How to

get here

We are easy to reach by both air and road. Domestic flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport take about forty five minutes to the nearby airstrips in the Mara. Travelling by road takes around five to six hours depending on the route and road conditions. You can find us clearly marked on Google Maps for effortless navigation.

We stayed here for two nights during our safari in Kenya, and out of the three camps/hotels we stayed at, this one was by far our favourite. The experience was just incredible. Of course, the setting is amazing: waking up in a beautiful tent overlooking the Mara, and having breakfast, lunch or dinner with wildlife literally all around you is something we will never forget. But what really made this place special was the team: Joshua, Sammy, David and Rafael were all absolutely lovely. They were so attentive, thoughtful and genuinely caring, without ever making it feel too formal or forced. We felt really looked after throughout our stay. We also loved being able to chat with them and learn more about their lives and Maasai culture. It made the experience feel much more personal. And the food… honestly, incredible. Everything we ate was delicious, and the picnic during our game drive was such a highlight: zero-waste, beautifully prepared and just so good! After six days of safari, this was the place where we really felt immersed in the experience. It’s hard to explain, but there was something really special about being there, surrounded by the Mara, the animals, and such a lovely team. We genuinely feel so lucky to have stayed here and will remember this experience for a very long time. A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially Joshua, Sammy, David and Rafael, for making our stay so special. You all contributed so much to what was an unforgettable few days. ❤️

We had a fantastic stay at Kobe Mara. The staff were incredibly attentive, welcoming, and always ready to help. The safari guides they arranged for us were excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and truly made our safari experience unforgettable. The food was very good, the rooms and the entire property were beautiful and comfortable, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We had an amazing time and could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Kobe Mara as part of our honeymoon, which had been organized through a travel agency, and it was by far the first—and the best—accommodation of our entire trip to Kenya. Kobe Mara is a small and truly special place. Its location, right on the edge of the Maasai Mara, makes it a unique experience. We were lucky enough to have breakfast while watching zebras and giraffes nearby—something we’ll never forget. What really makes this place exceptional, though, is the team. Everyone made us feel so welcome with their warmth and genuine hospitality. After three nights, it honestly felt like home. A very special mention goes to the chef—the food was absolutely incredible and some of the best we had during our stay in Kenya. Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable. If we ever return to Kenya, we’ll definitely stay at Kobe Mara again!

First of all, we would like to say a huge thank you to Faith, who handled our booking and all communication. She made planning our trip so much easier and was always incredibly helpful. She even warned me just in time about fake flight tickets I was about to buy, and I’m truly grateful for her advice. 🙏🏻 Kobe House is a small and intimate camp with just four safari tents, and luxury rooms in the house located right inside the reserve. The tents are simple but very comfortable, and the beds were excellent, allowing us to sleep really well. The camp is not fenced, which surprised us at first. You even sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of staying in the wilderness. However, after a short time, we realized that this is exactly what makes the experience so special. But it can be quite scary at the first. There is a waterhole right next to the camp, where zebras, giraffes, and buffalo regularly come to drink. Watching wild animals just a few meters from our tent & restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The entire team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. One evening, dinner was served privately next to our tent, making the experience even more memorable. The food was very tasty, and we enjoyed every meal. They offer even a soft drink to the meals (like CocaCola, Fanta,juice..) 🥗🍗🥤 We also booked our safari guide and airport transfer through Kobe House, and everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Dan, was fantastic. He worked incredibly hard to find all the animals we hoped to see and made our very first safari an unforgettable experience. 🦁🦒🐘🦓🐗🦛🐊 There are only two small things that could be improved. The first is that the bathroom waste had an unpleasant smell. The second is the 3.8% online payment fee. The camp does not accept card payments via a payment terminal, so if you choose to pay online, an additional 3.8% fee applies. If possible, paying by bank transfer in advance. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay. If you’re looking for an authentic safari experience with wonderful people, outstanding hospitality, and wildlife literally on your doorstep, we highly recommend Kobe House. 💯⭐️

Our experience at Kobe exceeded all of our expectations from start to end. Staff was beyond accommodating and friendly. Incredible customer service - super responsive through email and whatsapp. The land is clean, immaculate, and perfectly located to the park. Our mind was blown with the safari experience - nonstop action and knowledge with our guide Neboo. Food was actually delicious. Great drinks available. On our first night, we were already booking our trip for next year. This place is a hidden gem.

An incredible place, Maasai owned and staffed, in the best location, and much better rates relative to other camps. We stayed in Kobe Mara’s tent accommodation for four nights. The tent was luxurious and secluded. We had personal staff for meals, assistance, and security watch. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were served at our tent, and the food exceeded our expectations. Kobe is Maasai-owned and only hires Maasai people. This allowed us to learn a lot about the Maasai culture and hear amazing stories from the staff. We were also very happy that the income from our stay was going back into the Maasai community. The safari was incredible. Kobe is positioned two minutes from one of the national park gates. We had a private safari jeep and guide that was offered at a rate far better than other camps we researched. Dan, our guide, knew the name of every single species in the park, from the large mammals to the small birds and fish. He always put us in the perfect position to be front row for sightings. We saw so many lions, a lion hunt, several cheetah and leopards, and lots of other animals. Dan was full of energy and joy, and clearly loves his job, which made it that much better. If we were to do Maasai Mara again, we wouldn’t do it any other way! Thank you, Kobe Mara.

We stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon and it was amazing. You are literally right on the Masai Mara and can hear hyenas and animals throughout the night. The staff were incredible and on our last night they made us a cake and did a special Masai dance and song to celebrate our honeymoon! Highly recommend
