  Fantastic!! - We had a great stay with a very friendly staff, a perfect organisation, a perfect view, a perfect service and delicious food. Thanks again to all of you.

  Fabulous - Loved this camp, spectacularly location, great views and personalised service. Highly recommend to anyone planning to explore Mara Triangle.

  A great camp with a great team - We stayed here as a family (children 6 years and 9 years) for three nights. It was an unforgettable, great and very special stay. The whole team is incredibly friendly,... Read more open and especially child-friendly. All wishes were fulfilled, the food is excellent, thank you to Polly and Ruth from the kitchen. We did the game drives with John, he was super friendly and always knew where to see the animals, could tell many exciting stories about the animals and you can notice his decades of experience.
Joel and Oskar supervised us at camp and we did a great Nature Walk with Emanuel.
Overall a really great trip and also recommended with children.
In the evening we got hot water bottles in bed, so we also had warm beds at night.

  Fantastic Stay at Mara Siria - My adult son and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at Mara Siria, and I can recommend it very highly. At every step of the way from our online... Read more communications with the reservations team to arriving at the camp itself, everyone on the staff was warm, professional, and accommodating. The food was excellent, and our tent with two twin beds was very comfortable. The setting and views were even more beautiful than the photos online convey, and it was an easy and scenic drive to the park gate. We did two days of game drives, which were just out of this world incredible. I particularly have to commend our driver (John) and our guide (Oscar) for their knowledge and skill in locating animals and sharing information about what we were seeing, and we greatly appreciated that they took care to be sensitive to the animals and not crowd or chase after them. While there is always a tension between the economic benefits versus the environmental impact of tourism, we observed that Mara Siria works hard to get this balance right and appreciated that. I will also note that while I personally found the camp very comfortable, it might be a challenge for those with mobility issues, because you have to walk on uneven surfaces (and at night with only flashlights to guide you) between the main part of the camp and your tent, and the bathroom floor in our tent was made of stones and was therefore uneven. The showers are attached to the tents but are outdoors under an open sky, and hot water is delivered upon request, which again is just something to be aware of. Bring plenty of cash and tip the staff generously -- they were on site from early in the morning to late at night making things run smoothly and I think they earn every shilling!

  Beautiful view over the Masai Mara - Beautiful tented camp without fences, above the Masai Mara. Great view into the endless expanse, even from the small but fine infinity pool. The beautifully landscaped camp is surrounded by... Read more nature and every now and then there are even animal visits, so we actually had a zebra on the terrace. The camp staff is very warm and accommodating. You feel right at home and welcome. The family camp was a highlight on our Kenya Safari and the perfect starting point for a game drive into the Masai Mara.

  Warm Staff, Incredible Guiding, Perfect Experience  - My husband and I made our way back to Kenya after 14 years. This time with our 3 boys. We have always brought our friends and family to Mara Siria... Read more and were so excited to finally bring our children for our fourth stay at Mara Siria Camp! We honestly wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else in the Masai Mara. The warmth of the staff, Polly, Emmanuel, Oscar, and Joel, made our family feel so welcome. The food was impeccable and thoughtfully catered to our dietary needs, and the guiding was truly outstanding. An unforgettable stay from start to finish! Jacob, our safari guide, was patient, knowledgeable, and deeply connected with the animals, he made every drive unforgettable. Mara Siria is incredibly eco friendly, it is simple luxury and one of a kind- comfortable, welcoming, and magical in every way.

  Unforgatble stay  - From the moment we arrived at Mara Siria Camp, we were treated like absolute kings and queens. The hospitality was beyond anything we expected – warm, attentive, and genuinely caring... Read more from start to finish.
Joël, the manager, was exceptional ,always present, thoughtful, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Emanuel and the rest of the team were just as amazing, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and special.
Our tent was beautifully set up, offering the perfect blend of comfort and a true safari experience. The food was absolutely delicious every meal was a delight.
And the plunge pool? Unreal. With a view that stretched out over the Mara, it was the perfect spot to unwind after an exciting game drive.

