I was two weeks ago with my girlfriend for two nights at the Mara Timbo camp in Masai Mara Kenyas. We had previously on holidaycheck informed and the camp directly from Germany booked. It has totally uncomplicated worked, because the owners German and we just called on Skype. We flew with Condor to Mombasa, we put on the south coast in a hotel, the owners had recommended and from there directly flew in the Masai Mara.
 
At the airfield in the Masai Mara arrived it was, without a moment to be lost, directly at the national park on safari trip, we were picked up by Kinanta, the Masai bellmen and nature of the coleopterists Mara Timbo camp, the greeted us with the words' all in butter?'
We believe our ears. This fun Masai spoke   but not only German, but is still with the German name of all animals in the Mara from, even with the German name fernshen all possible birds. We have been astonished,... And plenty of laughs.
 
Mara Timbo camp the picnic lunch boxes already brought with, so we then in the middle of the boonies with a fantastic view of the savanna and surrounded by dozens of zebras and a large herd of giraffes also not too far away our lunch enjoyed. That was after only two hours flight from the beach is an incredible experience. Once we sat right in the middle of it all. And everything without zone! Wow!
 
Unfortunately, we had not managed to get there in time for the migration in the Masai Mara, but we were very happy but so many animals to see, in quantities elephants, lions, buffalos, everything was on the way,...  or-as the rhinoceros-after a bit of tooing Kinanta MON unerringly found. Again and again we were speechless surprised where animals discovered this Masai, we drove past totsicher, even though it wasn't't far away just good camouflaged in the grass plants! the first afternoon and the first game drive we had four füng 'big five' seen!
 
And then another highlight the Mara Timbo camp itself. Located on the river with plenty of hippos in view, all meals on the banks of the river, in the evening on the large campfire.
 
The tents, awesome! Large, tastefully equipped. Large double bed under a canopy, romantic light in the tent. Outside there was a bathtub, which we and with much foam tested have.
 
The service and the staff in the Mara Timbo camp are top notch. We were all around. Literally ' bettüttert ', as it says in the North. And then again and again Kinanta, the evening at the fire with a cool drink at once sang 'you have the hair nice!' was no turning back.
 
We really enjoyed the days in the camp, the massages, delicious food, everything was very stylish, uncomplicated and of course. Only bothered us, that we were only two nights booked. A third night it would have former, then we would have probably also the 'big five' completely. But we missed the leopard 'collection' and in the 'unfortunately' we must go back again any time!
 
Mara Timbo camp verdict: top! I would recommend it to all, because just very, very nice and romantic.
