A Luxury Tented Camp in Maasai Mara

At the Heart of the Pristine and Remote Masai Mara Wilderness
Enkakenya Camp is nestled in the heart of the untouched and remote Maasai Mara wilderness, offering an opulent safari experience on the banks of the Olare Orok River. This illustrious location is renowned for its enormous Nile crocodiles and hippos. Imagine sitting on your tent’s balcony at dawn, watching the savannah awaken while sipping a delightful morning beverage.
EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Julia2025-05-19Verified Amazing Retreat! This camp is so remote and so beautiful! The accommodations were clean and attractive. The food was delicious and well presented. We felt safe at all times during our stay and if there were any needs, they were met timely and with a smile. The wildlife was so close and I was able to go to sleep listening to hippos and elephants roaming nearby. Amazing! The only thing that I would suggest an improvement on is the warmth of the water for showering. It is heated via solar, but the amount of warm water was only enough for short duration and a single person in a double room. This is a place I will return to and would gladly recommend to others. Trish W2024-08-26Verified Amazing stay in beautiful Enkakenya! Enkakenya Camp was one of our favorite stops on our safari. The camp is small and personal. We had three beautiful cabins with all of the amenities one would need including a beautiful bathroom space with an indoor/outdoor shower. We were greeted daily by the staff who truly catered to our every need. They had a fire going and drinks available every night at the fire pit when we returned from our drives. The food here was insanely good and plentiful! The watchmen walked us to our tents each night and greeted us each morning. Niko and Susan have worked hard to create a dream destination in the Maasai Mara! Robyn G2024-08-20Verified African experience Our “tent” was luxurious and comfortable and big! The entire staff were excellent. They were attentive and friendly. The chef was amazing. Food was delicious and plentiful. We were bordering Massai Mara with animals around the perimeter and a friendly hippo that visited the camp on many nights. We could hear him and lions at night. Linda Edwards2024-08-18Verified Best 'tent' I've ever slept in! Enkakenya Camp was an unexpected delight. We were booked here as part of our safari and I'd not investigated it online so everything was a surprise. Firstly, the staff were wonderful. After a dusty day on safari, we headed down a little track in amongst the trees and there were the Maasai staff lined up in their regalia with cool towels waiting for us which was a perfect introduction. During our 3 nights there we found the staff to be quiet, attentive and friendly. So keen to help out with anything we needed. The meals were plentiful and tasty and wifi worked well in the lounge areas. The main 'tent' is more luxurious than many mainstream hotels with comfy furnishings and open to the central courtyard area. The tented accommodation is up a couple of steps on a plinth with large comfortable bed, separate ensuite and 2 showers (one indoors and one in a small courtyard outside). Being an unfenced camp, the Maasai staff were on hand to accompany us after dark to our rooms. It was fantastic to be so close to nature yet totally safe and so well looked after. Really enjoyed the luxury of this camp, together with the friendly and caring staff. Wayne J2024-07-22Verified Perfect experience Very good experience, recommend everyone to stay here. The service was very good. Every member of staff was very friendly and helpful. Any problem can be solved quickly. The most important thing is that the food is very very good. I stayed here for two nights and all the meals were different and delicious. The sauce and fried triangular pasta were amazing. We have staff waiting for you at night. Thank you very much. The hot shower is very good. there is a lot of water, and it is very convenient to take a bath. The rooms are large, spacious and very clean. Many thanks to every member of staff for their service and making our stay in the Masai Mara a wonderful night. Thank you Matilda O2023-12-27Verified Hidden gem In Maasai Mara! EnkaKenya Camp is a hidden gem located in the middle of Maasai Mara next to the river with easy access to game drives. The chef Kim made wonderful food for our family and the service was amazing. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the bush planned by the staff. They were quick, kind and thoughtful throughout our whole stay! Our tents that we stayed in were beautiful, the beds are super comfortable and the bathroom very clean! My absolute strongest recommendation to stay at EnkaKenya Camp when you plan your trip to Maasai Mara. Pierre M2023-11-29Verified Top expérience ! Super camp situé au milieu de la réserve naturelle. Très bien caché, voir même invisible car entouré de végétations et situé au bord d'une rivière. Tentes de qualité et proximité avec les hippopotames qui viennent se promener entre les tentes durant la nuit ! Expérience à recommander. Personnel aux petits soins. Climber630984446612023-09-14Verified Enkakenya. A bit of Paradise. Excellent location. Great food. Clean and comfortable. Guide (Eliud) was superb. The best stay we have had in the Mara and we have been there six times in the last 20 years. Located in the central region of the Mara it provides easy access to all areas. There was lots of wildlife even though the migration was just starting.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
