All in all I have to say that all of the 5 star reviews are there for a reason. This camp and the staff are by far the best that I've ever dealt with. I would not only recommend this camp to anyone visiting the Mara, but I plan on returning again in the near future!"

Rekero camp staff made us feel like family, comfortable and safe. The family tent was out of this world with the animals so close at night, the night guides kept us safe. (…) All staff at Rekero are our friends and this experience will remain with our family forever and we plan to return."

Each tent (I'll call it a tent but it was very luxurious) is situated with a view of the Talek River. From the comfort of your bed you can gaze out at zebra, hippos, elephants, wildebeest, baboons, topi, gazelle and giraffe stopping for an afternoon drink. There are some places on earth that are magical. Rekero is one of them."

What makes Rekero so special? First and foremost; the staff. Clea and Conway, the managers, are exceptional in their attention to details. For example, on our first morning there, they set up a private table for two overlooking the river for breakfast. Brilliant!"

The Maasai Mara is one of luckiest National Reserves in Kenya. With the Serengeti on the south and to its north seven well managed conservancies it is at the very heart of one of the world’s greatest ecosystems. However the human encroachment, through both tourism and pastoral, continues to threaten the reserve. These conservancies are the best thing I have seen in 20 years. It clearly shows and is proving daily that by reversing the destruction of habitat that we can bring back the glory of our childhood."

As a serious amateur wildlife photographer, I got exactly what I wanted: 4 fantastic days with hot coffee in my luxurious tent at 6am, escorted to my vehicle by 6:30 for first light photo opportunities with my driver/guide Martin and spotter Risa. I thought I was pretty good at spotting game but these two had me feeling like a beginner, they were excellent."

I have now been to Rekero 8 times and wouldn't stay anywhere else in the main Maasai Mara Reserve. Why? It's not just about the location, which is unbeatable, or about the fantastic game viewing close to camp. Every guest is made to feel welcome and special at Rekero - not just by the managers and guides, but by all the team. The tents overlooking the Talek river, the service and food are all first-class. What could be better than listening to the sounds of the African night in such a beautiful setting? Great for families, couples and people travelling by themselves. "

Great service, great food, great safaris with James. Clea, Conway and the entire staff spared no effort for our comfort and pleasure. I suggest September as the migration is active but the park is less crowded. Most of the times we were alone or with very few other around a sighting."
