        This was our first camp out of about 5 on our Kenya tour and it was by far the best! The location was incredible, having a drink on the deck watching the hippos play and catching the sunset. Grab a Mojito, by far the best one I've tasted. Our room was simply adorable. The food was delicious, and they had good variety. Our waiter Daniel looked after us the whole time and he was amazing!!!! The best waiter I've ever had. He was incredibly attentive and was always interested in our day and what animals we saw. He was always smiling and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of with my dietary requirements. The camp itself was well taken care of and all the staff were incredibly helpful. This camp needs to be on your list. We would have stayed here longer if we knew how amazing it was.

        Excellent!! Amazing place with fantastic staff! They really are so attentive to your needs and the food is great! The tents are spacious and luxurious! Special shout out to johnstone the tour guide who is really knowledgeable and goes out of his way to show you the game reserve and is filled with interesting facts. The cook is amazing and all the staff are friendly! Really was an experience that I won’t forget.

        A hidden gem. Perfect. We spent 3 nights/4 days at Mara Crossings in mid-October 2022. The camp was perfect - luxurious, excellent food, attentive staff, and an amazing location just above two cascading waterfalls full of hippos. The white-noise sound and grunting hippos were lovely at night. The tents were spacious, private, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds, rainfall hot water showers and electricity/plug-ins, both 24 hours. The location was ideal: abundant wildlife just outside of camp (sometimes in the camp too). We were assigned a private land cruiser and an excellent driver. Our driver, Joshua, had an uncanny knack for knowing where to go to get us the best views of rare animals and views. We were very happy that we booked this camp. I had a lot of questions before coming to my first safari, so I’ll share some of what I learned: Location: there’s a reason all the camps are in this section of the park - it’s an excellent location for game drives. Mara Crossings shares the same airstrip with Governor’s and is just south of that area. We came across herds of elephants and several giraffes on the way into camp. Immediately after leaving camp on our first morning game drive, we found three giraffes and an elephant against the sunrise, and then followed around multiple groups of lions that were just around the corner. Migration had left the area behind at this time of year, leaving the “regular” wildlife behind - and that was plentiful. We were alone with the animals most of the time - no other guests or vehicles around. We were able to be as close to the animals as we wanted to be. Crowds: In mid-October, we had near isolation and were often the only vehicles around when observing animals. I think this is partly because we were at Mara Crossings, which is much smaller and more private than other camps. The migration tourists were gone. We spent most of our time alone observing the animals and had a vehicle and driver to ourselves, Mosquitoes: we didn’t notice any mosquitoes at this time of year. The camp was in the low 80s during the day, low-60s at night. Perfect temperatures/weather. Fly or drive in to the safari? It seems like you can only get the truly open-sided safari vehicles if you fly in. Those vehicles stay in the park; if you drive in from Nairobi you may be in a pop-top van or a land cruiser that is enclosed with windows and may share with other guests. Be sure to ask about the vehicle and driver you will get with whatever safari you book. Length of stay: three nights felt just right for a first safari. We would have been disappointed to leave after only one full day. We had two full days in the park and were able to see a lot of variety in animals and scenery. All in all, we were very happy that we made the choice to stay at Mara Crossings and hated to leave it behind. I imagine it’s a good spot for migration season, even though it will be crowded then, because it’s near some of the most interesting crossing points. You can’t go wrong here.

        An Unforgettable Safari Experience at Mara Crossings Camp I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mara Crossings Camp during my safari trip in the Masai Mara National Reserve, and I cannot recommend it enough. The camp is situated in a unique location overlooking the river, offering breath-taking views. It is also strategically located near several wildlife hotspots, making it the perfect base for game drives. The tents are spacious and comfortable, with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas that allow you to fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. The furnishings and decor are tastefully done, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The camp offers a range of amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible, including hot and cold water, charging stations for electronics, and a bar and lounge area where you can relax and unwind after a long day of game viewing. The food at Mara Crossings Camp is simply outstanding. From traditional Kenyan dishes to international cuisine, everything was freshly prepared with the finest ingredients. The staff at Mara Crossings Camp are exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible. A special thank you to Freddie, Kelvin and Gordon. Overall, our stay at Mara Crossings Camp exceeded all our expectations. It is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a luxurious and authentic safari experience in the Masai Mara. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit the region.

        Enjoyed Kenya and Kenyan hospitality as a whole. Mara crossings is located near the site where the great migration takes place. It is next to mara river. 5min drive to main crossing site. Lots of hippos and crocodiles can be viewed from the camp. Staff very friendly. Food good. I would definitely recommend this camp
