Our family of five stayed at Mara Siria for three nights in two deluxe tents, and the experience was truly beyond words. The camp’s location is absolutely breathtaking, and we received a wonderfully warm welcome from Joel, Ronny, Emanuel and the entire team, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. We felt completely comfortable while still being beautifully connected to nature. The food and drinks were excellent – Siria Dawa is an absolute must-try! Our driver, Richard from Phoenix Safaris, went above and beyond to show us the very best of the Masai Mara, making our safari truly unforgettable. In addition to the game drives, we enjoyed a guided nature walk with Emanuel and a visit to a Maasai village – both experiences are highly recommended. All in all, Mara Siria will stay in our hearts, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality, eco-friendly accommodation for their Masai Mara adventure.

This was our first safari experience. This camp exceeded our expectations. The view is phenomenal. It's about 15 minutes from the park entrance. But what was most outstanding was the service. My father was a hotelier, so I have stayed in my fair share of accommodation, and without a doubt the service at Mara Siria was second to none. As an example we were playing cards at dusk, and were thinking to move up to the lounge area. Without being aware of this or being asked, Ronny brought us a light. ALL the staff were fantastic. The food was delicious, although I do wish there was a traditional Kenyan dish served. Even our safari lunch was fabulous.

Myself and my two grown up daughters stayed at Mara Siria for 2 nights. Breath taking position over the Mara River and the valley below the hill top, views were phenomenal. Seeing the hot air balloons setting off from the valley below in the early morning was special. Loved the rustic tents, although I think we broke the electricity by charging so many devices! All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the hot water bottles at night time were a lovely touch. Still can't get over the amount of wildlife in and around camp. It's a perfect base to explore the Maasi Mara which is also beyond words.

My husband and I stayed in Mara Siria for 2 nights on our honeymoon and it was incredible. The views, tents and food were all fab. The staff were amazing- Jacob, Joel, Oscar and all the team were so knowledgeable and helpful and went out of the way to make our stay as good as possible. Would definitely stay there again! Loved it all!!

We booked our stay through Phoenix Safari and everything at the Mara Siria camp was comfortable, clean, delicious, and service oriented. The game drivers are so experienced and knowledgeable on finding and getting you as close to the animals as possible. I loved the open air Safari vehicles they were comfortable and allowed you to move about from left to right as the animals crossed the roads. All the staff at the camp were so helpful. The tents themselves were very clean and comfortable. I felt safe and protected while in my room, but still at one with nature. Food is absolutely delicious. The made to order breakfast was perfect at the camp but also they packed wonderful meals for us to have out on the road.
