Far from the crowded flea bag hotels, this property is pristine and right in the heart of the Masai Mara. You will not find a place more suited to your dream safari than Ashnil. Get the game drive package, you will not regret it.

Ashnil has great facilities, delicious food, and VERY comfy accommodations. Their staff is very attentive and take great care of you. One of the aspects that I feel are especially important is the location of the camp. It is situated on the banks of the Mara River and right in the middle of the Masai Mara Reserve. Some of the other "camps" are located closer to the entrances and therefore a longer drive to be in the heart of game drive country is necessary. This is my second time to stay here. I highly recommend it.

Great place

Went for a 50th birthday as they had never been on a safari before. Could not fault anything. Seen many, many animals except a Leopard or Rhino. However there was a Rhino at the airstrip which finished the trip off nicely.

What a fabulous place!

I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. The staff were so friendly, accommodating and wonderful! Not only were we there on our honeymoon, but we also had a group of 10 in our party. Ashnil Mara Tented Camp is one of the best places we were at during our trip to Kenya. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff are amazing, the food is wonderful, the rooms are fantastic, the wildlife is great, the location is stunning!

酒店位置很好,在马拉河边,但并不是每个房间都能看见马拉河。硬件条件差一些,由于是帐篷的原因,卫生条件也不是很好,昆虫和帐篷上的霉点很多,家庭房(3张床)很拥挤。晚上昆虫和河马叫声此起彼伏,对睡眠环境要求较高请慎选。服务人员有些较为热情,有些较为冷淡,服务水平不一。早中晚均为自助餐,品种较少,住3晚后对餐食已经感到厌烦了。
