Tayari Luxury Tented Camp - Mara

Staff members were very cordial and helpful.

Tolles Camp, tolle Lage :)

Bis auf die lauten Frösche, für die niemand was kann eine wundervolle Unterkunft 😍

La carpa es preciosa y muy cómoda, aunque sin lujos y las sábanas no habían sido cambiadas.

Los accesos a las carpas son poco iluminados. El wifi inexistente.

The property is outside the National Park. It’s conveniently located but I had booked two tents for 4 people. During check out, I was told that the price is only for two adults and they charged me 100$ for two people which burnt a hole in my pocket during the trip. I showed them my reservation from Booking.com which said 4 guest but they didn’t allow me to check out without paying the amount. The property only has wifi at the reception so I couldn’t not even contact Booking.com. The tents were very basic so paying 100$ extra for two people was really stressful. During check out I had asked the staff to check the details but they didn’t tell me anything during check in. The property allowed four people to check in when they had reservations only for 2 people, wow!!!!!! I will neither book this property again nor recommend it to anyone else.

We recently stayed at Tayari Camp during our visit to the Masai Mara, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. We stayed in two identical, spacious camps that provided all the comforts needed in such a remote and stunning environment. The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring that our beds were perfectly made and rooms were prepped while we were out on game drives. A special touch was the hot water bottles placed in our beds, which kept us warm during the chilly nights when temperatures dipped below 10°C. While the washroom was compact, the hot water ran well, which was crucial after a long day exploring. Internet connectivity was challenging, but that's somewhat expected in the wilderness. We tried a Telekom SIM card, but the reception was weak. The guest Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant area and could be improved. It's also worth noting that the property is in the process of relocating, so there were minor areas, particularly around the restaurant, that appeared a little neglected. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the warm hospitality of the staff. Everyone, from the courteous wait staff to the dedicated chef, went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The chef prepared delicious meals, including Indian dishes that made us feel right at home, a thoughtful touch that truly enhanced our stay.

Payment is card-only, so we recommend making a prepayment to avoid delays due to poor internet connectivity. We faced some issues with the confirmation of our Mastercard payment, but the staff was helpful throughout the process. There were occasional power cuts beyond the scheduled morning outage from 4 to 5 a.m., but the staff managed these with efficiency. Considering the remote location, the camp does an excellent job of providing a comfortable and immersive experience. The natural beauty around the camp and the dedication of the staff more than made up for any minor inconveniences. There's definitely room for improvement, particularly with the internet and power management, but these did not detract from the overall experience. If you're looking for a stay that brings you close to nature while being well looked after, Tayari Camp is a great choice. We left with beautiful memories and hope to return soon!

Das Zelt ist sehr schön eingerichtet, leider schaut man von der Terrasse nur auf ein paar Sträucher.

In den Morgenstunden hatten wir keinen Strom.

Assolutamente niente.

Aspettative completamente disattese. La realtà è completamente diversa dalle foto presenti su Booking e dalle aspettative sul prezzo pagato. All’arrivo il posto sembra abbandonato, per niente curato e con macerie all’ingresso. Lo staff ti accoglie in una zona comune (dove si cena e si fa tutto) buia e fatta di lamiera, senza dare informazioni è completamente impreparato. Nella stanza comune manca la luce. Nella stanza non funzionava il lavandino e 3 prese elettriche su 4 non funzionavano. Le tende sono a 500 metri dalla zona comune, impossibile raggiungerle per persone con disabilità. È forse il posto più turistico del Kenya ma non sanno darti informazioni o soluzioni affidabili sui game drives. Prima di partire avevamo chiesto il prezzo dei Safari organizzati da loro e una volta arrivati il prezzo era 50$ più alto. La guida parlava malissimo inglese e una volta entrati nel parco non voleva portarci in una zona del parco perché troppo lontana, mentendo sul fatto che il ponte fosse chiuso. Solo dopo aver litigato con il boss della struttura (che comunque ci ha chiesto 30$ in più) ha acconsentito ad accompagnarci
