    Great experience that immerses you in the landscape and gives you a chance to understand the Maasai culture. The guys were fabulous. The views are fabulous. The bird life is lovely. The experience was just great. Showers are very basic and outdoors but effective and hot. Tents are minimal on the inside but nicely tucked into the landscape so they don't soul the atmosphere. The dining was very good too, freshly prepared each meal. The small scale of the camp is great and it attracts people with a sense of adventure.

    Wonderful place to learn about the Maasai and enjoy the beauty of the nature in Maji Moto. We will always remember Sam and Hillary, two of the Maasai at the Eco Camp. They are not only excellent guides, but also wonderful people. Honorable mention also to Ben, the chef, who has always cooked us delicious dishes. Totally recommended place to spend some days, and is a way to contribute to the protection of the Maasai culture.

    I simply loved our stay. We were supposed to stay there for one night but extended it to two. Good tasty homemade food. Clean toilets with warm showers. The rustic atmosphere is very cozy and staff couldn't be nicer and more helpful. The landscape is perfect for walking around and the guides will be happy to come along to show you the region for free. The visit to Masai villages are extra charge and totally worth it as it's not touristic villages (we paid 1500KSH pp). You can really take your time and even enjoy a Masai tea and beer at their manyatta. I will come back for sure! Ps: the owners should put signs at the main road and at the gates to indicate the way to the camp. It's not easy to guess how to to get there!

    If you're looking for an opportunity to be close to nature and to learn from the famous Maasai people, this is the place to be. You'll be in a sturdy, rugged tent with comfortable bedding, with toilet and shower stations nearby. For the one night I stayed, I had a nice dinner and breakfast in a covered area overlooking the scenic Great Rift Valley with local food prepared fresh at the camp. They carry everything up to the camp from a local village--even the water! The meals were delicious and plentiful and made the authentic Maasai way. Everything, from the tent beddings to the dishes, was clean and tidy. I also had a fascinating walking tour that looped through their property. The Maasai guide talked about their customs and showed us how they made use of various local plants for food and medicine. If you stay for more than a night, there are longer hikes they can take you on, including multi-day hikes. I hope to do that on my next visit. Everyone was friendly and helpfully went out of their way to make sure it was a great experience. For travelers with a sense of adventure and a desire to learn about local cultures, it is definitely worth including a stay at this camp while journeying through Kenya. Incidentally, I was there in late December when it was pleasantly warm during the day and refreshingly cool at night.

    Fantastic camp to learn about the Masai culture run by Masai. You sleep in simple but nice huts / tents with shared facilities. Food is local as well and very nice. We really enjoyed our two days here.

    Great african outdoors. One of the best places to meet Maasai culture, do the nature walks, trekking safari into the Loita Hills. Track wildlife, visit the local school and traditional Masai manyata too. All in all great and authentic experience 😍

    We had a great time at Maji Moto Eco Camp... We spent three nights there in January and enjoyed the beautiful views and delicious and very plentiful food prepared by the team there. The tents were of high quality, and are furnished with a comfortable mattress and linen. The views from the tents are amazing! We went on a walk into the hills which was absolutely beautiful. This is a great place for both families and couples, and both will find it enjoyable. The staff were really knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, and we did a trip to a local school and the hot springs which was nice to see. We did some warrior training and fire making! The team was overall really friendly. The views from the camp at sunset are fantastic. Highly recommended all round and good value…

    Wonderful place and truly wonderful people! It is one of the most unique places we have ever visited. Learning about the Masai culture and lifestyle from Sam, Ben and Hillary was a privilege, they make this place unforgettable!!!

    Very intimate experience. Benzon and the rest of the crew are warm hearted and attentive hosts. We stayed there unfortunately only one night but gained some long lasting memories including a Manyatta visit, hot river bath and a bush hike. The team was incredible flexible to our demands, the whole camp was very clean.

    Had an amazing relaxing weekend at the camp with very friendly masai reception and a spectacular view from the tent.the food was delicious and plenty and got to enjoy the meals with a view. Though a little windy at night the tent was very warm and clean. Enjoyed the eco friendly facilities and the stunning outdoor shower. The sunrise from the tent was incredible. I will most definitely recommend maji moto eco camp and looking forward to another stay.

    A wonderful place to stay if you want to visit Masai Mara. This is truly an "Eco" camp. You sleep in a simple but very comfortable tent (on one of the best mattresses I have slept on during all my holidays 😌). You take a shower with water from the hot springs near the village below. They have a compost toilet with a view! The staff are very friendly, attentive and we enjoyed talking to them about their way of life, their culture, their families and so on. They arranged a day-trip to Masai Mara which was spectacular. To me it makes much more sense to book your accommodation outside and leave the wilderness to the animals. A number of the lodges inside are oversized and over-luxurious.

    If you are looking for a place to stay around Masai Mara, look no further, just book this place. It has breathtaking views from the restaurant and nice spots to just chill and enjoy nature. The basic tents and facilities are very clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, and they go out their way to make your stay memorable. We went for a day trip to Masai Mara, and we were very lucky to have spotted the BIG FIVE in a single day! amazing We would prefer to stay here than in Masai Mara which is so crowded. It’s an all-round experience from nature walks, walking safaris, wildlife viewing authentic cultural experience, school visit, hot spring visit etc. We will be back!

    Thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful setting and people of Maji Moto. It was a wonderful place to rest for a weekend while taking a work trip in Kenya.
