Ashnil Mara Camp

My husband and I, and another couple went on safari for both our anniversaries. The Ashnil Mara camp was our second camp we stayed at. The location is perfect for game drives and is right on the Mara river. It's absolutely stunning! The tents are huge, but as they are canvas can be quite damp and dark as the lights are not very bright inside the tent itself. The bed is very comfortable and are protected with mosquito nets! The camp itself is very large. The main lodge has an open fire pit for the evenings and an open aired sitting area during the days. The food is incredible! Buffet style and a lot of variety. As the camp is on the river you have access to seeing hippopotamus daily, but you also have the privilege of being woken up by them as they are quite noisy. But it's a pretty cool alarm clock. The camp is solar powered which means access to power at all times and WiFi at the main lodge is pretty good. Everyone working at the lodge is very kind and helped make our safari very special. Thanks to everyone at the Ashnil Mara Camp!

We were a group of 32 People. We toured Ashnil Samburu, The Ark, Sarova Lionhill and Ashnil Mara camp as our last destinations. The camp is amazing, the food delicious and buffet varieties, the Rooms are spacious and all the staff are amazing from porters, front desk and waiters They did outstanding work - excellent.

Very good rooms - 2 single beds - exactly how we wanted it! Good range of food choices especially for Indian vegetarians. River flowing behind - we did see some animals. Heard lions and hippos in the early mornings. I wish I had spent more time seeing the property.

Our dream trip to the Maasai Mara finally came true, and the excitement was palpable. After a few short days of planning , Jacky ( Tranquil Expeditions) operating with a few days of notice delivered an itinerary that truly met our needs. 3 nights within the Maasai Mara Reserve next to the Maasai Mara River! Upon confirmation, we prepared for the trip only to be received on the material day by Jacky in a customized tour vehicle and driven by an experience guide. She come with flowers and a few brief notes explaining the route to Ashnil Mara Camp. Francis was extremely knowledgeable of the terrain, reserve and route ensuring that we experience an informative and expect trip . Francis was excellent, beyond the normal stops at view point Mai Mahui, he made sure that we arrived at Ashnil on time paving way for lunch, checking in procedures and and afternoon game drive. For 3 nights we experienced what Jacky via Francis had pieced together , exploratory drives in the Mara Triangle & beyond, tracking and sighting the big five in the Mara and comfortably shifting days through a tight Programme of wild life tracking, game drives and full days safari. Jacky’s safari camp selection was equally beneficial ( Ashnil Mara Camp). We were over run by crocodiles, lions, elephants, wild beasts and much more just by being inside the reserve and having the benefit excellent game drives from an experienced safari tour guide. Ultimately, the highlights are many but form our core belief of how a game drives safari should be run. Tranquil expeditions ensures that our itinerary covered all our initial needs and delivered beyond. Transport, accommodation and hospitality has always been key to an enjoyable safari and this trip experienced the very best from personalized organizational planning to execution. I highly recommend Tranquil Expeditions for their cost efficiency, impact and delivery!

Ashnil Mara Camp is an ideal camp to experience the Masai Mara in comfort. Right by the Mara River inside the reserve, it’s perfect for game drives, with knowledgeable guides like Kiefer, who take you close to big cats, elephants, antelopes and more. The tents are comfortable with private decks, and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable, always greeting you by name adds a welcoming touch. In the evenings, you can unwind by the campfire or enjoy the sounds of the hippos from your deck. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

My wife and I had an unforgettable experience visiting the Masai Mara Game Reserve, where we stayed at the beautiful Ashnil Mara Camp. The camp provided exceptional comfort, delicious meals, and stunning views of the Mara River, making our stay even more special. The breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife left us in awe. We were fortunate to see the Big Four lions, elephants, buffalo, and leopards up close in their natural habitat. The only animal we missed was the rhino, but the overall safari was nothing short of amazing. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured we made the most of our time in the reserve. Staying at Ashnil Mara Camp added a touch of luxury to our adventure, and we can’t wait to return for another visit!
