Everything about our stay at Mara Intrepids was great. We arrived in time to catch the 2nd of 3 daily safari drives and saw many animals -- close up! -- on our first time out. We stayed at the camp for 6 days. Although there are other activities available at the camp, we chose to take all 3 safari drives... More
