I had a wonderful stay at this camp just outside the park. When booking, I suggest you book tent 5 or 6 which have amazing views over the park and the Mara river below. The staff are brilliant and are always asking how you are and whether they can do anything for you. They greet you warmly as you return from safari. There’s a plunge pool which overlooks the park. I didn’t use it but it has a wonderful view. The food menu is limited but good quality and I enjoyed it all. Jacob was my amazing guide and I nominate him for “Masai Mara guide of the year”. He had everything a good guide should: great knowledge, a good network amongst the other guides and he was always checking what I wanted to see and doing his utmost to make sure I saw all the game I wanted, including a crossing. Everytime we moved on, he checked that I was ready. May he be picking flowers in the Mara for many years to come.…

What a wonderful place. The view. The people around Joel and Christin responsible at this camp are very friendly and accommodating causing a warm, family atmosphere. People often have a casual conversation about their experiences. And of course, the Masai Mara is higly recommended - Mara Siria is a very convenient starting point. We had two incredible days with Defton (I'm not sure if the name is spelled correctly), who was competent, humorous, relaxed, but extremely committed to going the extra mile for great experiences. The food and drink is not star chefs but more than fine and just as appropriate.

We stayed for 2 nights in one of the deluxe tents. The camp was basic but had all necessities needed. The staff was amazing, we where welcomed and checked in by Emanuel. Food was basic but good. Included in the stay are the; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and coffee/thee. Drinks where charged separately that where reasonably priced. We got The location is just the best, close to the gate and animal sightings everywhere. The gate where the camp is located is one of the more quite ones but on this side of the Mara the animals where the best. No big crouds with lots of vehicles like on the other side near the main gate. We booked though Phoenix Safaris, this camp is owned by them. With our booking we got a driver that drove us all around to all places we went to. Our driver was Richard, OMG, this is the best you could get! He is the best driver and guide and especially animal spotter out there. He was always the first guide around to spot a special animal and then other guides would join and watch the sighting, he was friends with all the other guides and knew the staff at the Mara gates and made our trip the best! During our stay we also booked a Hot Airballoon morning safari with champagne breakfast, this is a once in a lifetime experience and a definite must do! After the breakfast our superguide was ready to take us the rest of the day on a gamedrive, he took the lunch packed from the resort, this way we could make the most of our day and not have to go back to the camp for lunch. Only comment i could give is place a water kettle in the room so guests could make coffee or tea in the deluxe tents. …

Having just returned from a wonderful twelve-day visit to Kenya organized by Phoenix Safaris, I can unreservedly recommend this travel company. Iris put together an itinerary that gave us a perfect first impression of this beautiful country, and of the safari lodges where we stayed, their own Mara Siria tented camp at Masai Mara was the highlight: luxurious accommodation, incredibly friendly staff, lovingly prepared meals. When they inquire about dietary concerns on arrival, they mean it. I was pampered with specially prepared, onion-free dinners for our three nights there. And the view from Tent 5 was spectacular. We are sure to return and bring the family.

We had a wonderful stay at Mara Siria. The camp is in a stunning location with terrific views from the escarpment to the plain below, and the tents are very well spread out amongst the trees to give privacy and a sense of the natural environment. Food was excellent. The game in the Mara triangle is superb and the guides at the camp make the game drives unforgettable. Indeed all the staff at Mara Siria are incredibly helpful, friendly, professional and knowledgable - they couldn't do enough to make our stay as memorable as possible. Overall we had an amazing holiday and couldn't recommend Mara Siria highly enough.

What an amazing experience thank you!! Communication was excellent before and throughout the holiday! We had an experience of a lifetime, the camp was incredibly beautiful and the views were amazing! The staff were so lovely and kind looking out for us all the way, the food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing! The camp is very close to the entrance of The Masai Mara so the adventure started immediately! Bonnie, our driver, was excellent always on the lookout for the animals and was very knowledgable too! He worked really hard to help us spot the next exciting animal and he looked out for us throughout! Thank you Thank you Thank you

A quick note from myself and my girlfriend who were very fortunate to stay at your wonderful and stunning Mara Siria camp over a week ago. and also whether this was luck or planned I don’t know you did give us the one tent that has the best view! Richard our guide was great and we had an amazing day in the park getting to see all of the big five and much more. You have an excellent platoon of staff at the camp who work tirelessly in making sure that all of your guests are well catered for. I wanted to highlight in particular Charlie (whom I believe is there at your camp on secondment from the UK) who clearly being new to the Mara and your camp still wanted to make sure that all of the guests were comfortable from the moment that we arrived into camp. Emmanuel and Christine too were fantastic and did always try and go the extra mile.…

Mara Siria Camp is perfect for nature loving people! The tents offer everything you need (especially the luxury ones) and give stunning views. The whole area is embedded in nature, the places to sit outside near the main tent are beautiful. Even you can see and hear the Mara river. Very friendly staff! Everything worked well! And the amazing little pool... breathtaking!
