My Story as a Camp Owner: Why Booking Early Matters

 

Running Mara Siligi Camp has taught me one key truth—guests who book early have the best time. They get the best tents, the most experienced guides, and the flexibility to enjoy surprise encounters (like leopards near the trail or elephants at sunrise). Whether it’s a Masai Mara hotel or a simple budget camp near Talek, early bookings allow us to prepare better, personalize your itinerary, and suggest magical extras like a hot-air balloon ride or a Maasai-led bush walk.

Last-minute travelers? They often arrive flustered, miss prime sightings, or end up staying far from the park entrance. So my advice—don’t just book your Masai Mara lodge early, plan your whole safari early. The Mara rewards the prepared traveler.
