We had the most amazing, authentic safari experience in Masai Mara staying at Julia’s River Camp. We stayed in the VIP Camp for 4 days and their service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, and attentive to our needs. The tent/room was clean and was newly renovated (just middle of this year, I heard). It is right in front of the river so it has the best view, especially during sunrise. I already miss the sound of the hippos in the morning. The game drives were excellent. It exceeded my expectation, thanks to our very experienced driver. The only down side is the food. Sometimes the chef’s cooking is bland, sometimes too salty, but I appreciate that they try to mix their menu with different dishes per meal for variety. Overall, Julia’s River Camp offered great value accommodations for the budget-friendly fees they charged. If you want better dining experience and fancy camp facilities, then choose the more luxury camp options. But if you’re looking for an affordable yet comfortable glamping experience, I’d say Julia’s (at least for their VIP Camp section) is a great choice.

This is our fourth time at Julias and we are always thrilled with this camp. The staff are always very attentive and make every minute an unforgettable stay. Gideon and Morris in the restaurant once again came up with some great ideas to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Susi was also very attentive and kept our tent clean and was always there if we needed anything. At night the guards always protected us from wild visitors and provided a cozy campfire in the evening. The game drives were breathtaking. The camp is located in a beautiful area and offers everything you need to really experience the Mara.

I was traveling with my 6-year-old son, and staying at Julia’s River Camp was like stepping into a National Geographic documentary, except with better food! The camp is inside the Masai Mara Reserve, and trust me, that makes all the difference. From the moment we landed at the Ol Kiombi airstrip, the adventure began. The tents are spacious and luxurious, blending comfort with the raw beauty of nature. The Italian roots of the owner shine through in the food: delicious, abundant, and well beyond expectations. Think restaurant-quality meals with an African twist. The staff made the experience unforgettable, especially for my son. They taught him how to be a Masai warrior: complete with traditional attire, skills, and even a few words in Maa. When it was time to leave, he cried, heartbroken to say goodbye to his new friends. And then there’s Kantai, our guide: a legend in the Masai Mara. This man has the eyes of a hawk (or maybe a lion). He could spot a camouflaged predator from miles away. He was patient, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. And let’s talk about the game drive vehicle: an open SUV that was by far the best we used anywhere in Kenya. Spacious, comfortable, and offering unbeatable views!!! Oh, and did I mention the hippos and crocodiles? You can see them in the river right from the camp! But don’t worry, it’s totally safe. And for those who need to stay connected, they have Starlink WiFi, which is a game-changer. If I ever return to the Masai Mara, this is where I’m staying.

Julia’s river camp is the best! It’s right in the middle of Masai Mara, so close to so many animals. It’s right on the river, with hippos and buffalo aplenty. The accommodation is lovely- hot water and comfy beds. The entire staff is so kind and helpful, especially Joseph. A special shout out to our guide Leo, he took us on an amazing adventure, and made sure we got to see everything up close when possible. If you want to stay in the park and be amongst the nature and animals, this place is for you! It’s peaceful and exciting at the same time.

I had such a lovely time at Julia’s River Camp. The food was delicious, and the staff especially Gidion and Moris were incredibly attentive and welcoming, making me feel well taken care of throughout my stay. What I enjoyed most was being surrounded by nature – the peaceful setting by the river made the experience unforgettable. A perfect balance of comfort and the beauty of the wild. Highly recommended!
