Julia's River Camp

WOW. wow...wow. We absolutely loved our experience at Julia's River Camp. It was the perfect balance of being incredibly well cared for without the "glamour" and price tag of some of the other camps. The camp sits on the Talek River, unfenced, so there's loads to see right from camp...hippos bathing, crocs sunning themselves, birds galore.... Our accommodation was a large, very comfortable platform tent with it's own bath...nice linens, clean and cozy with nightly turn down and mosquito netting service from our wonderful steward, Duncan. What really made Julias and unforgettable and awesome experience were the folks that worked there... our fabulous guide, Leo, camp manager Mark, James, Rhonda, Duncan, "Uncle" and all of our wonderful "askaris" and support folks. We miss them all and will never forget their kindness and great service! xxx A whooper big shout out to our incredible guide, Leo... so knowledgable, so kind, such an awesome person... we are so grateful and feel so lucky to have you in our life! THANK YOU!

Julias River camp is amazing! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was also amazing, breakfast was very filling before the safaris, the packed lunches were lovely and the dinner was delicious! The wildlife was outstanding, as we were in tent 10 by the river, during the night a buffalo passed our tent and left tracks in the morning, we also saw 2 hippos quite regularly on our stay which was amazing. Joseph and Brian were very nice! I really reccomend this camp!

The camp was relaxing. They do a wonderful job keeping the tents clean and insect free! They also made sure my food was gluten free! The staff was very kind and welcoming and I highly recommend to anyone traveling with children. Very family friendly and kid friendly too.

This is a tented camp. The size of the tents are smaller than most camp but comfortable. The food service was pathetic. They have buffet service but the food served is not even sufficient for 30% of the residents. The rest of the guest were left with the crumbs. We were a family of 6 adults and for breakfast we were served a total of 2 slice of bread (cut in half) 6 spoons of Baked beans and 4 sausages. So we had to figure out how do we distribute this amongst us. We contacted our Tour agency who then sorted out the food issue and then sufficient quantity of meals were served. The quality of meals also improved. I am giving the 1 star rating because the Camp played around the quantity and quality for the first 3 meals and only after the intervention did they improve.

Very basic tented accommodation even in Buffalo camp. Food also very basic and monotonous. Over priced comparing other camps. Location is OK. Cleanliness average. Service average. The Manager is not bothered to meet guests even when asked for.

With the family, from Barcelona, we spent Chris**as at Julia's River Camp and the stay was really amazing. We had the driver "Lion" (I don't know if I'm spelling it right) as our Safari guide in Masai Mara for three days, and I think he was the best thing that happened to us during the whole trip. A very kind and nice guy who made us see everything we wanted to see during the safari. If you go there, ask for him, he will make you live the best experience possible.
