Our recent stay at the camp was absolutely magical! From the very start, Sandra was incredibly helpful and responsive when I messaged her. She made the booking process so smooth and ensured we had everything we need. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with an incredible dance by the team to celebrate our arrival We were there to celebrate my mom's birthday, and the team made it so special! On one of the nights, they surprised her with a beautiful cake and a mini party. Their attention to detail and genuine effort to make her day memorable meant the world to us. The people at the camp truly made our experience extraordinary. Joseph, the owner, was an incredible tour guide who shared his deep knowledge and passion for the area, making every adventure even more exciting. Patrick, Daniel, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, and their kindness and warmth made our stay unforgettable. The food was out of this world! Every meal was a celebration of fresh, flavorful dishes that made dining one of the highlights of our stay. Each bite was prepared with so much care that it felt like a true feast every time. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of nature was a dream come true. The thoughtful details, from the cozy beds to the special birthday decorations, made everything feel so personalized and luxurious. The camp itself was pristine and impeccably maintained, which gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. This camp didn’t just enhance our trip, it became the heart of our Maasai Mara adventure. The warmth, hospitality, and genuine care from the team made it an experience we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a place that combines breathtaking surroundings, amazing people, and unforgettable moments, this is the perfect destination. It also helps that the camp is very close to the gate. Thank you to the entire team, for making our trip so special.

I can’t overstate how incredible this place is. The majestic view truly immerses you in the essence of African wildlife and safari—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews for this gem. Perhaps previous guests forgot to leave one, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts, especially since my partner, a huge believer in ratings, had doubts about coming here. While reviews might not be as prevalent in Africa, let me assure you: this place is undoubtedly underrated. The beauty of the location is breathtaking, and the staff are exceptionally helpful and caring. We arrived late as this was a last-minute trip to Africa, connecting from a flight in Singapore. Unprepared and without dinner, we were amazed by the staff’s kindness—they cooked for us past 10 pm so we wouldn’t go to bed hungry. That level of service is rare and deeply appreciated. If you’re staying in one of the tents and feel uneasy walking to the main house, the staff are always ready to protect and escort you. Their attentiveness and concern for guests’ comfort are unmatched. Overall, we had an amazing time and would love to return with the rest of our family. The manager, the owner, and all the staff were superb. I have nothing negative to say—this place exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended!

From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by Valery and her amazing team. We stayed in a beautifully designed, cozy room (everything inside was chosen with care and filled with comfort) The atmosphere at Emboo is magical: peaceful nature, evenings around the fire on soft poufs under the stars, delicious meals, and a deep connection to the nature. We would especially like to thank: Felix, our safari guide — calm, deeply experienced, and one of the best in his field. He made every game drive feel personal and insightful. Tobin, the photographer, full of passion and soul. Every photo he took captured something deeper than just an image. Rhoda, who looked after us during every breakfast, lunch, and dinner with incredible kindness and attention. And Pedro, who always brought a smile, kindness, and genuine care. he made us feel truly welcomed. The little things made, like hot water bottles waiting in our room at night and even placed in the safari jeep for those chilly early drives. These thoughtful touches left a lasting impression. The entire team at Emboo is united by true hospitality, care for nature, and love for what they do. We’re already home, but our hearts are still with you at Emboo. Wishing the camp and its creators continued joy and prosperity

It was our second visit to Mara NP, but our first time sleeping within these grounds. Waking up with a river view and having zebras or hyenas or giraffes looking right across is mesmerising. The tent was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for three persons. Esmo was assigned to take care of us at meal times and he did a wonderful job. The meals were freshly prepared and very good. It was like a set menu and there was always a vegeterian option. The Masai also made us feel safe in the evening while escorting us.