A huge thank you to the entire Mara Siria Camp team for such a magical and memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back!

  Beautiful place to stay! Amazing people, super friendly and helpful. Zebras walking through camp. Stunning views. Delicious food! Everything I could ask for as a real African experience.

... Read more /> Thank you very much Joel, Emanuel, Merci, Oscar, and the whole friendly team!

  Just excellent, if you haven’t been, get booking.  - Well, where to begin?

We were greeted at the camp by Joel, the general manager who was extremely friendly, professional and operated an excellent smile and personality.

... Read more /> Polly, Joel’s right hand woman, was an excellent host come the dining experience and nothing was too much for her. A real ambassador of the camp and no doubt the glue that holds the team together.

And finally, Charlie, the fountain of wildlife based knowledge and an all round stand up chap. Charlie kindly hosted us for a nature walk on evening one and was a walking encyclopaedia of trivia. Certainly the sort of man you’d look to carve out some time with round the fire Pitt for a flora and fauna clinic.

Thank you again all for a fantastic trip and will certainly spread the word of Camp Siria’s pedigree.

All the best,
Will

  Highly Recommended  - We have now visited Mara Siria three times and on each occasion had a marvellous experience. This time we stayed for 5 days, visiting the park for 3 full days... Read more and relaxing in camp for a couple of days (including a visit to the nearby Elatia Rhino sanctuary, highly recommended).
The staff are all exceptionally helpful and friendly and will do all they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
3 days in the park could easily have been more as each drive is unique and enjoyable in a different way. It amazes me that people go all the way to the Mara for just one park visit.
Overall a terrific place to stay. I can't recommend highly enough.

  One of the best safari lodge / camp we ever experienced  - We stayed at the Mara Siria Camp from 15.-18. January 2025. The location at the Siria plateau overlooking the Maasai Mara and the Mara river is just overwhelming.
... Read more /> The design of the lodge, the cottages and tents is very tasty, the service was just great and super friendly, the meals very fine. We have stayed at many lodges in many African countries over the past 25 years. The Mara Siria Camp is definitely one of the best lodges / camps we have ever experienced.

  Mara Siria: Paradise, Perfected - In March this year I returned to the magnificent Mara Siria camp for the second time, and once again I was blown away by the breathtaking views, outstanding hospitality, and... Read more the team’s impeccable care and attention. The tents, as ever, were stunning.

From the moment we arrived, the tone was set: a warm welcome from Charlie, Joel, and Polly, drinks in hand before our seatbelts were even unbuckled, and Polly already tempting us with a four-course lunch menu. Before we’d even seen our tents, Charlie — a true powerhouse of knowledge — had us signed up for a bush walk we won’t soon forget.

The next day we spent out on a self-drive game drive, yet still felt utterly spoiled. Two generously stocked cool boxes for breakfast and lunch meant we were catered for better than most five-star restaurants — but in the middle of the savannah. The camp’s attention to detail left me in awe.

Mara Siria itself is paradise (Peponi in Swahili): spacious, spotless tents, all the comforts you could ask for, and views that rank among the best in the world.

Once again, my expectations were not just met but surpassed. Huge thanks to Peter, Charlie, Joel, Polly, and the entire Phoenix Safaris and Mara Siria team for making my visit so special. If you haven’t yet been, I couldn’t recommend it more highly — even if I tried.

  A trio of a lifetime  - We had a 3 night stay and it was more than I could ever have wished for.
The camp is in a stunning position high above the plains and... Read more the Mara river. The views are wonderful and the stars are so clear at night.
Joel and the whole team are so friendly and look after you so well. They all work such long hours but are always ready to greet you with a smile. Food is plentiful and tasty, our deluxe tent was very comfortable , spacious, and felt very spoilt with plentiful hot water and a lovely touch of a hot water bottle in bed at night!
Charlie is a born guide on the game drives with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Always very respectful of the animals and his passion for photography was a bonus for me trying to get ‘the shot’ .We felt so lucky to have seen the variety of wildlife that we did.
A truly wonderful place and we were very sad to leave.

