Talek Vacation Rentals

"I had the perfect stay at Mara Intrepids. The rooms were charming and the food was delicious. But what really makes the camp special is the people. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and I felt like I was part of a big family even though I was traveling alone. Our guide Ezekiel was magnificent and Lawrence took great care of me in the dining room every day (even charging my phone daily). I can’t wait to return. "

"Great experience and beautiful property "

"Amazing place with great service and staff. Very comfortable rooms and food was excellent. Wished we stayed longer and definitely return. "

"My wife and I stayed at Mara Explorer for 6 nights in September 2023. This was our third Safari in Kenya. The Mara Explorer is the most magical and enchanting location for a safari I could ever imagine. Everything was impeccable - the amazingly friendly and professional staff, wonderful hospitality, service, and beautiful food. The tents are an absolute privilege to stay in, especially being woken up to the hippo chorus at each morning! The bed was so comfy - I slept like never before. The drives were just incredible! Witnessing the migration at its peak was a humbling experience. We saw numerous spectacular crossings and the big five. A huge thank you to everyone at Mara Explorer, especially Dominic our guide. Spending several hours a day with him for 6 days was a joy and he tirelessly ensured we found a rhino (on our very last drive!). He is a true gentleman and an expert wildlife guide. I have never experienced 4x4 driving like his - we didn't get stuck once in sometimes very challenging conditions and always made us feel safe and comfortable - as did everyone at the camp. To sum up. If you want a dream 5-star Masai mara safari, choose Mara Explorer. Richard and Katie"

"David and his team were exceptional! All meals were delicious and prepared fresh by their chef. Very close (5-7 minute) to the gate park! They have so many add on features including a champagne breakfast within Maasai Mara National Park…They also have photography options to capture your moments. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The bathrooms and kitchens can use some revamping but David is constantly making improvements to the space. Looking forward to staying here again. "

"We had a delightful stay at Keekorock! The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. The grounds have to be seen to believe, and the location cannot be beat."

"Excellent hotel on the edge of the Masai Mara with a pedestrian bridge into the park so that you can meet your driver on the other side and avoid the Talek gate. Food was OK and the drinks reasonably priced. But it is the amazing staff that make this hotel special. Highly recommended."

"From the shower not working to the limited meal menus, ot the inconvient room, to the freezing nights, it was too mucj We would have checked out if we have a choice"

"Nice tented camp, the tents are new and covered on a platform. You look right onto the Talek River. At night zebra, hippos other wildlife come to drink. You are next to the park gate, it is a busy gate complete with the busy balloon guys. But you are right in the park no long drive, you just start your Safari right after your breakfast. "
