Hotels near Mara Simba

The property is situated very near to the Sekeneni Gate and almost in the wilderness. We could hear Hyena howling and saw a number of zebras and warthogs near the property. The tents are large, simple but had everything we needed starting from hot water, toiletries, water, good bed. But the best part of the stay was the excellent staff especially Shoila who helped a lot.

If you looking for authentic hustle-free experience look no more! Guys from Narasha were amazing. Transfer from Nairobi was very well organised, and we had very warm welcome with amazing dinner. They also had their driver guide Kindey who was very experienced and showed many special things. Of course we seen every possible animal. Breakfast and Lunch was packed for us each morning so we could enjoy it in wilderness. Accommodation was spotless with lovely bathroom big room and very comfy bed with moskito net. Manager Merci, chef Lucky, guide Kindy and our guard William made our safari trip magical and unforgettable.(We stayed for 3nights in mid September.)

The hosts were amazing, showing us Maasai culture. The tent was very comfortable and clean, with mosquito nets over beds, warm shower, toilets etc. we also organised guide, visit to Maasai village and dinner through Lucas and his team. Incredible value and rustic way to experience the Maasai Mara.

The location of the camp is perfect since it's only about 5 minutes from the entrance to the park. It's not exactly where it's located on the map here on booking, but about two kilometers from the gate. No worries, someone will pick you up. We stayed two nights for our budget safari. We enjoyed a reasonably priced full-day safari in their jeep with James (the owner) and John (one of the maasai man). We saw a lot of animals and the guys made sure we enjoyed it. At the same time, we appreciated they followed the rules and didn't disturb the animals. The accommodation is really basic and could definitely be cheaper. But these are unfortunately the prices in Mara. There was a hot shower and okay bed. The included breakfast was pretty basic but nice (some toast, pancakes, and eggs with store-bought toppings) and the chef made a nice vegetarian dinner. Nothing fancy, but a nice home-cooked meal. You can also ask for a picnic/packed lunch for the safari day, although we brought our own food. The price for lunch/dinner is 10 USD. You can even get a beer, just make sure to check the price, since they might try to ask you for a crazy price, but will go down with it. There is also a possibility to do some activities like a walk around the village, watch the local dance, etc. if you're interested (we were not and no one pushed us to go for it). We got to Sekennani with a matatu and the guys from the camp got us one for the way back as well. We were picked-up at the camp, which was very convenient. We paid the same price as for the way there, although we again had to haggle.

all was perfect, the people was amazing! friendly and helpful. tha food rely good..

Very warm and kind people manning the Camp, from housekeepers to Reception. Excellent spread and sumptuous Breakfast. Superb people running the show in Dining Area, even interns were full of Enthusiasm. Well maintained Swimming pool and overall a superb camouflaged accommodation in midst of vast wilderness. Amazing sitout at Bar, splendid evening show, awesome Mini Club to wind down in evening from Club Tent, Their team hasn't left any stone unturned to make it more memorable than Safari as well.

Everything was perfect.Quite place near gate,super staff...Not luxury ,but we dont need anything more.

Amazing friendly people! Delicious food (we had the all-inclusive option and breakfast, lunch and Dinner was very well cooked and delicious). Super clean und comfortable tents and cabins. It is a community based project; eg children profit from the generated income. It is located only 5 minutes away from Sekenani Gate. Therefore it is perfectly suited to stay here for 2/3 nights and to do a game drive to Maasai Mara (160$ per car). Please note to bring enough cash to pay the entrance fee of 100 or 200$/person to the Maasai Mara (credit card usually does not work). We booked the game drive with Semadep Safari Camp and we had an amazing game drive day with Dennis (guide) and Jhon (Driver). Both of them are so wonderful people and showed us so many animals. We had our Breakfast and lunch during the safari since we left 5:45. Both was very well prepared from Semadep chef.

Very friendly staff, excellent food. Good location
