This was my second stay at Ilkeliani, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. From the moment of our arrival to our very sad to leave goodbye, we were treated with the best hospitality and kindness. The luxury of the rooms is unbelievable! Hot showers after unforgettable days spent animal watching, are just one of the many... More

Ilkeliani was more than I ever could have hoped for. The tents sit just above the river overlooking the Masai Mara. Laying in the tents at night listening to the wildlife all around you was incredible. The staff were all friendly and willing to help. The food was excellent for the entire stay. And sitting around the campfire for sundowners... More

This camp was absolutely fabulous! The tents were beautiful and wonderfully clean. We had a fantastic view of the river from our tent. Every evening when we were back in our tent, we would find our beds turned down with hot water bottles inside. The guards were very nice and I always felt completely safe, even when we could hear...

Situated on the banks of the Talek River, Ilkeliani sets the bar really high. On arrival, warm and smiling faces meet you with a refreshing cool towel, and a welcome drink. A short briefing by one of the Maasai staff makes you feel at ease as you are led through a complete indigenous landscape with sounds of the flowing river... More

I took my family to the Masai Mara for a week between Christmas and New Year and we spent 3 nights at Ilkeliani. I had been to a number of luxurious safari camps before and we got here one of the best service we've had anywhere. It's not a large camp and is unlike the commercialised hotel groups with camps...

When our son told us we were staying in "tents" my wife was a little hesitant, but these are tents in name only. We were in W9, and the day we arrived there was a very large crocodile sunning itself on the water's edge, only 50 metres away. Outstanding!! Good food for the carnivore, but the vegetarian in our party... More

For the most part, my views pretty match most people on TripAdvisor, but as a traveller that has spent quite a bit of time at various locations as a tourist of Africa, I was a bit dissapointed in Ilkeliani. This is my family's second time to the Mara with the first being the Serena and the Camp and the service... More

Ilkeliani Camp provides a delightful place to stay on the edge of the Mara, surrounded by wildlife and hosted by exceptional staff, nothing was too much trouble. The food was plentiful and varied, specific requests dealt with easily. The tents were well spaced out and comfortable, with lovely hot showers and flushing toilets. One piece of advice is to take...

I organised a trip for ecology students and we chose Ilkeliani as our base for trips to the Masai Mara. As a group of 16 we had people with special dietary requirements and i was a little worried about getting individually catered meals. I shouldn't have been; the staff were simply amazing and went beyond our expectations for making sure... More
