Tipilikwani Mara Camp

The Tipilkawani Mara camp was very beautiful and comfortable and great service. The accomadations, the beautiful suspension bridge over the Talek river to get to the lodge, the Masai guides who accompanied us from the lodge to the dining room and back, the dining room staff, the garden area, the pool, everything was really good. The food was very, very good and they have very good vegetarian options as well. They had packed us a really sumptuous breakfast when we set out on an early morning safari and had breakfast in the bush. All in all it was a wonderful stay and a great experience

Nous avons séjourné en famille 4 nuits dans ce lodge au bord de la rivière Talek. Idéalement situé le long de la réserve nationale du Masai Mara, avec un accès direct au parc via une passerelle piétonne, ce camp de toile tout confort est idéal pour un séjour avec des enfants. Le personnel a été aux petits soins pour nous, avec toujours une attention particulière au bien-être de notre fille, notamment le barman David que nous remercions chaleureusement ainsi que les gardes qui nous raccompagnaient la nuit et se démenaient pour nous dénicher des animaux à observer (bushbaby, chouettes…) Les plats, concoctés par le chef Sammy, choisis à la carte et servis à l’assiette, sont délicieux et très bien présentés. La salle de restaurant donnant sur le Masai Mara permet de voir les animaux tout en mangeant. Alec notre serveur a été à notre écoute à chaque repas. Notre tente, spacieuse et confortable avec une salle de douche en dur, permet de se reposer et de s’endormir en écoutant la savane. Merci à Malvin d’en avoir pris soin tout au long de notre séjour. Si nous devions séjourner à nouveau dans cette région, nous y reviendrions sans hésiter.

Posto fantastico.usato come base per il nostro Safari nel Masai Mara. Camere su palafitte tendate,atmosfera pazzesca. Ristorante con vista sulla riserva,quindi si possono intravedere animali e comunque di notte sentire un sacco di rumori della savana. Ristorante buonissimo,piatti curati anche nei dettagli.

With pedestrian bridge access directly into the reserve, the location is great and very convenient - no queueing. As others note the food is first class, plentful and good with specific dietary requirements. Staff are attentive - special mention to our guardians who looked after our tented accomodation all night and accompanied us when dark to eat or join early morning drives. Rosalyn was a great waitress who served us every mealtime. But Duncan, our guide, was truly exceptional. We were so lucky under his expert guidance to complete the big five. His empathy for and knowledge of nature here is brilliant and a real USP for the camp.

Went for some R&R on the last couple days of a mission trip. After hearing all they had been through with the flooding, we were very impressed with how hard they've worked to renovate the camp. They are well on their way to having all areas remodeled. We are thankful we could get in! Very nice people, and the game drives were amazing! Would definitely choose this camp again.

This was the first stop in our safari tour of Kenya. Everything was absolutely incredible, service, food, accommodations, all first class! Highly recommended and we would return here if we were going back to Mara. If you are going, arranging a sundowner is a must!
