Honeymoon Heaven - It’s hard to put into words how amazing our time at Mara Siria was. We came here on our honeymoon and had the most amazing experience.
The setting... Read more of the camp is just beautiful, it is so serene and peaceful and the view is just as incredible as it looks on the photographs. Do make sure you take a dip in the plunge pool and take a quiet moment to appreciate this beautiful place.
The rooms are comfortable and clean and exceeded our expectations of what some may deem a “basic” camp. The added touches of hot water bottles at turn down were much appreciated.
The staff are one of the best things about this camp. They were so genuinely caring, kind, and thoughtful and we were extremely sad to leave. We enjoyed our bush walk with Daniel on our final morning which they kindly rearranged for us as we missed it on our first day due to flight delays. This was a wonderful thing to do as we got to see some wildlife on the escarpment on foot and felt very safe the whole time. Daniel taught us so much and about the Masai culture, flora and fauna and we loved chatting with him on this short walk.
Oscar was so friendly and we enjoyed getting to know him during our sundowner drinks on the escarpment which was beautiful and a wonderful experience.
Our guide Jacob was phenomenal. His knowledge of Mara was incredible and learnt so much and had the most amazing time on our drives with him. Jacob was so friendly, intelligent and thoughtful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. We made memories that will last a lifetime and we couldn’t be more grateful to Jacob for all he did for us.
The team at the camp went above and beyond for us especially catering to my husband’s food allergies and even gave us the recipe for the eggless pancakes they made for him. The food was absolutely delicious and we especially loved our bush breakfast and lunch. Also, the office team who supported us when we had flight delays from our previous safari location and communicated with the airlines to make sure that we made it to Mara Siria on our expected day.
We were so well looked after and we had the most amazing time on our honeymoon at the Masai Mara. We will wholeheartedly be recommending Mara Siria to all our friends and family to stay here and we hope we can return some day. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

Vacation with and among friends. - I am a repeat visitor, having been to the Mara Siria Camp over 20 times since 2010. Over the years, the camp has fundamentally remained as it always was, simply... Read more very good and authentic. However, a significant investment has been made in reasonable luxury. This includes, of course, the tents, but also technical aspects such as eco-friendly electricity everywhere, Wi-Fi, and running hot and cold water.
Otherwise, I do not want to repeat myself; it is always a wonderful experience and pure relaxation for me.

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.

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.

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.

July 16, 2026Im Rahmen unserer Safari mit Phoenix Reisen waren wir zu Gast im Mara Siria Camp, um den Masai Mara Nationalpark zu besuchen. Bereits der Untertitel „Luxury Tented Bush Camp“ weckte... Read more hohe Erwartungen – und diese wurden sogar noch übertroffen. Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und fühlten uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen. Das Camp liegt auf einem kleinen Hügel und bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick über die Masai Mara – allein diese Aussicht ist schon etwas ganz Besonderes. Die luxuriösen Zelte sind großzügig über das Gelände verteilt und bieten viel Privatsphäre. Ausstattung, Komfort und Sauberkeit waren hervorragend. Man genießt hier das Gefühl, mitten in der Natur zu sein, ohne auf jeglichen Komfort verzichten zu müssen. Auch kulinarisch hat uns das Camp begeistert. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und wurde in einem wunderschönen Ambiente serviert. Für unseren Game Drive wurden Frühstück und Mittagessen als Lunchpaket vorbereitet – alles war perfekt organisiert, liebevoll zusammengestellt und von bester Qualität. Ein absolutes Highlight ist der kleine Plunge Pool. Nach einer Safari dort zu entspannen und dabei den fantastischen Ausblick über die Masai Mara zu genießen, ist einfach unvergesslich. Von dort aus lassen sich außerdem wunderschöne Fotos machen. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das gesamte Team des Camps. Alle Mitarbeiter waren außergewöhnlich freundlich, aufmerksam und äußerst serviceorientiert. Jeder Wunsch wurde mit einem Lächeln erfüllt, sodass wir uns während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts rundum wohl und bestens aufgehoben fühlten. Das Mara Siria Camp ist ein wunderbarer Ort, der Luxus, Natur und herzliche Gastfreundschaft perfekt miteinander verbindet. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können dieses Camp uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Lovely calm location and attentive staff. The tents offer an awesome experience of luxury, an eye for details ( I loved the hot water bottle ) and being in nature.

June 10, 2026Mara siria camp is strategically located for a magnificent view, we enjoyed both sun rise and sunset overlooking the park and Mara river. By sunrise the chirping birds make the melody... Read more inviting one to open the eyes and meet the yellow sunbeam of the Savanna penetrating through the tent. By night the purring river made a sweet soft natural lullaby that made us sleep through and tempted to linger more in the spacious luxury tent wrapped in comfort. On our arrival, we were welcomed by a parade of elephants, a dazzle of zebras, a tower of giraffes and herds of impalas. With all this we didn’t go for safari but enjoyed the view from the lodge and appreciate our camp visitors (zebras) who were lingering around the camp premises. Our driver and tour guide John joked that his colleague Daniel(native from the Siria village) is wild animals whisperer and so he had arranged all that for us!! Whether fact or not we were extremely happy to have such a soft start! The camp staff are very flexible and attentive! All our special requests were welcomed with enthusiasm, Joshua and Jenny served us always with bright smiles! And Oscar the camp manager always ready to listen to our excitement/experiences and share very meaningful insights!! Each moment was well spent!!

May 30, 2026Of course, you will come here for the magnificence of the Maasai Mara and the beautiful views of the Mara from the camp; however, you will soon fall in love... Read more with the team and their hospitality in the same way that you will with the wildlife in the reserve. We had an amazing stay!

May 14, 2026Top Lage, top Personal, Top Geburtstagfest! Wir reisten als sechsköpfige Gruppe ins Mara Siria Camp – und bereits der erste Moment hat uns überwältigt. Das Camp liegt malerisch eingebettet in unberührter... Read more Natur, dass man sofort das Gefühl hat, an einem ganz besonderen Ort angekommen zu sein. Mit einem ersten Blick an einem Aussichtspunkt, der kaum in Worte zu fassen ist, begann unser Abenteuer. Die Weite der Masai Mara vor Augen, das Licht, die Stille – ein Anblick, den man erlebt haben muss, um ihn zu begreifen. Ein Super-Ausgangspunkt für die Safari in die Mara! Das Team im Mara Siria Camp hat uns mit einer außergewöhnlichen Herzlichkeit empfangen. Ein ganz besonderer Höhepunkt war der Geburtstagsabend, den das Team für uns organisiert hat. Mit so viel Liebe, Atmosphäre und afrikanischen Gesängen gestaltet, wurde er zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis – warmherzig, persönlich und absolut einzigartig.

March 18, 2026Wir haben schon einige Lodges in verschiedensten Parks in Kenia besucht, aber keine Lodge ist vergleichbar mit dieser! Die Lage ist fantastisch, ein wirklich unvergleichlicher Blick über die Masai Mara,... Read more die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt kann man bei einem Nature Walk in unmittelbarer Umgebung erleben.
