Julia's River Camp

Best camp best area best view and best workers best security...we appreciate for the nice services and friendly welcoming

This is our fourth time at Julias and we are always thrilled with this camp. The staff are always very attentive and make every minute an unforgettable stay. Gideon and Morris in the restaurant once again came up with some great ideas to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Susi was also very attentive and kept our tent clean and was always there if we needed anything. At night the guards always protected us from wild visitors and provided a cozy campfire in the evening. The game drives were breathtaking. The camp is located in a beautiful area and offers everything you need to really experience the Mara.

Wonderful place and wonderful people always keen on helping you ! Crocodile , hippo , girafe were spotted just beside or in the river ! Amazing

I was traveling with my 6-year-old son, and staying at Julia’s River Camp was like stepping into a National Geographic documentary, except with better food! The camp is inside the Masai Mara Reserve, and trust me, that makes all the difference. From the moment we landed at the Ol Kiombi airstrip, the adventure began. The tents are spacious and luxurious, blending comfort with the raw beauty of nature. The Italian roots of the owner shine through in the food: delicious, abundant, and well beyond expectations. Think restaurant-quality meals with an African twist. The staff made the experience unforgettable, especially for my son. They taught him how to be a Masai warrior: complete with traditional attire, skills, and even a few words in Maa. When it was time to leave, he cried, heartbroken to say goodbye to his new friends. And then there’s Kantai, our guide: a legend in the Masai Mara. This man has the eyes of a hawk (or maybe a lion). He could spot a camouflaged predator from miles away. He was patient, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. And let’s talk about the game drive vehicle: an open SUV that was by far the best we used anywhere in Kenya. Spacious, comfortable, and offering unbeatable views!!! Oh, and did I mention the hippos and crocodiles? You can see them in the river right from the camp! But don’t worry, it’s totally safe. And for those who need to stay connected, they have Starlink WiFi, which is a game-changer. If I ever return to the Masai Mara, this is where I’m staying.

I had such a lovely time at Julia’s River Camp. The food was delicious, and the staff especially Gidion and Moris were incredibly attentive and welcoming, making me feel well taken care of throughout my stay. What I enjoyed most was being surrounded by nature – the peaceful setting by the river made the experience unforgettable. A perfect balance of comfort and the beauty of the wild. Highly recommended!

Amazing, Maurice and Gideon were fantastic hosts. Plus we had hippos giraffe buffalo and monkey in the camp. Camp was clean and well organised.
