Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

這是真正的Safari。有住帳篷的感受，又舒適、又衛生、又安全。每餐飯都是精心炮製的fine dining 。服務人員除了專業外，還十分用心。令你有真正賓至如歸的感覺。去了那麼多地方Safari，這是最最難忘的一次。要來住最少要三個晚上才可以享受真正肯尼亞原野的Safari感受。

First of all I want to begin by telling you about our exceptional guide. As soon as we landed he was there to pick us up and greet us with his warm smile and instantly became buddies with my 6 year old son. (This guy really was the defining tone for our trip - he welcomed us in and sent us off and it wasn’t easy to say goodbye) The whole family wants to thank Paul for the most heartwarming and captivating experience you gave us during our Safari drives. We were so so lucky to be with Paul, he has about 20 years of experience as a Safari guide and is an expert at what he’s doing. We all felt super safe the whole time, yet got the thrill of adventure and got in touch with nature 100% of the time as well. To Paul: Most importantly thank you for giving my son the most magical experience that he will never forget ❤️ We are recommending you to all our friends and family, because you were the biggest influence on how beautiful this trip was And as my son told you when saying goodbye: when you visit us in Egypt, Paul, we will be your guide! As for our stay at Mara Intrepid: Duncan gave us the most warm welcome at reception, and from this moment onwards everything was perfect. our fancy camper tent was the coolest thing ever - you are one with nature but still you have all the facilities you need - best of both worlds. The sound of the Talek river when you go to sleep is the best feeling ever. The morning wake up calls with coffee in bed (hot chocolate & cookies for my 6year old) was the perfect way to start getting ready for the mystical early morning safari drive. Each and every staff member was so charming, welcoming and 24/7 super friendly. Working early or late, these people don’t know how not to be all smiles. Chef Tom was my son’s buddy, always joking around with him. Joshua the waiter was the magician that knew what every one of us liked and when, and wouldn’t wait for us to ask whether it was during breakfast or lunch. The gift shop is lovely! Special, good quality finds for all ages! We also got massages right outside our tent by the river! Excellent We went on 2 sundowners after the 2nd safari drive of the day and had the best time. We also went on a bush breakfast and it was out of this world. We were there to celebrate my father in law’s 70th birthday, and the entire staff really made an impression at his birthday dinner, coming in together singing, made him a cake and made our night truly special! I can go on forever telling you about how exceptional our stay was We are all in awe of beautiful Kenya and the Kenyan people. We intend to come back as many times as possible. It is surely the most beautiful place we’ve ever visited. 20/10 kind of experience. ❤️

Mara Intrepids camp was a wonderful stay for our safari. All accommodations are included in the stay. Our game drive tour guide Simon was practically on call all day for our drives. Simon was very knowledgeable of the reserve and the animals. In 3 days we were able to see a majority of the animals we expected to see. The trip exceeded our expectations. The room and amenities were luxurious.

We cannot recommend Mara intrepids enough. We had a beautiful experience in large part due to our game drivers Joab and Mark who made the perfect pair who complemented each other. We were lucky to see such incredible moments and animals with them and form a family for 5 days. We packed our breakfasts everyday to do long drives and had bush breakfasts which really immersed ourselves in nature. Joab and Mark were so knowledgeable and passionate about all elements of nature. They made our trip an unforgettable adventure and we can’t wait to go back to see them! Everyone at reception, including Daisy and Cecilia, and our servers, including Vivian, were all so helpful and amazing. The grounds are beautiful - the infinity pool is really amazing and the location is perfect in the middle of the bush. Choose intrepids for a stay you won’t forget and request Joab and Mark!!!!

Fantastic stay and staff were absolutely wonderful. My second stay with Mara and I highly recommend. Tents are fabulous - I could permanently live in them. Food was amazing and on our last night we were given special Kenyan dish. Silas Siele drove us around (my 2nd time with Silas as my safari guide. He is easygoing, informative and thoughtful. Felt very comfortable with Silas. He made our Masai Mara experience exceptional. Will definitely request him to drive me around again. The nightly talks were great. Thanks Silas, Gregory, Daisy, Metrine, Elkanah, Jonathon and everyone else who made the trip special.

We had an absolutely amazing stay and safari experience at Mara Intrepids. This was our second stay at the same lodge and we certainly don't regret having come back! Terry at the Heritage Hotels reservation desk made a great start to the service levels with a very smooth reservation experience. The cab service that he arranged between airports at Nairobi was very prompt and professional. The domestic flights were smooth (there was one change of flight on the way in and a direct flight on the way out but both were operated smoothly and on time). Once we got to Mara Intrepids, the hospitality was impeccable. We had a nice room right by the Talek river - at different points in time during the stay, we could spot a crocodile sun bathing, a hippo taking a dip and a bushbuck curiously looking at the room. The room was fairly large with good amenities. In all aspects of our stay we were so well taken care of - the tent with the oh so wonderful hot water bags at turn down by housekeeping, the wake up visit to the room with coffee/tea, the restaurant staff, the lip smacking food - every little detail was so wonderfully attended to. The restaurant staff even had a little song and dance cake ceremony at our last meal - it really made us feel special. As for the safaris, we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Samson - incredibly knowledgeable about the savanna and its flora and fauna, he made every safari ride an amazing experience for us. He was courteous, friendly and had a wealth of information to share on every ride. He knew the animals in the area like the back of his palm and could predict what they would do next. He always positioned our vehicle to help us get the best view, at the same time, respecting the forest and other jeeps, if any. Thanks to him, we had some amazing sightings and heard some interesting stories of the Mara. The staff attended to our every need- in addition to Samson, some names that we would particularly mention are - Sylvester, Sheila, Geoffery, Chef Francis Bella standing in for Chef Oguma (all from the restuarant), Mary, Debbie (reception), John (housekeeping), Clifford (security), and Gilbert (who helped me with the twist in my ankle). We returned with fabulous wildlife memories which we will cherish for a long time to come. And we are already looking forward to visiting again!
