If I had the chance to add 6 stars for this lodging facility I would do that happily. The staff is extremely kind and helpful.. Catherine and Charles were by far wonderful and very welcoming. We had the chance to meet the owners and they are super nice and generous as they did their best to make our stay wonderful (they made us feel home). Food is great, probably they have one of the best chefs in the area.. The whole camp is very elegant and done in a very artistic way, you'll see that in every detail of the wood there (wood lovers will like this camp)..They also provide free laundry. Keeping the best to the end, their tour guide ANTHONY wad the best (make sure to ask for him for the game drives, by far he's the best probably in the whole Mara).. You won't regret booking this camp!

1. First of all, this hotel said that pick-up from the airport was free, but when it arrived, it said it would charge a fee.
2. I emailed the hotel several times to confirm the entertainment options before departure, but no reply. In fact, it was intentional, with the intention of deceiving you to settle the score.
3. The camp only accepts Visa for payment and does not support any other payment methods. American Express and UnionPay cannot be used. And when I had a problem with the payment, they told me to play first and calculate it later. What does this mean? Many projects don’t know whether to charge for it. They tell you afterward that it costs 50 US dollars to take a look at a dilapidated house. The main reason is that I don’t want to see it at all. ,
Not including tickets, the total cost of all tickets, cars, and tickets was US$500. There was no price list for the bill, so it was written by hand. The car was broken again and had to wait for repairs midway. There are also Americans who kneel down and lick them, give them cakes and dance before leaving. In the end, it’s not me who tips the most. It’s not that the service is great, it’s that I won’t come back again and I’ll be dumped when I run out of money.

Mara Major Camp is the perfect place to stay for an authentic Kenyan safari experience. The lodge staff are local Maasai that truly make the place special. We were the only guests at the camp because we stayed at the beginning of the rainy/off season and they were so attentive to us, taking care of all our needs. The food is great and the chef works hard to present you wonderful meals. He also catered to our weird food needs. One of the Maasai took us on game drives around Maasai Mara Reserve and did a fantastic job driving and getting us close to the animals. He took us to see Lion cubs, cheetah cubs, and even a leopard cub! We also watched a Lion hunt and kill! Spectacular experience!
The complaint I have has nothing to do with the camp, the stay, or the camp staff, but rather the false information advertised on *******. I don’t know if this is Expedia’s fault or the owners that run the camp off site. First, the camp is advertised as “all inclusive.” This is not true. You only get the lodging and meals, but you’re hit with ridiculous extra fees for anything else: transportation, game drives, other activities, anything to drink besides water, etc. So I warn when booking, this high price you’re paying for your stay doesn’t cover much. Second, the advertisement claims you will have free transportation from the nearest airstrips to the camp and back again. This is also not true and we were hit with another unexpected charge to get to the airstrip after our stay. Be warned.

Magical honeymoon in the Mara
We loved staying at the Mara Major Lodge. Yes, it was pricey… but worth it. The tentalows are lovely and we got to hear many wild animals during the night, the staff was LOVELY and helped us plan all our excursions from A-Z! Special shoutout to our sweet game driver Sam. All the staff was Maasai as well, which was a lovely cultural immersion and they were all very open and friendly. Oh and the entrance to the park is so close, you can see it from the lodge! So convenient.

This was our first trip to Masai Mara and it was unforgettable! We stumbled across Il Muran and it did not disappoint! The stay exceeded our expectations.
The hospitality at the camp was top knotch. We were welcomed by local Maasai and they took care of us during our entire stay! Our guide Antony was the BEST in Masai Mara. With only 2 game day drives, he knew exactly what to do and where to go, to see the most animals we possibly could. We couldn't be more grateful for our experience.
I was in close communication with the camp leading up to our stay. They answered every question I had & it made the trip stress-free!
The tents were very clean and the beds were comfortable. We were surprised with a heated water pack daily so the bed was warm at nighttime. It was a nice touch!
The location is incredible! We had zebras grazing on the camp daily. We even saw a monkey, hippo, and elephant from our camp. And the stay was very close to a pride of lions!
On our last day we were surprised with breakfast in the bush. It was a very special ending to a once in a lifetime trip!

Beautiful location in the middle of the Masai Mara park with Zebras and Giraffes spotted frequently from the terrace. Friendly people, really attentive service. The tent had all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Authentic experience getting to know the locals who work at the camp. We had the most amazing safari experience with Anthony who knew the park inside and out and where to spot all the animals. Thank you!
