About

You're right next to Talek Gate so animals wander past your tent — hippos in the morning, zebras at dusk — and Abdul and the staff will escort you to your room at night for safety. The camp was set up by photographers, so they understand early breakfasts and what you're actually here for.

    Was here only one night, but it was such a serene experience! Abdul and the staff were extremely accommodating and the rooms and overall facility was clean, spacious, and charming. Will definitely be staying here again soon.

    Really lovely place. The food is delicious, and you're right next to the park! No need to worry for your safety, as at night you're escorted to your room. They also have guides for the park. Really recommend staying here, we had a great time.

    It was really once in a lifetime experience, still gutted to leave! The camp is amazing, with everything you need, extremely clean, beautiful views with animals peacefully passing by everywhere, fully equipped tent with comfortable beds, plugs, and a bathroom with hot water and everything. The team there is brilliant, extremely friendly and always helping, giving you tips and planning the trips for you, we went on a game drive and had the best time especially with our tour guide Phillip from the camp. And the biggest surprise was the food! Very delicious, freshly cooked on every meal! Definitely coming back again soon, 2 nights was really not enough! Thanks Moustafa, and the best team there!

    Really friendly staff, charming rooms and good location. The place includes a seating area looking out over the river Talek viewpoint and it’s a short ride to Hot Air Safaris. A couple of photographers set up the camp and so the place is about supporting your trip to the Masai Mara (early breakfasts? packed lunch? ...sure!) rather than finely-finished interiors. The (great) value-for-money price reflects this. They can arrange guides for the Mara too - mine was excellent. You might want to ask about The Hide guest room that they’re setting up, with a glass wall to view a small animal drinking/bathing pool outside the camp and CCTV footage aired inside the room.

    I had an absolutely marvelous stay at Talek Bush Camp! 🌿✨ The location is unbeatable – right next to Talek Gate, so you are in the heart of the Maasai Mara with wildlife literally passing by the tents. I woke up to the sound of hippos and birds, and even saw animals wandering close to camp – it felt magical but also safe thanks to the wonderful Maasai guards. The staff were beyond amazing – warm, friendly, and always going the extra mile. Special thanks to Mustafa, Valentine, and Chef Joel for making me feel at home and for the delicious meals every day. The food was plentiful, fresh, and they even prepared packed meals for game drives. The tents and cottages are clean, cozy, and very comfortable – with hot showers and stunning views of the river. I also loved how well everything was organized, from the game drives to the little personal touches. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw the best of the Mara – including a leopard that walked right past our jeep! 🐆 Overall, Talek Bush Camp is the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and warm Kenyan hospitality. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara – it’s an unforgettable experience.
