Ashnil Mara Camp

Ashnil Mara Camp is an ideal camp to experience the Masai Mara in comfort. Right by the Mara River, it’s perfect for game drives, with knowledgeable guides like Koech, who take you close to big cats, elephants, and more. The tents are comfortable with private decks, and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. In the evenings, you can unwind by the campfire or enjoy the sounds of the wild from your deck. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

We stayed at ashnil mara camp which I can’t recommend enough! We booked it through our safari company - best memory safaris (highly recommend). It’s right in the park so your drives start as soon as you leave the gate. Food and service was impeccable. We had a personalized server (Joseph), he knew us by name and was lovely. It was mid-range but felt like luxury. The tents were large with amazing bathroom facilities, strong shower pressure and private decks overlooking Mara river. Hippo views all day. Deers and monkeys at the camp. We also joined a sundowner arranged by the camp which was a really lovely experience.

Very good rooms - 2 single beds - exactly how we wanted it! Good range of food choices especially for Indian vegetarians. River flowing behind - we did see some animals. Heard lions and hippos in the early mornings. I wish I had spent more time seeing the property.

Our dream trip to the Maasai Mara finally came true, and the excitement was palpable. After a few short days of planning , Jacky ( Tranquil Expeditions) operating with a few days of notice delivered an itinerary that truly met our needs. 3 nights within the Maasai Mara Reserve next to the Maasai Mara River! Upon confirmation, we prepared for the trip only to be received on the material day by Jacky in a customized tour vehicle and driven by an experience guide. She come with flowers and a few brief notes explaining the route to Ashnil Mara Camp. Francis was extremely knowledgeable of the terrain, reserve and route ensuring that we experience an informative and expect trip . Francis was excellent, beyond the normal stops at view point Mai Mahui, he made sure that we arrived at Ashnil on time paving way for lunch, checking in procedures and and afternoon game drive. For 3 nights we experienced what Jacky via Francis had pieced together , exploratory drives in the Mara Triangle & beyond, tracking and sighting the big five in the Mara and comfortably shifting days through a tight Programme of wild life tracking, game drives and full days safari. Jacky’s safari camp selection was equally beneficial ( Ashnil Mara Camp). We were over run by crocodiles, lions, elephants, wild beasts and much more just by being inside the reserve and having the benefit excellent game drives from an experienced safari tour guide. Ultimately, the highlights are many but form our core belief of how a game drives safari should be run. Tranquil expeditions ensures that our itinerary covered all our initial needs and delivered beyond. Transport, accommodation and hospitality has always been key to an enjoyable safari and this trip experienced the very best from personalized organizational planning to execution. I highly recommend Tranquil Expeditions for their cost efficiency, impact and delivery!

We woke up every morning to the sound of hippos in the river, and that alone is magic to my ears! Loved every thing about the lodge. The buffet and cooking station had so much variety from breakfast throughout dinner. The personnel was lovely and called each guest by name, which made it so personal. The room with river view was exactly what I had dream of, and it was a lovely location deeper inside the park. Drivers stay at the property so makes it very convenient to go in and out for games. I did not use the pool but saw it was a plus for families with kids. As a couple, we found the property very romantic, especially the coffee tables by the river where to enjoy a drink before dinner.

The guides accommodation is pathetic with shower doors missing only torn curtains. The rooms are very small for two beds and the bedsheets are the smallest with poor quality materials Food in the tent for guides is just recycled from the wazungus restaurant and served to guides and left overs reheated again after the freezer storage...pathetic.
