Fig Tree Camp sits directly on the banks of the Talek River, right at the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, close enough that wildlife sounds and the occasional hippo grunt carry into camp after dark. It’s a long standing, well reviewed property that sits comfortably in the mid range tier, more comfort and facilities than a basic bush camp, without the price tag of a luxury lodge like Fairmont.
Rooms are safari tents with en-suite bathrooms, set among trees along the riverbank. The camp includes a swimming pool and children’s pool, a restaurant, and a bar, solid, reliable facilities rather than standout luxury extras, which is exactly what makes it a popular pick for families and first time safari travelers who want comfort without paying for atmosphere they won’t necessarily notice.
What to Expect
Dining. A restaurant serving full board meals, with a bar for evenings back at camp.
Facilities. A swimming pool and children’s pool, useful for families with kids who need a break between game drives.
Good for. Families, groups, and travelers who want a comfortable, dependable camp rather than a high end special occasion stay.
Good to Know
Mid range pricing, generally more affordable than luxury Mara properties like Fairmont or Kichwa Tembo
Family friendly, worth asking us about interconnecting tent options if traveling with children
Located directly on the Talek River, request a riverside tent when booking if that’s a priority
