Masai Mara is justly one of the best-known wildlife areas in Kenya. Here the herds of elephants, browse among rich, tree-studded grasslands. Thomson’s gazelles, zebra, elan,d, and many more species of savannah game offer a rich choice for the predatory lions, leopards,s and cheetahs that hunt in the reserve and the adjoining areas. But even this richness of fauna, and untouched life of Africa continuing as it has for thousands of years, is secondary to the Mara’s annual migration of wildebeest. The spectacle of more than a million of these creatures moving as a great mass across the savanna is one of the most breathtaking sights in nature. The actual migration does not last very long and its start is impossible to predict accurately. Nevertheless visitors to the Masai Mara in August through September are certain to see the great herds of wildebeest and zebra. However year round Masai Mara is rich in resident wildlife, and the combination of a gentle climate with scenic splendor and unbelievable wildlife makes it Kenya’s most popular game reserve.

We decided on doing the tour thru best camping which was customized for us It was a very good experience for all of us and things were arranged very well right from the time we landed in Kenya till we departed 11 days later. We were given 3 land cruisers which made our travel comfortable. Our 3 drivers cum guides abdullah, Patrik and Ben were really good and extremely helpful. The hotels and the arrangements were very well managed. Imran and Shifana the owners of best camping were in constant touch to ensure everything was going well. The sightings at all venues added to the exhilarating experience. Staying in tents in Masai mara for 3 days was a different experience which all enjoyed. All in all a great trip with wonderful arrangements. Would recommend best camping for all those who want to experience wild lifeSudhir N2024-07-07Best Trip We were 14 of us and i believe all of us were a little nervous of how our trip is going to be and how the tour will be managed. However, the warmth with which Best Camping - Imran and Shifana - welcomed us at the airport put us at ease and managed matters for us so beautifully, efficiently and excellently as would have been done only by family. Continuously in touch with us during the full tour, with the super driver guides - Ben, Abdallah and Patrick - and the sightings which we had only earlier dreamed of - made this really one of the BEST tours. Would love to repeat this trip again.yogeshmankar2024-07-03Bucket list tick ???? Our 11 day, 3 vehicle, 14 people tour was an amazing experience. The well laid out itinerary ensured we had a comfortable and safe journey through out.

My niece and I used Best Camping for the 3-day Masai Mara adventure. It was a great few days in the “bush”. Our driver, Simon, drove us the Nairobi, through the park on safari and back to Nairobi. The safari was amazing. We saw multiple prides of lion, hyena, cheetah, so many elephants, zebra and even a leopard. We also did the hot air balloon experience which was amazing. The owner met us at our hotel, gave us “travel snacks” and was so welcoming from start to finish. We arrived to the camp and the beds were comfy, tents were clean, and we had a private bathroom/hot shower. The guys at the camp were so friendly and we felt very safe and secure. The cook, Joseph was excellent with both meat and veggie options. This was a great “bush” experience that I hope to do again soon.Jesse F2024-06-23Trip of a lifetime The trip was incredible.
