Lemek Conservancy

We had an extraordinary experience at Entumoto Safari camp! The Conservancy in which its located proved a truly peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the adjacent Maasai Mara National Park, however, its water hole still brought Elephants, Zebras, Buffalos, Waterbucks, Zebras and several other animals right up to our camp (we watched them over our fantastic breakfast and lunches). Separately, our excellent guide Purity ensured that our two full day game drives in the Mara park itself lived up to their "once in a lifetime" billing, allowing us to see not only the 'Big 5', the 'Ugly 5', and the Wildebeest Migration, but also a number of more intimate encounters with wildlife just feet away from our excellent open top/sides Land Cruisers. We can't recommend this camp highly enough and certainly hope to return with additional family members: our group of 2+1 stayed in a 2 bedroom Family Tent, which could easily have also fit 2-3 additional family members (presumably via prior arrangement with camp mgmt).

I cannot say enough good things about Elephant Pepper Camp! I stayed for 4 nights with my wife on an 18 day honeymoon, and out of all the places we stayed, including 5-star hotels in Cairo, Nairobi, Dubai, and the Maldives, we had the best service and the best food of all at Elephant Pepper. We were picked up directly from the Mara North Airstrip and immediately began our safari adventure with a game drive. Each morning we were woken up, given coffee/tea/sweets around the fire, and went on the most incredible game drives, where we saw pretty much every animal we could have seen in super comfy trucks with blankets, binoculars, water, sunscreen, you name it. Our guides, George and Benson, were amazing and knowledgeable and knew the Masai Mara like the back of their hands. Each morning drive, they set out breakfast for us in the bush and sundowner drinks and snacks during our afternoon drive. Each day, our stop was at a different place, letting us experience different aspects and different landscapes. We came home each afternoon and night to greetings, wet towels, cleaned rooms and incredible lunches and dinners. I'm talking 5 star service and 5 star food in the middle of the Masai Mara. I was blown away by all we got. We had hot showers, huge tents, and even a few surprises that I won't give away. If interested, you can do night drives and game walks, which we took full advantage of. I'm running out of space, but everything about Elephant Pepper was incredible!
