Wonderfull 4 nights in Kandili Camp. Absolutely recommendable, the staff is friendly and well trained. Great safari guides that are well connected and informed and gave everything to give us an unforgettable experience. The food is delicious and well taken care off. Seamless operations and nothing at all to improve for the setup they have. A truely authentic camp that fits in the location perfectly.

If you are looking for a true experience in the Savannah wilderness, check this camp. The staff makes you feel like at home, the food is absolutely delicious and healthy, the tents are luxurious and very comfortable, and every space is stunning and unique as Kandili camp is in a quite area and away from the crowd and other lodges. There are guardians that make you feel safe always, as animals are around and can come at any time. We were able to explore the area by foot with one of the Masai and saw many elephants and giraffes around. It was the best stop during our safari trip in Kenya, and the best way to say goodbye before we left to Zanzibar. Thank you so much again for one of the best experiences in our life.

The camp is in a private conservancy which means it's outside the main game reserve. This meant it was a bit quieter and didn't feel like a safari tourist train. It felt secluded and peaceful. The guides and staff were wonderful and warm. The accommodation was beautiful and every day the team would prepare it for us perfectly. I didn't want to leave at the end of my stay! I would love to come back again.

We stayed for 2 nights. Beautiful camp which makes you feel you are in the wild. Amazing view of the sunset from the rooms and fantastic outdoor meals under the Acacia tree at the fire place. Food was good. Guides are really great - we had very nice game drives. Staff were all very friendly. We can highly recommend Kandili camp.

Kandili Camp gave us the best week of our lives. The absolute best service we have ever experienced, every staff member is incredible. Our guides for the game drives, David and George, were unbelievably knowledgeable and skilled at finding animals. We had numerous occasions where we were the only vehicle around watching a cheetah hunt, or an elephant herd, a pack of hyenas devouring a buffalo, or a pride of lions resting in the shade, just truly once in a lifetime moments. The camp is stunning. The tents are beautifully designed and luxurious. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious also. The bush meals were quite luxurious also, always with amazing views and plenty of quality food options. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kandili is the best camp in the Maasai Mara.
