Hotels near Kichwa Tembo Airstrip (KTJ), Masai Mara

Peal mara was excellent! super friendly staff, responsive, polite, helpful. The tent was luxurious, clean, comfortable, safe! There were people walking us back and forth in case wildlife appears in the way. Sunset and sunset views were also top. The people working there are always available to accommodate your every need. The whole place is built in respect to the surrounding nature. The safari driver, Sietoti, and Rachel, a trainee, were experienced and educated, and was able to identify every corner of Maasai Mara and provide rich information about nature and wildlife during our daily safari game drives. A truly amazing duo who made our trip unforgettable. They really took care of us. Also, the food was delicious, chef was excellent! I would definitely go back again!

We had a wonderful stay at Neptune Rianta. The accommodation was perfect, beautiful tented accommodation overlooking the river, woken by hippos every morning. The staff were outstanding, friendly and efficient, in particular, Daisy our wonderful waitress, Daniel our friendly butler and Daniel our masai safari guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations in every way. Daniel ensured we found every animal, providing us with detailed information and was so much fun to be with!

I really enjoyed my stay at Mara River Lodge. Its unique location made me feel incredibly connected to nature. Waking up and going to bed hearing hippos communicating to each other was an amazing experience. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. On the day of my boyfriend's birthday the whole staff came out of the kitchen to sing and dance songs to celebrate his birthday. They made our experience unforgettable! We particularly enjoyed our chats with William who is incredibly sweet and welcoming and made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend this place to fellow travellers!

Everything was just perfect, better than we expected. This place is created by kindest people, who took care of us from the very beginning to the very end - Alex (intern who accompanied us during the game drives), Daisy, Joshua, Sylvester, Geoffrey, Melody, Mark, Paul, Brian, John and all others. Our special thanks go to Sakut, our Masai tour guide who is doing amazing job. During our Game drives we saw hippos, many, many lions, leopard (3 times!), cheetah, antelopes, gnus, pumbas, gazelles, topis, impalas, black buffalo’s, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, and many others. He knows everything about animals, and told us a lot about Masai culture. If you decide to stay at Mara Intrepids, ask for Sakut, he’ll make sure your stay will be unforgettable like ours. We will definitely come back for a great migration.

The facilities available in such an isolated place were amazing! The staff were friendly, happy and very attentive. The rooms and beds were most comfortable. The animals to be seen on safari, begin practically on your doorstep. Wonderful views too!

everything it’s absolutely beautiful, the hotel , location, staff are amazing, super friendly and nothing is a bother. we arrived late day one (our own fault) and on leaving they had a packed lunch ready for us to take as they said we had missed one of our lunches! if your looking for a authentic stay inside the Masai Mara park with the most fantastic setting wrapped around you then 100% recommend the Ashnil. we were a family of 5 - all adults and everyone adored it. lovely big swimming pool with sun lounge area ..

Everything! The location. The accommodation. The food. The service. The staff.

Small (3 tents, one of which is a large family tent), intimate, charming camp, unfenced, ideally located, in the north conservancy, just 5 minutes from the Maasai Mara’s Musiara gate entrance, 15 minutes from the air strip. Completely local ownership and management, which we highly value and one of the reasons we chose this, together with the location and the small size. We had tent 3, high on stilts, large, private, wooden floors, huge netted windows, outside deck all around, unobstructed views on the savannah. Big comfortable bed with good mattress, en-suite bathroom with toilet and huge shower, running water. Electricity and hot water are solar - electricity is around the clock, so maybe the camp tops it up at night with a generator, but we never heard one. Large, charming traditional mess tent, with bar area, and extra lounge, wonderful outdoor deck with fire pit, small plunge pool with deck chairs. Food was excellent, they will apparently cater to dietary needs but have a fixed menu. Most meals in the mess tent, some scenically set in the bush. All drinks were included as was daily laundry. Highly knowledgeable and dedicated guides (William the owner, and Alex), game drives were mostly inside the park and arranged as and when we wished, with picnic breakfast and/or lunch, or not, as we wished. Park fees were included which made the offer we got superb value for money. We had been on safari several times almost 4 decades ago when luxury safaris were mobile or semi-permanent tented camps, small, unfenced, only with simple drop toilets and hot bucket showers, communication only via radio, bush cooking, communal mess tent and fire pit… but with an abundance of local staff delivering perfect, exclusive service. That’s the feeling we were looking for again and this is the closest we found on our trip to Kenya: very similar traditional, exclusive safari feeling , experience and charm, with great service, modern comforts, but no excesses and low imprint.

We had a great time at Mara River Camp and I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The camp has luxurious tents right on the Mara River - hippos, crocodiles and giraffes - to name just a few - can be observed right from your own terrace. But the really special thing about this camp is the dedicated and friendly team! I have never felt as welcome in an accommodation as I did at Mara River Camp - Joseph in particular is one that you can't help but fall in love with straight away. But the whole team is simply great and is redefining hospitality. The food and the first-class game drives complete this perfect experience. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for this indescribable experience!

It's an excellent place in the heart of safari. The staff was very helping. The food was good. The tent cottage was very spacious and spotless clean.
