Entalet Mara Camp

Accoglienza e ospitalita

The camp was new and very well maintained, and staff were excellent, with a very personal level of service. The camp has 3 well appointed tents, and it was also lovely getting to know other residents. The owners/staff organized a bushwalk on our first day, which was peaceful and very pleasant, and the second day we did a full day game drive. That included a picnic breakfast and lunch which was very generous. Dennis was an excellent guide and we captured 4 out of 5 of the big five! The food overall was very good, and very accommodating of our families different dietary needs. I can only imagine this is a challenge for all camps as all food items need to be shipped into the Mara. The portion sizes were just right and service was excellent. There is a good lounge room (which is also a tent of course!) with a pool table, some games and excellent views across the conservancy. This is also where food is served and water/tea/coffee is also available. A special mention to all staff! Especially Likky who took us on the bush walk and was also front of house management.

Nothing

Ideal family option. Great location on the border of the park allowing for convenient access away from the traditional access gates. Excellent chef and cuisine - very good food that exceeded expectations including generous, fresh breakfasts whether on safari or on the outdoor patio overlooking a watering hole. Newer, small camp (currently three well appointed, comfortable tents) owned by photography guides (Geff and Alexia, not on site during our visit) who offer their own safari options. Jamlex was a top notch guide and brother of Geff - he went out of his way to find amazing encounters with wildlife and demonstrated a deep enthusiasm for his profession. Arranging a safari through the camp provides the added convenience of having others organize electronic day passes. Most staff are related to Geff, and have been trained at more established camps. Leaky, head of front of house (and another brother of Geff) did his best to ensure needs of our family with two children were met in a gentle and responsive manner. Over time the camp is seeking to expand its bed offering. Ideal for safari goers looking for an initimate, quality stay at reasonable rates in a relaxed atmosphere. Most camps in the area are notoriously expensive and park fees continue to rise, while pressures from local cattle grazing and poverty/inequality are significant issues. Nevertheless, this is a nice gem that families, independent travellers and others focussed on safari (not needing a pool, gym or other superfluous features) should seek out. Recommended.

We werden netjes en volgens afspraak opgehaald bij de gate door Steve. En fantastisch warm ontvangen door de hele staf. Leke was een toonbeeld van gastvrijheid en zeer zorgzaam en hulpvaardig voor ons allen. We zijn met een gezin met drie oudere kinderen geweest en ook zij waren onder de indruk van alle goede zorgen en de voortreffelijke keuken. Duncan is een zeer goede kok. De tenten zijn degelijk en goed ingericht. En het uitzicht is fantastisch. Hier kom je niets tekort en het is echt een geweldige ervaring. Steve heeft ons ook nog door de Masai Mara gegidst en ons de mooiste plekken en dieren laten zien.
