Beautiful Camp with magnificent views over the Mara Triangle, surrounded by nature, very attentive friendly staff - Mara Siria Tented Camp is beautifully situated; the tents are nestled in the natural surroundings, and the camp is quiet and peaceful, offering a magnificent view of the Mara Triangle.... Read more It’s just a short drive to the entrance gate of the park. The staff is very professional, friendly, and attentive, and the food is excellent. You can have breakfast outside at a table while enjoying the view of the Mara Triangle, with zebras grazing nearby. My tent was tastefully and beautifully furnished and decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was also very nice. Everything was perfectly clean. In the evening, while I was having dinner, the tent was prepared for the night; the bed was made and a hot water bottle was provided.
The game drives organized by the camp in an open-air vehicle were also excellent, led by a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. During a full-day game drive, I was able to enjoy a luxurious breakfast and lunch in the park, with tables, chairs, and everything else provided.
The camp operates in an eco-friendly manner; there are no plastic bottles, and electricity and hot water are provided by solar energy.
I would always come back to Mara Siria Tented Camp. It offers so much comfort and in my opinion the location is even better than inside the park because of the great views.

Perfect safari accommodation - The camp is beautifully located, the overnight stay in the cozy tents adventurous and relaxing at the same time - just a great experience. The staff is super friendly and... Read more helpful, and the food very delicious. We felt completely comfortable.

We should have stayed longer - We arrived in early November 2025 directly from Nairobi at the Mara Siria Camp and we were stunned by the location. To read about the wide and open space or... Read more to watch movies from Africa is one thing, to really be there and experience it in real is something else. Truly a unique place in the heart of the Masai Mara area. Try to book the tents at the front overlooking the Mara river and you will not want to leave the terrace of your tent. On top you will experience a warm and heartful hospitality from the staff and and delicious food cooked fresh every day.

AFRIKA wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Wir sind zum ersten Mal in Kenia und mit einer 6er Gruppe von Nairobi direkt ins Mara Siria Camp angereist - der erste Eindruck... Read more war absolut atemberaubend, das Camp eingebettet in die unberührte Natur , ein erster Drink an einem Platz mit einer Aussicht die man erleben muss, das Team mit einer Herzlichkeit und Servicebereitschaft die nicht zu toppen ist. Wir hatten zudem das grosse Glück, das die Luxury Tents verfügbar waren, eine absolut gelungene Mischung aus wirklich ausreichend Komfort und Busch Feeling, mit einer Terasse die einen 1 Million Dollar Blick auf den Mara River und den Nationalpark bietet. FÜR UNS ALLE EIN ERSTES GROSSES HIGHLIGHT auf der Reise, wir fürchten fast es wird kaum zu überbieten sein....

November 5, 2025Великолепный парк Масай Маара, в котором мы увидели очень много животных. Прекрасный гид-водитель John, милый, весёлый, с хорошим чувством юмора. Вкусная еда. На этом всё хорошее закончилось.... Read more Размещение в маленькой палатке. Да, да, это простая палатка. Не просторная юрта, не шатер с удобствами. Полумрак. Туалет за шторкой. Нелепый душ, в который нужно заказывать воду заранее. Короче, тесно, неудобно, не комфортно, не понравилось вообще. Непонятно как люди согласны за 300$ в сутки жить в палатке. За эти деньги можно жить в хорошем отеле. Полное разочарование и полное несоответствие цена-качество. НЕ СОВЕТУЮ!

Grandioses Camp oberhalb der Masai Mara. Der Ausblick in die endlosen Weiten ist einfach traumhaft, diesen kann man sogar vom kleinen aber feinen Infinitypool genießen. Das Camp liegt wunderschön in die... Read more Natur eingebettet und lädt so auch das ein oder andere Zebra zum Besuch ein. Da die Nächte etwas kälter waren, hatten wir sogar eine Wärmflasche im Bett vorbereitet. Das Personal ist einfach sehr herzlich und zuvorkommend. Man fühlt sich gleich angekommen und man kann den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genießen. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für einen Game Drive in der Masai Mara.

September 1, 2025This was our first safari experience. This camp exceeded our expectations. The view is phenomenal. It's about 15 minutes from the park entrance. But what... Read more was most outstanding was the service. My father was a hotelier, so I have stayed in my fair share of accommodation, and without a doubt the service at Mara Siria was second to none. As an example we were playing cards at dusk, and were thinking to move up to the lounge area. Without being aware of this or being asked, Ronny brought us a light. ALL the staff were fantastic. The food was delicious, although I do wish there was a traditional Kenyan dish served. Even our safari lunch was fabulous.

August 27, 2025Myself and my two grown up daughters stayed at Mara Siria for 2 nights. Breath taking position over the Mara River and the valley below the hill top, views were... Read more phenomenal. Seeing the hot air balloons setting off from the valley below in the early morning was special. Loved the rustic tents, although I think we broke the electricity by charging so many devices! All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the hot water bottles at night time were a lovely touch. Still can't get over the amount of wildlife in and around camp. It's a perfect base to explore the Maasi Mara which is also beyond words.

September 23, 2023We have just spent the most amazing few days as guests at Mara Siria. The ambience is simply wonderful. You feel like part of the family as soon as you... Read more arrive. We were lucky enough to have Siria 15 deluxe tent with an escarpment view straight across the Mara. It was comfortable, just right with hot water, shower and power for Wi-Fi and charging cameras etc. The food was wonderful; simple, delicious and filling. Our guide and driver (Dufton) was attentive, hugely knowledgable and responsive to the ever-changing animal situation on the Mara. Joe, Charlie and the team looked after us perfectly. Would highly recommend flying to Kichwa from Wilson Airport in Nairobi as it’s 30 mins vs 5 hrs in a car. We booked through Phoenix Safaris https://phoenix-safaris.com/hotel/mara-siria and they did an amazing job of sorting a tailor-made trip. Thanks guys n gals, we’ll be back

March 2, 2020We (two couples) recently returned from our trip to East Africa which included two nights at the Mara Siria tented camp. We all wished we planned more time there,... Read more as we didn't realize how much we'd want to simply hang out, relax, and enjoy the camp after our game drives. Our tents (5 and 6) were spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Each tent had outside seating and unbelievable views of the Mara and savannah below. The food was truly delicious. I am a vegetarian and the food was some of the best I have had anywhere I have traveled. The staff really made the experience extra special. They were lovely, accommodating, and efficient. Any need we had, they addressed immediately. Despite the unexpected rain and flooding (as this was the dry season), the staff made our stay really wonderful. I cannot recommend Mara Siria highly enough.

The camp provided 3 meals a day, cocktail time and accommodated an electrical request for my husband’s c-pap. Our luxury tent was comfy and quiet...loved the hot water bottles in our beds to warm it up! Joel (manager) and staff were always pleasant. Thanks for a lovely 2 days that we will always remember.
