Entumoto Safari Camp

Entumoto Safari Camp

10/10 Excellent
"We had an extraordinary experience at Entumoto Safari camp! The Conservancy in which its located proved a truly peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the adjacent Maasai Mara National Park, however, its water hole still brought Elephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Waterbucks, Zebras and several other animals right up to our camp (we watched them over our fantastic breakfast and lunches). Separately, our excellent guide Purity ensured that our two full day game drives in the Mara park itself lived up to their "once in a lifetime" billing, allowing us to see not only the 'Big 5', the 'Ugly 5', and the Wildebeest Migration, but also a number of more intimate encounters with wildlife just feet away from our excellent open top/sides Land Cruisers. We can't recommend this camp highly enough and certainly hope to return with additional family members: our group of 2+1 stayed in a 2 bedroom Family Tent, which could easily have also fit 2-3 additional family members (presumably via prior arrangement with camp mgmt)."

10/10 Excellent
"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!"

"Another Unforgettable Safari Experience As always, our stay was absolutely amazing. There’s a reason we keep coming back! The staff is truly excellent—they make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Our tent was fantastic, perfectly blending luxury amenities with the raw beauty of the surroundings. The food was wonderful at every meal, and you simply cannot beat the location for safari game drives especially with guide Samson! We saw so much wildlife!

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?
Prices for hotels in Mara Simba often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $27 on Expedia.
