The more remote location of this camp gets you away from all the other safari vehicles but the game viewing is still outstanding. We saw everything but a wildebeest river crossing during our stay."

Ubuntu means "humanity" in Swahili. (…) Our five star rating goes beyond the typical lodge experience, we really discovered some profound lessons there. Ubuntu reminds us that we can be our best selves — don’t be so hard on humanity that you stop seeing the solutions for balanced living that a small group of Africans living and working in the middle of nowhere have been able to come up with."

I have never felt more at home than I did at the Topi House. Absolutely beautiful setting, great sunsets by the fire, fantastic food, lots of humor. House was immaculately clean. The staff, who I can't all name, were so solicitous - whatever we needed or thought we wanted, they made sure we had it. Leonard was a suburb chief! He really needs to put together a cookbook. He spent hours hand writing receipes for me. Our host Salaash and his right hand man, Loli, were just fantastic. Salaash knows the Mara like the back of his hand. A fantastic guide and person. I hope to return and when I do, the Topi House is my #1."

It was our first trip to Africa and Naboisho Camp was a fantastic setting for our safari experience! The tents were luxurious and welcoming. We were right in the bush."

Peter and his staff were just wonderful and the food was amazing and the environment breath-taking. Our tent was better than any hotel we have stayed in as it felt so homely and warm. (…) We loved the interaction of the staff and felt like after 2 nights we were leaving lifelong friends."

Olakira provides the experience of living in the bush in a tent and yet offers all the comfort and amenities of a luxury hotel. (…) There are other camps in Serengeti that offer more luxury. However what Olakira offers strikes a balance between wildlife experience and comfort. That is what we were looking for."

After a 9-day safari we were ready to relax. The resort is beautiful and the staff is magnificent. We were met by David (the manager) and our butler for our stay, from then on we were treated like family. Everyone knows your name and is so friendly. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there. Our friends contacted the resort prior to our visit and we surprised by a dinner on our friends rooftop. It was beautiful and the staff joined us to celebrate. I cried when we left. And I will return. Oh wait. Salem, Abdi and Edi. You are in our hearts forever."

A really wonderful stay - the location is stunning and the pool a real bonus with a 12 year old. The view over to Kenya from the pool was amazing."

I have now been to Rekero 8 times and wouldn't stay anywhere else in the main Maasai Mara Reserve. Why? It's not just about the location, which is unbeatable, or about the fantastic game viewing close to camp. Every guest is made to feel welcome and special at Rekero - not just by the managers and guides, but by all the team. The tents overlooking the Talek river, the service and food are all first-class. What could be better than listening to the sounds of the African night in such a beautiful setting? Great for families, couples and people travelling by themselves. "

Our travel agent had told us that this camp was one of her favourites in Tanzania so our expectations were very high. We were certainly not disappointed - this is a fantastic camp in every way!"
