Great safari camp. Pricey, though. Menu of meal options. Meals within a range of times, rather than a set time. Liquor reasonably priced. Staff was outstanding. Located right on the river, abundant wildlife visible from the lodge and even from the porch of our tent. Maasai Mara amazing, guide did a great job. The trip of a lifetime without question!

The most wonderful experience. The camp was very special, sitting watching the hippos and crocs while relaxing between drives was a pinch me moment. All the staff were friendly and couldn’t have tried harder to make our stay perfect. Super food and accommodation. A special mention to our safari guide, Lorna who was knowledgeable and excellent company. It’s been a once in a lifetime experience.

My son and I just came back from an amazing safari at Karen Blixen camp. The staff were wonderful, the food was delicious, our tent was perfect. Our safari guide, Joseph, was great. He was very knowledgeable and my son enjoyed every game drive. I highly recommend this camp.

Nice camp with beautiful views. On the huge river with hippos all over, we’re so fun to watch. Baby hippos were so cute! Tents are huge with outdoor showers. Wish they had indoor showers too as it was a bit cold our. Service and food very tasty. Will come back.

Lovely camp right on the Mara River. Hippos all over and we even saw a leopard from camp! The food was great and good choices. Service was wonderful, very helpful and nice staff. Our safari tents were huge and very comfortable beds and lounges on our deck on the river. Loved it.

This was our first safari and better than we could ever expect. We were greeted by James and Lorna at the Mara North airstrip as soon as we landed. They handed us a cold drink and just as we thought we were going to camp they took us on our first game drive, and from there we saw animals continuously for four days. James and Lorna were incredible guides, so friendly and knowledgeable. Arriving at the camp later we were greeted by more staff who helped us check in and explain everything about the place. You have the same roof attendant and waiter throughout the stay so you get to know them just like your guide. The tents you stay in are so nice. We only wish we had more time to relax in them. Overall, we saw every animal we hoped to see while doing it in luxury. Incredible stay and highly recommend. We hope to visit there again, and if we are lucky, some of the same staff will still be there.

We stayed 3 nights at this camp and did not want to leave!! We loved everything about this camp, the staff, the game drives, location, views are all so so amazing. Our guide Kisemei was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and great at spotting the animals. He was amazing and any one who gets him as their driver is very very lucky!! Within our first game drive we got to see wildabeast, giraffes & a baby one, 4 male lions together (which is so rare), a cheetah and we got so close to the elephants that I managed to get a selfie with one!! The location of this camp is just amazing, we spent hours after our game drive just sat along the river watching the hippos and even got lucky with a group of 4 elephants wondering down to come and have a drink. The tents are so lovely and spacious, providing you with shampoo, conditioner, bodywash & insect repellent. They have well enough space for charging cameras phone etc and we always had a hot shower!! The food was amazing and had plenty of options each meal time, with a 3 course meal for lunch & dinner!! They also provide you with your own water bottles that you can take with you when you leave & have water fountains in the main area so you can continually top up, whilst also providing water in the tents. They also have a tea & coffee stand in this area and you can grab a cup at anytime of the day! The staff are so lovely and we were so sad to leave this camp. This place is magical and we would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you to Karen Blixen camp & all the staff who made our trip so amazing!

We had 3 nights at the Karen Blixen Camp and can highly recommend it. Fabulous accommodation with outside shoŵers and authentic decor. Our guide Kisemei was extremely knowledgeable and great at spotting the animals, evening game drives included sundowner drinks in the bush. Wonderful staff who were friendly and attentive. Great location on the river bank, what an experience hearing the hippos at night! Highly recommended!
