    A really nice tent with a good bathroom and nice views of the national park. Very friendly staff who were very helpful and up for a chat which we enjoyed! They also organised a game drive for the next day with a wonderful driver, his name was Pete and he went above and beyond to find us all Big 5 plus more!!

    The tent is far from the main area. When it is rainy or dark, it is hard to walk to the tent after eating. And the toilet is right by the sleeping area in tent, even if it is divided you can hear every sound...not very comfortable to share the room with someone who is not a family member.

    The location is not far from the gate of mara Park and it is outside of the park so I don't have to pay double for the park fee. The bed is very comfortable and clean.

    The location was excellent, very close to the Sekani gate. The tents were great, comfortable bed, privacy and a great view from the terrasse. Breakfast, packed lunch and dinner were okay.

    Food - half the menu was not available. A couple of nights we waited a long time for our meal to arrive despite pre-organising it over 1 hour in advance. The quality of the food that was served was fine though. The selection/choices were adequate but not fantastic. Transport to camp from Nairobi. I tried to get assistance from the management but they replied too late. They did help me on my way back to Nairobi though.

    Good location for Maasai Mara reserve. They organised safari, hot air ballooning, Maasai village visit etc. Prices are high for what you get compared to other parts of the world but I suppose that's standard in the area and not the fault of the accommodation. We were lucky the place was available when we visited. I would stay there again but I wouldn't say its great value for money. Staff were very friendly and helpful, to the best of their abilities. I think any shortcomings lie with upper management and owners who are not on-site.

    The camp did not have the extra details that some camps propose (tea/hot water in bedrooms, common living room...) but it did not bother us much. The staff kindly provided hot water upon request, kept things for us in the fridge and was very flexible for meal time.

    The tents were at the level of higher price camps in the same area, except maybe the more simple settings for the bathroom. The bedroom and bathroom were always very clean, there was hot water in the shower and hot water bottles were provided every evening. The staff was very friendly. A special mention to Chef Harrison who made hearty and healthy dinners, including delicious soup. Alex too was particularly efficient and helpful. The camp is furthermore very conveniently located, at less than 10mn from the reserve. We were a group of 10 (young and older family members) and we all had a great time in Tayari camp. Highly recommended !

    It's mara and it's worth the hype.

    Amazing mara experience, outside of national park in your budget. Beware, no power from generators from 11pm to 4am. The feel of wind at night inside tent is awesome. All the amenities were excellent. Their on board dinner is bit expensive, but you have no other option. Food was excellent though.

    No hot water. Having a safari trip booked but we’re not informed of the additional cost. Needs to be more transparency. Hard to find.

    Staff were attentive, tents were lovely and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Hot water bottles at night.

    The wind only

    Really loked the tent. It was a nice feeling to smeep in nature. The only disadvantage was the wind, which kept us awake for long hours at night.

    The garden looks here and there a bit messy and the dining room could maybe made a bit cozier.

    It’s super close to the Sekenani gate. The staff is very kind and was helpful with everything we needed. The tents are wonderful, at night the staff brought hot water bottles because it got a bit chilly. Who has a light sleep might be very irritated by the wind blowing but to us it was no problem at all.

    The dining area felt closed in. (I suspect it was for security reasons for animals, but it was not a place that we wanted to "hang out.") It would be nice to have more outdoor shaded space (with access to wifi) for relaxing - when not in the tents.

    The tents were lovely! Although the water pressure in the showers wasn't very strong, it was HOT and lovely! The beds were very comfy! Daniel and his staff were very warm and welcoming and met every request with, "No problem!" There were even some neat animals around the property! And our safari driver (Peter Narok) was lovely. Wonder game drives. There was no wifi in the rooms, but there was in the dining area - which was actually very nice!

    The dining/reception area was not the nicest and there are tons of bugs at night while you’re eating.

    This is a very simple place but the tent matched the pictures and I had a great sleep. All staff are very kind.
