Inside the park
Safari company
Entim Main is a twelve-tent bush camp on the banks of the Mara River, which the Wilder Group places inside the reserve; one agent also puts it in the heart of the reserve. Its claim is position: the camp says it looks directly onto one of the river crossings, so in the migration months the action may come to you. Tents are raised, and Maasai warriors walk guests to their tents after dark. The Wilder Group, which also runs Ilkeliani, Entim Private, Paradise Plains and Lerai, publishes no rates. Choose it for a crossing on the doorstep from July to October; skip it if you need a published price or a pool.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
- $200per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.
The full fee schedule for Masai Mara National ReserveRates at Entim Main
Rates on request. The Wilder Group publishes no rates on its pages (read 6 Oct 2026); enquiries go to enquiries@wilder-group.com. Ask whether the reserve ticket ($100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day January to June, $200 July to December, Narok County Finance Act 2023) and VAT are included.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
