Osero, (the Masai word for "Bush/wild") Serengeti Tented Camp located in the heart of African Wilderness in the Serengeti National Park, gives you endless opportunity to uncover and explore rare world beauty. The best of facilities in our tent, expert chefs preparing the ultimate gourmet feasts, lush green landscapes and rich cultures are only few of the many highlights of this amazing place.
Amazing experience with top quality service
Reviewed By ConorDeiseAbsolutely unforgettable experience. In the heart of the breathtaking Serengeti, this place took me by complete surprise. I was expecting a medium quality camping experience but Osera achieved beyond my expectations. If anyone is familiar with glamping (posh camping), this is it except in the middle of the Serengeti. The tents have queen size beds and single beds (if required), a his and hers sink and fresh towels for the hot water shower also in your tent. The level of security is next level with an amazing level of respect for the animals. All signaling is done with a flashlight and walkie talkie, if required. As you dine in the impressive restaurant setting, one can hear the lions in the distance and Buffalo can be seen grazing. This is as real as it gets and is affordable, with quality and a level of service that is quite stand out. It is also worth mentioning that the level of English spoken by the staff here was a level above the other accommodations where we stayed. Cliche, I know but my only regret was not staying here for longer. Book Osera and you won’t be sorry.

Incredible family experience at Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
Reviewed By HansenFamAdventuresSahara Sky Luxury Camp was EXACTLY the Sahara glamping experience we dreamed of. We booked 2 nights and I'm so glad we did. The first evening we arrived after a long day of driving and our kids (5 & 7.5) were exhausted. So we took a 4WD truck ride to the camp and they fell asleep immediately after dinner (missing the fire & music). By staying a second night our kids were able to be refreshed for the next day's camel rides & evening entertainment. The camp hosts go above & beyond to make a magical experience for their guests. The camp is gorgeous, with lanterns & rugs making the paths and lots of intimate seating areas. All meals were delicious, beautiful presentation, and more food than anyone could eat in a sitting. The evening music & dancing was so fun, and again the hosts are so attentive to every detail - I brought my own bottle of wine to the fire pit and they setup a table, wine glasses & a lantern for me. The second night we were the only guests at the camp, but the hosts still lit the fire pit and played music just for my kids. They let my kids play the instruments, and picked them up to dance. It was a memory we'll cherish forever.
5. Governors' Camp
Overall Ratings
5 based on 1195 reviews
The setting is magical. So much so that almost a century ago it was reserved, exclusively, for Kenya’s colonial Governors. Governors’ Camp nestles in the forest along the winding banks of the Mara River, it’s waters teeming with bird-life, hippo and crocodile, in the heart of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. Created in 1972, Governors’ Camp set new standards in luxury for a tented camp. Today it’s still Africa’s best. Governors’ Camp was the first permanent tented camp in the Masai Mara and it occupies the best wildlife viewing location in the National Park. The location of the camp was considered so good that during colonial times it was reserved for the colonial Governors of Kenya, hence the name Governors’ Camp. Today the camp enjoys the same prime location and is perfect for couples, families and friends wanting to experience the best of what a safari in the Masai Mara has to offer. The entire camp is under canvas with all of the comforts of a luxury hotel. Some of the 37 tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest they enjoy uninterrupted views over the Mara River, others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. The tents are big, bright and allow in lots of natural light. All tents are classic safari style each with en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah. There is a bar tent with deck overlooking the Mara River and dinning tent with views over the plains. Please also be sure to enquire about our Spa tent which offers a range of treatments including facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. Governors’ Camp has been awarded a Silver Eco Rating from Eco – Tourism Kenya due to our sustainable tourism practices in place in camp.
A very special place
Reviewed By kirstyliebGovernors Camp has a magical quality about it and it would be correct to say its location in the Mara is stunning, with incredible wildlife and savannahs surrounding it. But the staff make the camp truly exceptional. Every single person working at Governors Camp goes out of their way to make you feel like visiting royalty and help you create an unforgettable trip. The hospitality, food, service and comfort are first class but I really appreciated the joy and love the staff have for the wildlife and the land. It is contagious and I enjoyed sharing and swopping stories of the day and all the sightings. Julius and Mark made the drives an education with their knowledge and sightings and I came away with an enhanced love of the country, the Mara and the culture. Thank you to everyone at Governors for a wonderful trip. I hope to be back very soon.

A Luxury ECO Desert Camp set in a deep desert deserted spot in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Morocco. This ground-breaking Eco camp is the first of its kind in this area and it sits nestled in the apricot coloured dunes of the Sahara.
Magical experience in the desert
Reviewed By MichbosMy daughter and I visited the camp at the end of our trip and it was definitely the highlight of our time in Morocco. The guided camel ride, food, stargazing, music, and private tent left us in awe. Yet, the best part was the staff who welcomed us as family and are the most genuine, kind people you will encounter. There aren’t enough nice words to do justice to how great this place was, most definitely recommend.

