The location is really near to the Talek gate of Maasai Mara. The manager Magdy is a nice person who knows the area very well, he was always very careful and gave us details on how to arrive there, as well he organize our safari which was a great experience.

Talek Bush Camp – A Comprehensive Review It has taken me some time to be able to write down into words just how fantastic staying at Talek was, as I feel such a sadness to no longer be there. If you are considering booking this place, or you are looking for somewhere in the Masai Mara to stay, then look no further. Talek is sensational. My family and I felt like VIP’s from the moment we arrived and that treatment did not stop until even after we left Masai Mara. I’ll break down my review into a few important sections, but overall, I feel like I have left my heart at Talek and with the wonderful, warm, conscientious and welcoming people that live and work there. Before Arriving at Camp: I am one of those people that likes to meticulously plan, and that meant that I had found Talek, and Abdul (the wonderful owner) online one year before I even left the UK. From the moment that I messaged Abdul, he was friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. This is something that remained true of Abdul and his team throughout our stay. Abdul kindly arranged a transport for us from Nairobi and the five-hour drive to Talek was seamless. The drivers were kind, informative and friendly and even allowed us time to stop and take pictures on our journey. Before arrival Abdul explained how best the safari drives would work and even booked a hot air balloon trip for my husband and I on the day of our anniversary. Every time I messaged Abdul, nothing was too much trouble He was always happy to help and took the time to respond carefully to every query. Our driver, I am so sorry I have forgotten his name, who works at the camp, even took us to the local Masai Village where we met the people and learned all about their culture. What an experience. It was truly fantastic. Accommodation: We stayed in one of the cottages, a little brickwork cabin down with a wonderful view of the river. (One of the only ones to survive the horrendous flood).

The location is remote but excellent. It is not fenced so animals have access to the property. The staff took great care of their clients. The food was delicious

Perfect stay, right on the river to see the hippos too :)

It is all about a simple connection with the Maasai culture and network. Get away from too much of everything - to a simple but very rich way of living. Food is like that, simple but delicious. A walk to the near village, a great approach to the real way of living of the local community. The camp leverages solar power. Bathrooms are shared and traditional (no water flush) - for some people this might be the lowest point. Water is carried for a natural source everyday - for showers. Our family is not “camping” style - we slept however very well in the tents because they are very well equipped. In short - great connection with nature, amazing view, rich cultural experience. Loved it. It is close enough to Maasai Mara - the team coordinated a safari day.
