The accommodation, food, the game runs, our walk about in the Mara.... in short every minutes of our 48 hour two night stay was perfect! JOHN, our amazing guide went above and beyond to show us all that he knew was out there! We saw so much out on our early morning runs complete with breakfast under the Mara tree, then came back to the resort for a truly relaxing and enjoyable lunch... and off we went again for the afternoon/sunset game run...Wow! Our evenings were magical with a formal dinner and informative Massai presentation at the bar! Just Reseve, Pack up and Go! You will love it!

We stayed at Mara Intrepids Club in february. Our fantastic driver Silas Siele showed us the wild life with respect for the animals but understanding for our need for great photo ops.
Nelson treated us with great hospitality together with his colleagues, and Anna gave us massage.

Besides all lovely people working there I especially want to stress that Mara Intrepids Club has beautiful tents, situated by the river side. It is perfect in size, 30 tents, and the food was over all expectations. It has a boot camp trail for the ones with ants in their pants, and a pool with lovely fresh water for the lazy people.

I will certainly do everything i can to get back there as soon as possible.

We 5 adults have just made our annual pilgrimage to Intrepids and it just gets better ! Our sincere thanks to Edwin , Nelson , Tappen , and John - all such lovely people - we still miss you ! great tents, perfect location and if you want to see the big cats well its unbeatable ! See you again next year. The Big Five !

Mara Intrepids far exceeded our expectations - which were high! Our three night stay was due to be the pinnacle of our 2 week Kenya trip, and wow it was! From the minute we arrived, every member of staff was friendly and welcoming, in a really genuine way. Julius, who assisted us every mealtime, learned our names on day 1 and was fantastic. We generally struggled a bit in Kenya with late evening mealtimes for our 3 young boys (2, 4 and 6 years) but Mara Intrepids were great - they took special orders for the boys at lunchtimes and their food was brought straight away in the evening, no hanging around waiting for the adults to order or for different courses (there were 7!!!) to be finished before bringing the children's food, as so often happens in restaurants. This was really appreciated. The food itself was amazing - everything beautifully presented and tasted great. 4 out of 6 of our party are vegetarian and the choice was very good. As for our game drive guide, Sammy, he was outstanding. He found us amazing and new spectacles every drive and was very patient with our less-patient offspring. How he spotted a leopard's tail in a dense tree, whilst driving, I do not know!! Nothing disappointed, everything delighted. Very much hope to go on more drives with Sammy in the future - only animal not ticked off our list is the elusive black rhino, so certainly need to try again for that one! (Though if you're reading this Sammy, we did manage to see the black rhino that Oscar adopted in Nairobi before flying home!).

Intrepids is situated in a great spot - never drove long before spotting giraffe, a leopard, hippos, and so much more. The airstrip is also a handy 5 minute drive away. We even had the pleasure of seeing a plane surrounded by a dozen or more lions when we made a quick stop to pick up more passengers at a nearly airstrip. Such amazing memories.

I hope we will be fortunate enough to return to Mara Intrepids someday (hopefully soon!).
