Elewana Elephant Pepper Camp

This is a 10/10 safari experience. My husband and I can't stop raving about our time here early November 2024 for our honeymoon. We booked 3 nights but could easily have stayed twice as long. The accommodations are out of this world and no detail is overlooked. Comfortable beds, double sink bathroom, international charging ports, hot water bottles in the bed at night, complimentary robes and slippers... the tents were beyond luxurious. The wildlife viewing was spectacular with knowledgeable guides and 2 game drives a day. Everyone was so warm and welcoming; we felt so taken care of the whole time. The camp has a beautiful view of the Masai Mara and isn't fenced in so you get amazing wildlife viewing right from your tent. Our first day there we saw a family of elephants hanging out less than a mile from camp. The food was delicious. We ate almost every meal outside and the bonfire each morning and evening made morning coffees and evening drinks so cozy. They even surprised my husband and I with a private dinner on our last night there to celebrate our honeymoon. Elephant Pepper was by far our favorite stop on our whole 12-day trip to Kenya - I can't recommend here enough!

this was a magical, once in a lifetime holiday with three days at Elephant Pepper Camp. It is an all-male run camp headed up by Moses and his crew, almost all Maasai. My husband uses an electric wheelchair and all the staff could not have done more to help him get around the camp. The wildlife viewings were superb, ably guided by Frances. The setting is magnificent with open savanna views and giraffe, zebras, elephant etc wondering by. We loved the genuine warmth and humour of the Maasai warriors. We had a memorable experience although I would say that if you are fully disabled and heavy, it may not be the best holiday choice for you.

Moses runs an incredibly amazing ship at Elephant Pepper. Alfred, Joshua, Dickson, Joseph, Sami and our guard that escorted us around the camp were nothing but kind, responsive and so knowledgable. The camp itself is breathtaking with the animals in close proximity and every meal we had was nothing short of delicious. Thank you for making our honeymoon and 1st time to Africa so incredibly special. We can’t wait to come back.

The Elephant Pepper Camp was an experience like no other. Being immersed in nature, hearing the sounds of animals and going on safaris everyday was magical. We were very grateful to have Dalton as our guide. He was a calm solid guide filled with such wisdom, and at such a young age! We were also fortunate to have Koisa taking care of all the details of our stay. Rongo, Moses, the chefs Peter and Samual and the entire staff at the Pepper Camp were exceptional.

After 2 somewhat disappointing nights at another "luxury" camp near the national park, we changed our itinerary to stay our last night in the Masai Mara region at Elewana Elephant Pepper Camp. The entire Elewana team was so helpful in allowing us to make these last minute changes and getting us transferred from our first property within a few hours. As soon as we stepped into the immaculately kept Elewana truck, our stress went away as we knew we would be expertly taken care of by the Elewana team. We had previously stayed at 6 other Elewana properties and the experience is unmatched. While we only had 1 day at Elephant Pepper, the acting manager, Collins, our expert guide, Leperes, and the rest of the team made sure our stay was memorable and full of wonderful surprises. The tent is beautifully appointed and is situated to view the animals roaming past. We thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails (at sunset) and coffee (at sunrise) by the blazing campfire surrounded by the magical Kenyan sky. Our waiter, Delmos, always with a smile, took care of our every need and prepped a special anniversary dinner table for us in the private tent. He also very kindly gave us the best riverside table for the fabulous bush breakfast...complete with zebras and hippos. The food, as with all Elewana properties, is first rate with lots of options. Thank you chef Peter. A key feature to Elephant Pepper is the access to the Mara North Conservancy. The conservancy safari is a very different experience than the park as the conservancy feels like a private game viewing. We felt we saw just as many animals at the conservancy as we did at the park with none of the excessive crowd and vehicle traffic as the park. Our guide, Leperes, was so knowledgeable and gave us an excellent game viewing experience. He also added additional insight to the area being a local Masai landowner. We are truly grateful to the Elewana team for ensuring our Masai Mara experience ended on a high note.

Exceptional 3 night stay at the Elewana Elephant Pepper Camp! Zed is a great manager. The entire staff is 100% committed to providing exceptional service. Shout out to Amos for teaching us some of the Swahili language and culture. The food was excellent. The location is phenomenal, our accommodations were excellent and Renga our safari guide is a pro! We had an awesome and unforgettable experience at the Elewana Elephant Pepper Camp!