We even had Zebra visiting the camp and the little Rock Hiraxes living on the rocks are extra cute. The team at the camp around Charlie, Joel, Polly and Ronny are fantastic and our driver and guide Richard was the best showing us everything the park has to offer on our game drives - including 17 lions, leopard, cheetahs and a black rhino baby.

  Simply great, always happy  - A lot has been written about Mara Siria, but this place just deserves a great review time and again. I don’t know a more beautiful place that combines all the... Read more things that make an extraordinary travel experience possible. You can experience pure Africa with its incredibly beautiful nature, you can see (with a bit of luck) the "Big Five" and many other animals still living freely here, you are cared for in a warm and best way by a very attentive but never intrusive staff. Next you will find beautiful, sustainability-minded, well-equipped and comfortably furnished tents with breathtaking views high above the Mara River. The fact that the entire catering is then offered at the highest level is another highlight of the all-round package. Finally, you can visit the Mara Siria Camp
unrestricted only warmly recommend and wish the operator (Peter Böheim) quite a lot of new and old guests who will certainly not regret their decision to come here. We will definitely come back!!!

  Fantastic stay!  - A great experience in the Masai Mara. Great views, super friendly staff, a very nice tent and unique Gane Drives! We loved it and can recommend the camp without restriction.... Read more We will definitely come back.

Read more sure you’re happy. We stayed in the deluxe tent and it was so spacious for 2 of us. The shower and flushing toilet is a big bonus!

  Amazing personal safari camp  - We have just returned from a family holiday in Kenya. Part of this trip was a two night stay at Mara Siria Tented Camp. We were picked up at the... Read more airstrip and taken to the camp which was approx 25 minutes away. On arrival we were were greeted by friendly staff who handed us a welcome drink. We were given a short briefing about the camp then shown to our large luxury tents which were amazing. They consisted of a veranda, bedroom and bathroom with all toiletries included. There is a plunge pool on site with the most amazing view. There is a stall which sells local handicrafts. Due to the camp being open and unfenced you are escorted by staff to and from your tents at night. As it was a bit cooler at night hot water bottles were placed in our beds during turndown, which was a lovely surprise. Each day menu choices are discussed with staff. The food was varied and delicious with staff very attentive. We were taken on a nature walk by Emmanuel who explained all about Masai ways and the animals and plants around the camp. We had very up close experiences with Zebra and Giraffe on the walk. All staff were excellent, knowledgeable and very friendly. As this is a smaller camp it definitely feels you experience a more personal touch. All in all we had the most incredible time and would would highly recommend this camp

  We loved it....  - We were offered a very warm welcome on arrival. we were allocated a tent as per our requirements, this was perfect. the food was great, and the staff were very... Read more friendly and professional. thank you to (Joel, Jonathan, Christine, Emmanuel) without forgetting the gentleman that waited on us. You all worked together to make sure that we had a very pleasant stay and safari. We really appreciate you and please keep up with the good work. The booking and reservation process (Phoenix tours) was very efficient (Fanny) thank you so much.
The camp is so serene and lovely. The sundowner spot was fantastic. I recommend to everyone looking for a memorable bush experience in Kenya.

  Amazing luxurious tented lodge to discover the Massai Mara  - Amazing location with a fantastic view on the Mara plains.

Read more same view,, very spacious, in the midst of the wilderness. All water heating etc is done by solar energy, high standards on sustainability.
The staff is the nicest that I ever experienced, also super knowledgeable rangers for the safaris. Beside the typical safari by wonderful 4x4s, I also did a walking safari 👌🏼.
I can highly recommend.

