A very nice hotel/camp. We had a lovely stay for the few days we were there. Nice staff and good food. The owner, a German lady was very friendly and helpful. However there was one incident where one member of my family had their earrings stolen from the tent. After looking and questioning the staff it was never found... beware.... More

After being in the Mara several times we decided this time to try out the Mara Bush Camp. I just can say: WOW. This experience was really special. The camp itself (directly on the river) provides the real africa feeling. Hence in the middle of the bush it made extremely tasteful. Also the staff is very well trained and assists... More

We recently stayed at the Mara Bush camp for four nights. It was our third safari style holiday. The Mara Bush camp is small tented camp with personalized service, so you feel pampered and special. Sabrine, the camp manager, is very efficient and welcoming. She takes time to see each group off in the morning and welcome everyone back from... More

We travelled from Canada as a family to complete a "bucket list" wish. The camp team hosted us like family. The tents were luxurious and clean. Food was prepared fresh and wholesome daily. The entire camp was well laid out and very private for the bush camp guests. The location was excellent. Saw all the big five within 2-3 hours,... More

I expected to be camping, but staying at Mara Bush Camp was like being at a luxury resort managed by family. Each person we met was so friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable, safe, and well rested for Safari. They remembered and called us by our names. They anticipated everything, from the hot showers after... More

Sun World Safari and the Mara Bush Camp were absolutely fantastic. I took my nearly 10 year old son on a 3 night, 4 day safari and we had the time of our lives. Everyone at the Mara Bush Camp treated him like royalty and made him feel so special. The camp was very relaxing and immediately became one of... More
