It was one of the best things I have done in my life. It's an ones in a life time experience. I am sure who ever is reading if you go you will enjoy. You will see so many animals and the food there is amazing it will make you feel like your in a 5 star hotel and the tents are so comfortable and don't forget you camera and hot clothes.
We had an amazing time while camping with BCTS. They were absolutely professional, from the airport complimentary pick-up to the end of our safari. Everything was perfectly organized and we felt super safe in every moment. All the staff were very kind and helpful, and the service they provide is superb!
The camping was so comfortable; but the real highlight is that the camping is right at Talek gate which means that you can wake-up at 6:25 a.m. and being in the park spotting giraffes at 6:30 a.m. since it is really close to the gate in contrast to other safari companies that offers cheap safaris but being to far away from the gates (which means to lose so much time before entering the park). Another point to have in mind is that we had several safaris (2-3 long safaris per day), specially at sunrise and sunset, which are the best hours to spot felines. We were looking for something different than the typical lodges in the Mara and ended up loving the camp experience; it was memorable. There is nothing like falling asleep hearing the hyenas close to the camp or the baboons playing, see the starry sky every night, lose contact with the civilisation and unwind for a few days.
The food was absolutely delicious (thanks Steve!) and the camping was guarded by two Masais (John & Bill) that did not allow any animal to get close to the camping and were very nice and kind. Our driver Joseph had such a good eye when finding animals hidden in the bushes. He was truly professional and accomplish strictly the safari schedules.
To sum up, it is a great option to go on a quality and also budget safari, 5 out of 5!
Thank you for the most wonderful experience at the Mara. The adults and kids alike had a blast! Would recommend Best Camping to all my friends and family visiting Kenya. Special mention for Joseph, our guide and driver, who was fantastic. Will share photos soon and can't wait till our next safari.