  A fantastic experience!  - This was our second time at Mara Siria (and hopefully not our last). If anything our stay was even better than before!
Many people stay for only a couple... Read more of nights, going in to the park for one day to try and 'tick off the big five.' To me this is madness. We went in to the park for 4 full days and each time had completely different experiences. I couldn't recommend more strongly going into the park for at least 2 days and preferably more. Our guide, Jacob, was incredible and did all he could to make each day as memorable as possible.
The camp itself is very relaxing so we interspersed our 'park' days with a couple of rest days. We sat outside the tent (one overlooking the escarpment) just reading, watching the wildlife below, and listening to the sound of the Mara River. We also did a nature walk which was very enjoyable and interesting.
Mara Siria is extremely well run and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. They couldn't have done more to make our stay any more enjoyable.
Overall I couldn't recommend Mara Siria highly enough (and stay for several days!).

  You will not be disappointed!  - Looking for a bush camp which covers all your needs, namely comfortable large tents for single travellers, couples, families in nature, near the famous Masai Mara game reserve, featuring... Read more good full-board food (including vegetarian option), very friendly, helpful and competent staff, and game drives with excellent guides, this is the place I would choose. The camp is really in nature, you can spot zebras and giraffes right next to your tent.
We've stayed here for the 2nd time now and are still fascinated. Staff is the same as 1 year ago, which tells you a lot about how the camp is run

  Breathtaking  - Great location to visit the Mara triangle. Stunning views of the savanna and the river, especially in the early morning when the sun rises. The guide, Joseph Kagwima, was highly... Read more competent in everything he did - driving, animal spotting, providing information, taking care of us without ever being intrusive. On our last morning, we went for a walk not too far from the camp; Emmanuel was our guide, and that was a breathtaking experience, too. The only thing I was not too excited about was our tent which was rather small and felt a bit stuffy. However, that did not really matter as we did not spend much time inside. Our trip was organized by Phoenix Safaris, and I would highly recommend them for their professionalism and their friendliness.

  Comfy digs, Kind staff, Amazingly beautiful location  - Mara Siria is in a beautiful location on an escarpment overlooking the Mara River and nestled in nature. The staff are so attentive and kind! We stayed in a deluxe... Read more tent #11 and it was very comfortable with a deck looking out across the savannah. The food is very good, and when my daughter didn't feel well after a long day on safari, the wonderful team brought dinner to our tent. Highly recommend taking a nature walk with the Maasai guide Emmanuel and get to know him and his vision for encouraging wildlife and habitat conservation among young people. The "camp zebra" is a bonus - not tame but likes to hang out with the humans!

Phew.

  Wonderful Stay  - I had a wonderful stay at this camp just outside the park. When booking, I suggest you book tent 5 or 6 which have amazing views over the park and... Read more the Mara river below. The staff are brilliant and are always asking how you are and whether they can do anything for you. They greet you warmly as you return from safari. There’s a plunge pool which overlooks the park. I didn’t use it but it has a wonderful view. The food menu is limited but good quality and I enjoyed it all.

Jacob was my amazing guide and I nominate him for “Masai Mara guide of the year”. He had everything a good guide should: great knowledge, a good network amongst the other guides and he was always checking what I wanted to see and doing his utmost to make sure I saw all the game I wanted, including a crossing. Everytime we moved on, he checked that I was ready. May he be picking flowers in the Mara for many years to come.

  Overwhelming  - What a wonderful place. The view. The people around Joel and Christin responsible at this camp are very friendly and accommodating causing a warm, family atmosphere. People often have a... Read more casual conversation about their experiences. And of course, the Masai Mara is higly recommended - Mara Siria is a very convenient starting point. We had two incredible days with Defton (I'm not sure if the name is spelled correctly), who was competent, humorous, relaxed, but extremely committed to going the extra mile for great experiences. The food and drink is not star chefs but more than fine and just as appropriate.

The location is just the best, close to the gate and animal sightings everywhere. The gate where the camp is located is one of the more quite ones but on this side of the Mara the animals where the best. No big crouds with lots of vehicles like on the other side near the main gate.

We booked though Phoenix Safaris, this camp is owned by them. With our booking we got a driver that drove us all around to all places we went to. Our driver was Richard, OMG, this is the best you could get! He is the best driver and guide and especially animal spotter out there. He was always the first guide around to spot a special animal and then other guides would join and watch the sighting, he was friends with all the other guides and knew the staff at the Mara gates and made our trip the best!

