“Authentic, incredible food, really kind people”
+It's an incredible location - outside the Mara Conservancy so you see huge amounts of animals and can drive to see them - also if you're outside the Conservancy you don't have to pay the 200dollars a day per person fee. That makes a big difference. The team at Enkusero are fantastic - friendly, attentive, kind and William is a great guide and host. The tents are clean and the meals are incredible. The lodge is an eco lodge , so if it's raining, you may be waiting on electricity! And there is little else to do than your game drives - there is tents, incredible food, and that's it. I'd recommend this place if you'd like an authentic experience and if you're prepared not to be pampered / entertained. The drives are all included except on your last day. This saves a huge amount in comparison to other lodges where you're booking per person.
−I'd say communication around food could have been a little clearer, and also without other guests staying it can be a little isolated... but many people come for an authentic experience and not to have to mingle with huge amounts of other travellers!

“Tented camp in fantastic location, true safari experience, great value for money.”
+Small (3 tents, one of which is a large family tent), intimate, charming camp, unfenced, ideally located, in the north conservancy, just 5 minutes from the Maasai Mara’s Musiara gate entrance, 15 minutes from the air strip. Completely local ownership and management, which we highly value and one of the reasons we chose this, together with the location and the small size. We had tent 3, high on stilts, large, private, wooden floors, huge netted windows, outside deck all around, unobstructed views on the savannah. Big comfortable bed with good mattress, en-suite bathroom with toilet and huge shower, running water. Electricity and hot water are solar - electricity is around the clock, so maybe the camp tops it up at night with a generator, but we never heard one. Large, charming traditional mess tent, with bar area, and extra lounge, wonderful outdoor deck with fire pit, small plunge pool with deck chairs. Food was excellent, they will apparently cater to dietary needs but have a fixed menu. Most meals in the mess tent, some scenically set in the bush. All drinks were included as was daily laundry. Highly knowledgeable and dedicated guides (William the owner, and Alex), game drives we
−It should be clear that the following points are NOT negatives to us, but positives! But they might be negatives to someone, and we would be sad if anyone were to give negative reviews because of this, so better read and be informed than disappointed. This is an unfenced safari tented camp, so animals will walk by camp and occasionally it might be predators. You will see animals in daytime and hear them at night - from our tent we saw and heard giraffes chewing and elephants walking close by day, and heard hyenas howling and lions grunting in the distance by night.... However we were always accompanied by 2 Maasais after sunset and before sunrise, and they were on guard all night. Hot water is solar, so if you take a hot shower in the evening, you probably won’t have hot water early in the morning. Electricity is around the clock, but you won’t have a blow dryer and the lighting might not be quite enough to apply makeup after sunset and before sunrise. You’ll have wi-fi in the mess tent but probably not in your guest tent. There are no spa treatments, no large swimming pools, no big menus, no long wine lists. But the staff will fulfill any wish within their means, at any time. This

“Book immediately, you won’t regret it!!”
+INCREDIBLE! All the pictures on booking.com, their website & on social media could not do Enkusero Mara justice, we could not fault any part of our stay. More so William, Amos, Bise, Alex & Dominic made us feel at home the moment we were picked up from the airstrip. The food was absolutely divine, our bedrooms were beautiful & the game drives were out of this world, we saw everything & more. We wish we could have extended our stay, but we will most definitely be back. Thank you so much Enkusero family, we miss you all already!

“Fantastic stay with personalised experience. Loved it here”
+Fantastic staff! With personalised attention on our needs for Safari and cuisine. We are vegetarians and they took special care to ensure we had fantastic food. The fact that this is open and in the wild, gives a great immersive experience at night
−Nothing really. We liked it all.

“Exceptional”
+We had a PHENOMENAL time at Enkusero. It exceeded our (already high) expectations and gave us a more intimate experience we wouldn't have gotten from a bigger camp. William and Alex are so knowledgeable; thanks to them, we saw the very rare Wildebeest Migration crossing, two prides of lions (very close!), a cheetah, several hippos, plus tons more! The camp is in a conservancy and very close to the reserve, so we had our pick of animals to watch! The tents were luxurious and we appreciated the beautiful decor and the little touches (turndown service, laundry, great smelling bath products, etc.). The food was AMAZING, some of the best I've ever had. We felt very safe the whole time, and the kind, helpful staff made our trip extra special. Enkusero is also locally owned and operated. Would ABSOLUTELY stay again...thanks to William and his entire staff for the amazing stay!
−Nothing bad to say! Enkusero is amazing!

“Best stay ever. We will never forget this wonderful experience.”
+Perfection. Travelling for 30+ years this was our best stay ever. We will forever be grateful to William and his wonderful staff for making this a magic trip. Our rooms were very comfortable, loved the laundry service and we still rave about the amazing food. We saw all the animals we dreamed off including 500 zebras crossing the river and two small lion cubs with their mom. We heard lions roar just outside the camp, and saw an elephant grassing right next to the camp. And still at all times we felt perfectly safe.
−Nothing.

“A truly magical, personalized first safari with the best staff”
+Very well run with clean, comfy rooms that did not feel like tents.
−Overall everything was great! There were a few very small things that could have been improved like it would have been nice to have coffee and a snack before the morning game drives but otherwise exceptional
