We stayed at Kilima Camp for one night in May (Rainy season). It was a tough drive from the Nairobi side of the Masai Mara to the Escarpment on which Kilima is excellently position, but the view from the restaurant/bar is amazing over the plains of the Mara and the Mara River certainly made up for it. Our tent was... More

Was in Nairobi on business and a co-worker set up two nights at Kilima camp. I had no idea! It was amazing. It was low season so I got the driver and camp all to myself. Everyone was great and the safari drives amazing. I arrived in the morning and did an afternoon drive to the park so the entrance... More

We spent 4 nights at the Kilima camp in November 2011 and it proved the perfect base for a safari in the Mara. The camp is small and has an intimate feel, which we prefer to larger, more crowded camps. The views over the Mara are incredible first thing in the morning and the food was (surprisingly) good, as were... More

I spent two nights at Kilima in December 2011 while on safari. The setting is the most exceptional feature of Kilima, looking down over the escarpment. Beautiful views, especially in the early morning. The secluded outdoor bathtub overlooking the escarpment is a great feature! The food was delicious, and we enjoyed our secret Kilima welcome cocktails in the evening. Our... More

Kilima Camp is a wonderful place to stay! The key for me was the amazing view over the Masai Mara - I have visited other camps there, but all on ground level, so it was brilliant to be able to look out over the Mara as dawn broke! My friend and I got up especially early so that we could... More

The camp is small friendly, and in a great location overlooking the Mara River (also no mosquitoes because of the altitude).

My husband and I stayed at Kilima Camp for 3 nights second week of September. This was the 3rd time on safari and we've stayed in several other camps and loved them, but Kilima camp is just perfect.
