We had an absolutely unbelievable time here - the game drives were stellar! The hippos and mongoose woke us up. The food was delicious and staff were incredibly attentive. We had a massive wind storm one night and watching the staff respond so effectively and quickly to the situation was something. Lots to enjoy here. Comfort and wildness in an incredible combination!

Pro: Staff was amazing. Paul, Elphas and Ezra did everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Amazing service. The chef should be commended, great food! Tents were spacious and comfortable. Beautiful views of the Mara River from the lodge. Cons: Despite the amazing service at the lodge, I was actually very disappointed with this trip. I live in Nairobi and had booked a family vacation with guests coming from the US. I wanted to book a lodge in Mara North to make sure that we didn’t have to drive far for game drives and because I’d heard such wonderful things about the conservancy. This is my fourth time to the Mara, and I wanted to see a different area. The hotel got great reviews and my agent said it was well - located to game drives. Imagine my surprise then when I

Perfect position on a bend of the the Mara River. Our tent #8 had an amazing view of the river, Hippos, crocs and numerous game on the far bank. But what's sets this lodge apart is the high level of service, food and ambience. Your own butler wakes you up with tea and biscuits, all meals including breakfast are a la carte and frankly superb. Quality drinks are included, with good wines a feature, so rare for all inclusive. Kenyan service is always good but here it is excellent, a real credit to the manager who welcomed us personally. Special thanks to Alfred who seems to know what we want before we do! Trade has been difficult, so I can easily forgive the bit of maintenance needed here and there. All in all Fabulous, asante sanna!

So so relaxing. The ambiance is wonderful. Very Covid observant. Ben is a terrific tour guide of the Conservancy. Every meal is three course. Don’t miss the fresh juices. Three meals included per day. Conservancy tours extra. Rooms are spacious. The entire property is super clean. You’ll feel pampered in the jungle. Don’t miss the massage with Rose!! Air strip pick up is included.

We stayed at Neptune Mara Rianta for 3 nights during our recent safari. I think when you cry when you leave a place that it's a good indication of the quality of the experience. It is a little effort to reach the camp from the main road but it is so worth it! The location on a Mara river bend full of hippos is amazing and unsurpassed. The tents are extremely spacious and have a wonderful large shower. The staff are amazing. Ezra, our waiter, took extremely good care of us and made us feel very special. I was very sad to say goodbye to all of them! I sincerely hope to visit again.

The flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport was a quick one hour and suddenly we were in paradise. The land cruiser and our guide Ben were waiting for us at the airstrip- he had a cooler full of drinks if we needed. We did a short safari on our way to the camp and it was obvious he was extremely knowledgeable and had a good eye for spotting game. We were welcomed at the camp with a refreshing juice and introduced to the staff including our personal butler!! All the tents are located with a river view which is full of hippos. They were happily wallowing in the water and making hippo noises. The bird life right at the camp was incredible, so much variety. There is a pool which is refreshing after being in the sun. The tents were gorgeous with amazing views- the shower had an open view

From the minute we arrived we were welcomed. We were introduced to staff and shown to our tented lodgings. Little did we know how perfect our accommodations would be and how wonderful it is to be awakened and serenaded by hippos in the river a mere 25 yards away. The four course meals were fantastic and the wake up coffee was presented at just the right time to fuel our days. The lunches made for us on our safari’s were top notch Do not miss this Camp. If you get the opportunity to visit consider yourselves fortunate.

A wonderfully personal, attentive, and considered experience. We will not hesitate to come back. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. From the game drives to the cuisine, every element is expertly executed. The food outdid our expectations. The camp sits in an amazing location in the conservancy, with scores of hippos visible from your luxury tent.

We ended our safari here at Neptune Rianta after flying into Arusha, Tanzania, and staying 2 nights at various Lemala tent camps up to the northern Serengeti. It was the only camp that was fenced. Hippos can be aggressive, and there are leopards here too so fencing is a necessity. Although there are no animals wandering around the camp as in other camps (except for the Mongoose during the day and Dik-Diks at night), we were more than happy to experience camping with the hippos! It was the reason for selecting this camp (along with the luxury accomodations) and we were not disappointed. Our tent was at the end of camp and the perfect viewing of one hippo family. It was great to watch other hippos sneaking over and causing a raucous! Such organize chaos with these creatures