During our stay we also booked a Hot Airballoon morning safari with champagne breakfast, this is a once in a lifetime experience and a definite must do! After the breakfast our superguide was ready to take us the rest of the day on a gamedrive, he took the lunch packed from the resort, this way we could make the most of our day and not have to go back to the camp for lunch.

Only comment i could give is place a water kettle in the room so guests could make coffee or tea in the deluxe tents.

  The one tented safari camp in Kenya you do not want to miss  - Having just returned from a wonderful twelve-day visit to Kenya organized by Phoenix Safaris, I can unreservedly recommend this travel company. Iris put together an itinerary that gave us a... Read more perfect first impression of this beautiful country, and of the safari lodges where we stayed, their own Mara Siria tented camp at Masai Mara was the highlight: luxurious accommodation, incredibly friendly staff, lovingly prepared meals. When they inquire about dietary concerns on arrival, they mean it. I was pampered with specially prepared, onion-free dinners for our three nights there. And the view from Tent 5 was spectacular. We are sure to return and bring the family.

  Einen Aufenthalt in dem Camp kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Wir waren dort 3 Nächte und haben jeden Moment genossen.
Die Lage des Camps wurde schon mehrfach beschrieben und besticht... Read more durch seine Lage auf einem Höhenzug mit Blick in die Mara. Sowohl der Sonnenaufgang als auch Sonnenuntergang lassen sich dort super beobachten, beim Essen draußen hat man den Blick und selbst von den Zelten genießt man die Sicht.
Das Camp ist sehr liebevoll zusammengestellt mit 15 Zelten mit genügend Abstand zueinander, einem Empfangszelt, Restaurantzelt und vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Strom und WLAN ist vorhanden, die Zelte sind geräumig, die Sanitäranlagen ausgesprochen sauber und das Essen entspricht mehr als deutschen Standards. Als Vegetarier war es überhaupt kein Problem und das Essen war sehr vielfältig und abwechslungsreich.
Besonders gefallen hat uns das sher zuvorkommende und freundliche Personal, das jeden Wunsch erfüllt hat. Auch gab es viele Kleinigkeiten, die den Aufenthalt besonders gemacht haben: jeden Abend Wärmflaschen im Bett, tolle Picknicks für unterwegs, Sundowner am Abend und die friedlichen Haustiere des Camps: Zebras, Giraffen und Klippschliefer.
Die Safaritouren haben das ganze abgerundet, die big five haben wir alle gesehen, es wurde so oft und so lange gehalten, wie wir wollten und die Touren wurden nach unseren Wünschen gemacht.
Allem in allem sehr zu empfehlen.

  Nachhaltiger Luxus im Busch Camp - Wir waren 3 Nächte im Camp und haben von hieraus die Mara mit dem LandCruiser erkundet. Jeder Tag war ein Erlebnis: Alle Big 5 gesehen, Picknick im Nationalpark, Abkühlung im... Read more Plantschbecken, ein kühles Bier zum sehr guten Abendessen und schließlich die verdiente Erholung im Luxuszelt! Man merkt in vielen kleinen Dingen, dass sich die Betreiber des Camps um Nachhaltigkeit Gedanken gemacht haben. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswerter Ausflug und Aufenthalt. Wenn man schon in Kenia ist ein MUSS!

  Mara erleben im Camp Siria ist ein Traum! - Wir hatten tolle Tage im Camp, bester Service, sehr gutes Essen, extrem saubere Zelte mit höchstem Standard. Wichtig war die extreme Freundlichkeit einer Mitarbeiter das kann man nur maximal weiter... Read more empfehlen! Auch Toilette und Bad waren auf einem extrem hohen Standard!

