We loved every moment we were in your camp. You met all of our needs and more. The food was superb, our tent was a welcome pleasure after a day in the bush. I am admittedly not a camper but this experience was delightful.

The Ilkeliani Camp is a luxurious "tent" camp. The accommodations, including the "outside" show in back of your large, beautiful tent is outstanding. The staff is great. The upstairs in the eating and gathering area has a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside and of...More

Lovely place but proved very hard to get to by road. Julius, who took us on our safari trips was terrific and couldn't have been more helpful. Tent and accommodation very good. The booking process something of a nightmare in that Ilkeliani couldn't trace our...More

Nestled in a riverine forest in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, the area is a favourite for elephants coming to drink from the Talek River. Ilkeliani camp consists of only 17 tents, each commanding views of the plains …Moreand the wildlife action throughout the day. The tented rooms are raised up slightly on earth mounds, overlooking the river and the plains. These mounds are covered in vegetation, and feel quite natural, and each one has been sited under its own cluster of shady indigenous trees and you do feel like you are out in the wilderness. The camp now has a suspension bridge for easy access to the reserve for early game drives Less

Hello!!! The camp is fantastic and well placed. It's a tented camp and the distances between the tents and the main buildings are not very big but you'll have to walk through the camp which is quite wild. The staff is awesome, the only thing I would recommend to check would be about the menus for the kids (as there was a unique menu without many options to choose) and also about the possibility of sleeping all four in a tent as ours were for 2 although they were spacious. You must consider that the power is turned off any ours during the day at the tents but you always have supply in the main buildings. I think you'll be able to book directly with them through their website but I'm not 100% sure as we booked our whole safari trip with Sunworld Safaris which I strongly recommend. Have a great time in Kenya!!!
