it became the heart of our Maasai Mara adventure. The warmth, hospitality, and genuine care from the team made it an experience we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a place that combines breathtaking surroundings, amazing people, and unforgettable moments, this is the perfect destination. It also helps that the camp is very close to the gate. Thank you to the entire team, for making our trip so special.
