We enjoyed our Safari at Mara Timbo Camp. During the 25min to Mara Timbo Camp from Kichwa Tembo airstrip we drove by a huge herd of elephants - that was a welcome to the Mara at its best ! The tents in the camp were very well furnished and in the morning we could see the sun rising as me... more

This place is a little difficult to get to but it is worth the drive! All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The tents were beyond anything we had hoped to find in Kenya. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and I was pleasantly surprised to find a river rock tub that I could soak in.... more

It is true that Mara Timbo is set beautifully on the river, and that the rooms are exquisite, but what they forget to tell you is that it takes an hour to travel from the camp to the park, which means that you have to add two hours coming and going for a game-drive... This means that if you arrive... more

We did a two week hiking and safari tour. We have chosen Mara Timbo due to the limited number of tents. If you are looking for a very private place perfectly embeded in mother nature and offeing high quality service; Mara Timbo is the perfect place. Great hospitality, luxurious tents, especially the bathtube is great ;-), and good food that... more

Amazing is the only word to describe this camp!! We were in Kenya for two weeks staying in Diani beach (near Mobassa). We flew up to Masai Mara for three days (two nights) and stayed at Mara Timbo. It is honestly a five star camp. I wouldn't call myself a 'camper' (like a comfy bed etc) but this was much... more

The care and attention we received was very good.. The attention paid to those special little details made it all the more memorable. The staff were very friendly and approachable and made our stay etremely enjoyable. The game drives were well organised and the animals seem to turn up, as if ordered by the guide, to appear Mara Timbo deserve... more

After having travelled 4 hours with our Landcruiser from Nairobi through the scenic rift valley, negotiating everything 4x4 enthusiasts would wish for (except if you have teenager girls in the back), ranging from premier class tarmac roads to washed out ditches full of mud, only altered by section with quick sand. The trip itself is already a sort of game... more

This is one of the most beautiful camp we have ever seen in the Masai Mara ! If you really want to relax, this is the right place . Perfect scenery direct on the border of the Mara River. Perfect service, food in the middle of the bush, far from stress. Just perfect ! Luca, Julian, Cissa and Ludwig more

I stayed in mara Timbo for two nights last week. It was unforgettable! From the minute I landed I was overwhelmed with animals all around me. The camp is in the middle of the bush, so even when you stay at the camp you will see plenty of animals. I did a nature walk around the camp and we saw... more

Within my 2 weeks safari through the main nationalparks of Kenya in the Mara I have visited the just opened Mara Timbo Camp in the western part of Masai Mara for two nights. I do have to say, this camp is really stunning!! Their Masai Guide Kinanta together with a driver picked me up from the airstrip and the first... more
