Fig Tree Camp - Maasai Mara

Jambo, Hands down the trip of a life time! At the heart of the trip is the amazing Fig Tree Camp. The camp is surrounded by wildlife. Hippos and baboons can be seen from the safety of your riverside tent. Make sure to bring a set of ear plugs as the hippos are extremely loud during twilight hours. Hyena can also be heard at night time with their signature ‘whoo up’ sounds. The camp is situated on the Talek River which makes it situated in the heart of the habitat of local wildlife. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, food is amazing and the pool is handy in between game drives. The bar area is a fantastic place to talk to other visitors about your experiences while enjoying coffee or a bottle of Tusker or Two, be sure to try a cocktail made by the Maasai Maras number one mixologist Gideon and his assistants. Where to start with the game drives. This has to be hands down the most enjoyable experience I have ever had. A four day game drive gave me the opportunity to see the ‘Big Five’ and everything else the Maasai Mara had to offer. The highlight of the trip has to be watching a large male Lion steal a kill from a clan of Hyena at sunrise. I was also fortunate enough to see three week old Lion cubs and four separate Leopards. A lioness was also chased into the bush by a herd of elephants and unbeknown, a Black Rhino came hurtling out of the bush. My guide and guardian Johnathan was on point everyday and knew where to find the local wildlife. I also had the opportunity to visit a Maasai Village and experience the culture of the legendary Maasai Warriors. Do not hesitate to book your visit to the Maasai Mara and the Fig Tree Camp Asante❤️ Jay

It’s beautiful. The pictures don’t lie. You can see hippos and crocodiles from some of the rooms and it’s mesmerising to see the dynamic between them. Staff especially at the reception can’t be more helpful and kind. I felt I’m in my family home. We hat a bush walk with Maitai( I hope I spelled his name right) which was so rich and memorable. Gave drive with Hirami was also very good. The food is delicious and having all those birds around makes everything even nicer.

Really great experience! Loved sitting outside and watching the hippos in the river. So peaceful and felt truly surrounded by nature. The staff was very attentive and always willing to help. Good food at the restaurant with a great variety of mains and desserts. As its in the park, it was amazing that we could literally drive out and see giraffes, zebras and wildebeest within meters of the camp.

Staying at Fig Tree Camp inside the Masai Mara was nothing short of magical. The property is set right on the river, offering an unbeatable view — we spent hours simply watching hippos play and bathe just a few feet away. It’s an experience in itself! The camp is beautifully spread out, giving you the true feeling of being in the wild while staying completely secure. The staff was extremely courteous and always ready to help, no matter the time of day. From arranging custom requests to ensuring our comfort, they made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the hospitality, top-notch. Whether you're here for wildlife or just want to unwind in nature, Fig Tree is the perfect place. Highly recommend for those looking to experience the heart of the Masai Mara with comfort and style!