8. Nile it Resort and Campsite
Overall Ratings

We have created a little paradise along the shores of the Nile full of flowering plants, teeming with bird life and with a one in a million view on the river Nile. The sound of the rapids, frogs, crickets and birds is all you hear. Nile it! is the place where you can relax or start exploring the beautiful surroundings. On site we have a small pool and enough games to keep you entertained.
NileIt nails the camping experience
Reviewed By turkce_bilmiyorumI've dozens of years experience camping in the bush, but this was my wife's first time to ever sleep in a tent and she very much enjoyed it. Sometimes you hear people joke that their form of camping is the local luxury hotel. Well, if they ever tried NileIt Resort they might find it is very much like that sort of experience. We only decided that morning to go to Jinja, but needed to do some other things before we could leave; so, it was the middle of the afternoon before I called NileIt. No problem. They had room and when we arrived just before sunset, they had our tent all set up and the bed made. They also made getting there easy sending us a photo on WhatsApp of the sign we needed to be looking for to make the turn and our GPS led us directly there. The last few hundred meters are down a dirt road that can get muddy and might require a 4X4 in certain conditions. It had rained and we found the road slippery, but encountered no real troubles getting there. I appreciated that the facility is fenced in on three sides (access to the Nile means that one side is open) and there is round the clock security. The staff was very friendly. They waited till we had settled in and then offered to prepare us dinner, but there was no rush. The menu was quite varied with local foods and Thai foods dominating the menu. My wife choose pork chops and I sweet & sour pork with red curry. Both were prepared as ordered and were certainly good, but not superb. Meaning that I have no objection to the food and would certainly eat there again if staying there, but I wouldn't make a special trip for the food. We felt similarly with regard to breakfast which was a respectable eggs to order, 1 sausage, 1 strip of bacon, and a variety of fruit along with tea, coffee, and juice. Breakfast was included in the price of 220,000 shillings for a tent with a double mattress in the sleeping room and two lawn chairs in what qualified as a sitting room/entry. It did not rain while we were there, but based on all my years of camping I was satisifed that it was built well enough and properly set up so that we would have stayed dry in the rain. While we were cautioned to be prepared for it possibly getting cold at night, I actually found it quite warm in the tent -- so much so that I didn't need the very nice comforter our bed was made with. Sleeping is a tent that the staff sets up and takes down for each set of guests, so there is no ensuite bath. I found the shower house and toilets exceptionally clean. Do take a flashlight with you in case you should need to use it in the middle of the night as the electricity is turned off part way through the night. I actually appreciated that because that made it dark enough to enjoy the stars. That you are spending the night in a tent that is not a permament structure also means there is no charging of your phone overnight. Fortunately there is a charging station at the lodge where meals are served. The grounds are well maintained. My wife loved all the different varieties of plants and flowers. Mosquitos were not a problem, but do take proper precautions as they are around. The 'pool,' if we can call it that, is less than a meter deep. You can sit in it and enjoy cooling off, but not swim. It's too small. It's an above ground pool that one might purchase for your backyard, but we liked how they designed the brick to surround it and may copy that idea in our own compaund. As for activities, the resort doesn't really have anything onsite, we asked about a couple of things and they offered us brochures from other local companies that provide what we were looking for. It was then up to us to make arrangements for ourselves. Not a problem when you know the area as we do, but if I was from abroad I would be needing a bit more help -- and maybe they can provide it, I don't know as we didn't ask. All-in-all, a nice place for just sitting back and relaxing. I think next time we might take the kids, but if we do we'll get them their own tent.

Just beyond imagination
Reviewed By NN_IndiaOne of the best located camps in Mara. Surrounded by the river on three sides, you can't ask for anything better. Wake up to the sounds of animals and birds and feel being one with the nature. You step out of the camp and one is greeted with hundreds of herbivores grazing on the endless plains. The staff is excellent, supremely curtious, ready to look into your minute requests. Mr Kerore, the manager, is always present to run the show impeccably. Vivian, the young Masai girl, at the frontdesk will make you feel so special. I spent 3 nights and want to come back sooner than later....

A Night to Remember
Reviewed By nelaskarisJust amazing! This is a “must” experience if you want to enjoy the Merzouga desert at its fullest. The people are most welcoming and they make you fell like home. To get there you can ride a camel (approx. 1h) or via 4x4 car. Upon arrival you get to drink Berber tea at the wonderful gazebo with poufs and hammocks. The tents are quite big, clean, with a proper toilet and shower. They also provide some local clothing for the night where the temperature is quite lower. We had a very comfortable stay. Diner was one of the best we had in our entire trip. Almost all products come from their garden and they use very old traditional Berber recipes (which included their own pizza and meatballs). After diner, all guests gathered around the fire where the hosts sang and played the drums. There was some dancing involved too, which made the experience absolutely unique - we were singing and dancing around the fire in the Sahara desert! Next day we woke briefly at 4am to see the stars and the Milky Way galaxy as you have never seen it before. We then woke up again at 5:45 to enjoy the sunrise from the high dunes. After that, we enjoyed another special breakfast and then left. We wished we could stay there for another night. It is a family-owned business and you can tell they have poured their heart into it. They are the friendliest and kindest people you will meet. We 100% recommend it to anyone.
