Tripadvisor Reviews Basecamp Masai Mara

"We specifically wanted an authentic not "plastic" kind of holiday and we werent disappointed . From the moment we were picked up the airstrip we were blown away. We saw a giraffe with a calf that was right in front of us."
"The camp is simply stunning. A challenging walk across a slightly wobbly bridge over the river brings you into the camp. The tents are wonderfully appointed. Comfortable beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and with verandas overlooking the river where we saw all sorts of wildlife coming and going from the comfort of our swing chair."
