Top Mara Simba Hotel Reviews

Entumoto Safari Camp

Entumoto Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing way to spend a couple of days in the Masai Mara, the team were super attentive and always willing to help - such a great team. The tents were of a good size and comfortable, - additionally we had a great view of the watering hole in the camp were we could watch animals freely roam to come for a drinking (elephants, zebra and impalas) Food was of good quality with a lot of ingredients from their garden (definitely recommend visiting if you have green fingers ) We had the best Safari guide with Berthwell, he was fantastic and so knowledgable - we got the big five within the first 2 hours, before a lovely bush breakfast! I would love to go back again and highly recommend Entumoto Safari Camp to anyone visiting the Mara"

10/10 Excellent
"Without a doubt, one of the best camps I have ever stayed at! Mara Major camp made our visit to the Masai Mara as special and unforgettable as it could be. It’s a unique ecolodge that works closely with the Maasai community, making your stay meaningful and allowing you to directly support the local community. Another highlight is that the guides are Maasai, and their incredible knowledge of the land and animal behavior leads to unforgettable wildlife encounters. The game drives were truly as good as it gets! A special shoutout to our guide, Sam, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we saw the things we wanted and made our experience truly exceptional. I cannot recommend Mara Major camp enough. If you’re visiting the Masai Mara, this is the place to stay!"

"Mara Hilltop was the highlight of our trip! Amazing location and the Luxury rooms are incredible. Very attentive staff as well - shout out to Steve and Lucy! What surprised me is, even though you're outside the park - it's pretty much the same as being inside the park. The animals are all around, and you get the benefit of walking in the nature with the Maasai guides, etc Highly recommend it!"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Mara Simba?
The best time to go to Mara Simba is during the dry season, from July to October, or the shorter dry season in January and February.The dry seasons offer the most predictable weather and the best wildlife viewing opportunities. During July to October, the Great Migration typically passes through the Mara, bringing millions of wildebeest and zebras into the area. This spectacle is a major draw for visitors. The vegetation is sparser during these months, making it easier to spot animals, and they tend to congregate around water sources.For those looking for a slightly quieter experience while still enjoying excellent wildlife viewing, January and February are also great. The weather is warm and dry, and while the Great Migration isn't present, the resident wildlife population is abundant and easily observed. This period can also be good for birdwatching as migratory birds are often present.The "green season," from November to May, offers a different experience with lush landscapes and newborn animals, but heavy rains can make some roads impassable, and wildlife viewing can be more challenging.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Mara Simba.
How much is the nightly rate at a Mara Simba hotel?
