Fisi Camp

Wenn Sie sich wie zu Hause fühlen möchten, ist dies der richtige Ort. Abgesehen von der landschaftlichen Schönheit und der atemberaubenden Aussicht vom Camp ist es gemütlich, einfach, freundlich und vor allem sauber und komfortabel. Wir waren 7 Tage hier und hatten die beste Erfahrung aller Zeiten. Dies war unsere zweite Reise zu den Massai. Obwohl die Straße, die zu diesem Ort führt, holprig und etwas schwer zu finden ist, hilft Ihnen die Ruhe und Schönheit des FISI-Camps, alles zu vergessen. Dieser Ort übertrifft alle Erwartungen. Es ist der perfekte Ort für Naturliebhaber, Wildtierliebhaber und alle, die ein authentisches Wildtiererlebnis suchen. Wir können es kaum erwarten, an diesen magischen Ort zurückzukehren und viele weitere Erinnerungen zu schaffen. Die Unterkünfte waren nicht nur komfortabel, sondern fügten sich auch nahtlos in die natürliche Umgebung ein, sodass wir uns wirklich als Teil des Dschungels fühlten. Von fantastischem und köstlichem Essen bis hin zu sauberen Zelten bietet dieser Ort alles. Obwohl das Camp vom Dschungel umgeben ist, gibt es in den Zelten nicht viele Insekten. Das Bett ist gemütlich und das Badezimmer ist hygienisch. Es sieht genauso aus wie auf den Fotos, die auf der Website hochgeladen wurden. Das Personal ist ausgezeichnet und bietet erstklassigen Service mit einer herzlichen und einladenden Einstellung. Das Camp hat auch eine unglaubliche Anzahl an Sicherheitsleuten, die Tag und Nacht Wache halten. Unser Guide Alison und unser Fahrer Daniel waren die beste Kombination, die wir während unserer Safari hatten. Sie kennen ihr Handwerk und den Dschungel gut. Jeden Tag hatten wir einen anderen, aber erstaunlichen Anblick der verschiedenen Tiere dort. Sie sorgten dafür, dass alle unsere Wünsche über unsere Erwartungen hinaus erfüllt wurden. Ken und Marie sind die bescheidensten Gastgeber, die ich je getroffen habe. Ein großes Dankeschön an sie, dass sie unsere Reise zu einer unvergesslichen gemacht haben. Ich kann einen Aufenthalt hier wärmstens empfehlen, es ist eine Erfahrung, die Sie nie vergessen werden …

Sehr schönes Camp. Gutes Essen und sehr schöne Fotoausflüge. Sehr nette Besitzer und hervorragende Guides. Die Guides sind sehr kompetent und können Tiere finden, die man selbst nie gefunden hätte. Auf den Ausflügen wurden sowohl Frühstück als auch Mittagessen serviert

Simple camp in a good location. The owners were very friendly and the owner even offered to let me borrow a bean bag for my camera. We chatted about it before and after my safari with the borrowed bean bag and he had plenty of advice for me. He told me about a hiding spot he's building for bird watchers, too. Overall, very lovely and enthusiastic people! The camp itself is good - not luxurious, but fine. I had a bat in my bathroom section, which I personally did not mind as it was eating the mosquitoes. I did have spiders in the bathroom section and a gecko in the main tent, which might be too much for some. The main challenge was the water pressure though. Showering after an entire group of people returned to the camp is sometimes close to impossible. This definitely needs to be improved. The light within the tent could also be brighter. I often used my headlamp when searching for something. The beds are fine and you get mosquito nets over each bed. The food was buffet style and decent. There is wifi in the restaurant tent and to some degree in the tent right next to it (I had that one). The dogs are watching the camp during the night and some of my friends heard them barking at hyenas during the night. So if you're a light sleeper, maybe bring some ear plugs ;-).

We spent 3 nights at Fisi camp while on safari in Maasai Mara and all three nights we were treated to delicious home cooked dinners/lunches, clean bathrooms, comfy tents, fireside chats, stunning sunset views and wonderful hospitality from Ken, Marie and all the Maasai staff. Thank you so much for such an amazing and unique experience!

We stayed at Fisi Camp for three nights in 2018 and were delighted with our stay. The staff were friendly, the local community were happy to see us on our drive to the gates, the food was good and the animals in the Sopa region of the Mara (where the camp is located) were phenomenal. The only downside was the poor conditions of the guides' sleeping quarters which were raised during our last visit and were assured were being improved. We therefore chose to return in 2022 for five nights (we left after three) and we brought our friends along too. What a mistake! Whilst the guest tents were unchanged from our initial visit, this is also true of the guide's accommodation which we had been told four years ago was being improved. The food tasted okay whilst at the camp but the day we left one of our party developed severe sickness and diarrhea - it turned out to be giardia - a parasite picked up from unclean drinking water or food cooked or washed in unclean water. Unclean water that is contaminated with faeces! Just as well we left early otherwise we might all have contracted it. The doctor advised that the infection would have occured within 48 hours of symptoms starting so the only place it could have been picked up from was Fisi Camp. As mentioned, we left the camp after three nights, we would have left after two if we could have. The reasons for this lay outside the camp itself however they made the camp an unpleasant place to stay so are pertinent to a review of our experience of staying there. Firstly, the Sopa region of the Masai Mara has been decimated. Local Masai take their cows, goats and sheep into the reserve to eat the grass (even though this is against the reserve rules). This means there is no grass left for the wild animals. The Sopa pride of lions has moved on and the hundreds of wildebeest we witnessed during our last stay were nonexistent! It takes over an hour's drive into the reserve to begin to see anything beyond agricultural animals and the odd lone zebra or impala. This area of the Mara is nothing like our previous visit and we would not return. Despite the lack of animals, we had planned to remain in the camp and undertake longer game drives to get to the Talek and Mara Triangle regions where the animals were plentiful. However, on our way to the gates on our second day, we encountered the hostility of the local community. At three points along the road to the gate, children hurled rocks at and into the vehicle (narrowly missing a fellow passenger's head). They also purposefully blocked the roads with sheep, cows and goats and would not move unless they were given money or food. The Masai working at the camp were also unfriendly and standoffish. This community directly benefits from Fisi Camp and its guests through school sponsorships and deliveries of maize. In turn, it repays the guests of Fisi Camp in this way. We did not save up for four years to come on a dream trip to be treated in this way by the local community.