  Ein Traum - Es wurde schon alles gesagt über dieses wunderbare Lodge gesagt. Darum kann ich mich nur wiederholen. Dieses inhabergeführte Camp (Peter Boeheim) ist der absolute Hammer. Ich bin bestimmt schon 20... Read more Mal hier gewesen. Daran mag man erkennen, wie ich das Camp bewerte.
In den letzten Jahren ist viel in neue Technik investiert worden. Dennoch hat das Camp seinen authentischen und familiären Charm in keiner Weise verloren. Inzwischen werden 2 weitere Units mit spektakulären Ausblicken gebaut. Wer sich hier einbucht, hat alles richtig gemacht. Phoenix Safaris kümmert sich von A-Z um alles, also Flug ex Deutschland, Hotel in Nairobi, Anreise zum Camp etc. Freundliches Personal und kompetente Fahrer runden das Bild.
Also nix wie los. Den Aufenthalt dort wird man nie vergessen

  Spektakulär - Das Tollste an diesem wunderschönen Camp ist wohl, dass man selbst nach vielen Aufenthalten in der Masai Mara und in den dortigen Camps und Lodges schon bei der Ankunft dasteht... Read more und sich denkt: Wow, das ist wirklich spektakulär. Was für ein Ausblick auf die Mara, was für ein grandioser Pool, was für süße Mitarbeiter. Die Zelte sind wirklich schön und gepflegt, das Essen ist sehr gut, und man hat, keine Ahnung, wie sie das machen, gleichzeitig absolute Privatsphäre und immer das Gefühl, Teil einer kleinen, wunderbaren Familie zu sein.

Wir hatten alles mit Phoenix Safaris gebucht, die hiermit absolut empfohlen wird. Mit unserem Guide George hatten wir schon beim ersten Game Drive in der Mara alle Big Five entdeckt und eine Gepardenfamilie noch dazu.

Um es kurz zu machen: Wer das Mara Siria Camp bucht, kann überhaupt nichts falsch machen, im Gegenteil, es ist eine der besten Adressen in Kenia. Ebenso Phoenix Safaris. Wir haben es absolut genossen und kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.

  Ein Paradies im Paradies - Wenn man das erste Mal im Mara Siria Camp war, fällt es einem schwer, womit man anfangen soll. Dann vielleicht einfach chronologisch ...

Schon die Ankunft war wunderschön: Christine,... Read more Emanuel und Charlie haben uns vom Auto abgeholt und wir sind gemeinsam zum Camp gelaufen. Man geht durchs Rezeptions-Zelt und es eröffnet sich ein unbeschreiblicher Ausblick hinunter auf die Maasai Mara und den Mara River. Dann ein köstliches Mittagessen von Koch Zomo.

Die Unterkünfte: Wow. Luxury Tented trifft es. Dabei aber keineswegs überkandidelt. Solarstrom für die Beleuchtung. Die warme Dusche wird vom Personal auf Wunsch mit etwa 15 Minuten Vorlauf bereitgestellt. Abends erwartete uns eine heiße Wärmeflasche im Bett. Du glaubst es kaum. Selbst wenn es nachts kühl wird, die Decken sind super warm (zusätzliche Decken gibt es außerdem im Badezimmer).

Frühstück und Abendessen: Spitze. Lecker. Und immer ein toller, freundlicher Service. Nach dem Abendessen wird man mit Taschenlampe zum Zelt begleitet. Nachts soll man nicht ohne Begleitung im Camp unterwegs sein. Da es keine Zäune gibt, können auch Tiere ins Camp kommen. Aber auch unsere Kinder hatten deswegen keinerlei Sorge. Im Gegenteil: man genießt es, mitten in der Natur zu sein. Hört Tiere rufen und den Fluß rauschen. Sonst nichts.

Die Game Drives vom Camp aus (wir hatten alles mit Phoenix Safaris gebucht - sehr empfehlenswert!) sind beeindruckend. Die Landschaft und Tierwelt versetzen einen in Staunen - man kann es kaum fassen, Elefanten, Giraffen, Löwen usw. "einfach so" in freier Wildbahn zu sehen.
