Beautiful aerial view of the vast plains of the Masai Mara, where all the magic happens. This is always a great start to a safari, and an epic way to end it!! With a view from the sky.

At Freeman Safaris, we are hospitality at its best, a home far away from home. We strive to make every safari special, ensuring you create lifetime memories.

Kristen came on her first safari with us and she left with so many good memories, we are already looking forward to her return!

"I like to run in the mornings and was concerned there wouldn’t be an adequate place to do so, being on the savannah and all and preferring eating breakfast over being breakfast. The staff offered to drive the car behind me while I ran for safety reasons and even joined me on a couple early morning runs! I will never forget that experience as long as I live. Asante Freeman Safaris! You made our trip so very special and we can’t wait for our next adventure in the Masai Mara already."

A Freeman's safari experience can be compared to none. Book with us and you will not regret. It is always pleasant when over 60% of our clients always come back and refer their friends to us. Maureen says:

"We have just returned from our 10th safari with Brian Freeman and the reason we have been so many times is that simply he is the best.

As usual it was brilliant, we are both very keen wildlife photographers and over the years we have witnessed many amazing sightings . Each trip is different and you never know what each day will bring. Our guides and drivers were very knowledgeable and always found the correct position for the best photo.

I am in my mid-eighties, husband a little younger and we still enjoy the Mara and Brian’s hospitality as much as ever, he is an excellent host with many tales been told around the campfire in the evenings.

Staff, Food and accommodation are 100%, What more can I say but thoroughly recommend this camp, we hope to continue our visits for many more years to come and are now preparing for our next trip in March."

Whether you are a solo adventurer, a group of amateur photographers or a family planning an African Safari; our safari camp caters for all your needs. With over 40 years of experience running safaris in the Kenyan wild, and an excellent host with a vast knowledge of the Masai Mara, you can never go wrong with a Freeman Experience.

Sarah came with her family for a 10-day Best of Kenya safari and she had a wonderful experience.

"Wow- if could give more than 5 starts I would- amazing, exceeding my expectations in so many ways. The staff are friendly and professional. The location is amazing just on the edge of the park so you are really close to the action- so much so that one morning as we were waiting for our es**rt to go for breakfast there was an elephant strolling through the camp. Our driver had 36 years of experience and it showed- he was eagle eyed at spotting the animals and had a sixth sense for getting the vehicle in just the right spot for a great view/ photos. We got so much closer to the animals and saw way more than I was expecting to. You may have noticed above that we needed an es**rt from our rooms to the main lodge- because of the proximity of the animals it wasn’t safe to walk alone in the dark- and yes we were having breakfast before dawn to give us the best chance to see the animals in action. Which we did- one morning finding a pride of lions with their kill at day break. This is not a holiday where you will be lounging by the pool (there isn’t one) but you will get to picnic by the river in the shade and watch the hippos and Nile crocodiles. In the evening there are communal drinks around the fire followed by dinner sharing the day’s experiences. The food was very good. Brain Freeman and his crew are welcoming and so knowledgeable, and we were well looked after from the moment we got into Nairobi- Brain set up everything for us in advance, including a couple of days in Amboseli which was also really enjoyable, but Mara was a much more authentic and individual experience, and we saw more animals and got closer to them. I can not recommend it highly enough. So many unforgettable moments."

We are Photographers' Paradise.

Ian Whiston says:

"Having just completed my 18th Safari with Freeman Safaris, People often ask why.

The driver guides are excellent at getting you the right position for taking photographs with minimal fuss, boasting a good knowledge of animal behaviour and where to find them. They negotiate any difficult conditions that the changing weather may throw upon them with ease.

The accommodation is great with hot running water showers whenever you want one. The sleeping facilities are spacious with adequate power supplies for charging your cameras batteries or pc and stable WiFi connection.
The food is perfect, cooked daily with fresh ingredients. The bonus? If you are out all day, an enjoyable picnic lunch is provided.

Your washing is carried out daily so you can carry less clothing which means more weight allowance for other things.

Overall, I have never being disappointed with any safari I have bring on; returning home with some excellent and unique images. And did I say? Brian is an excellent host, being a photographer himself he understands your needs as one and always matches your expectations.

I highly recommend Freeman Safaris for all your photographic excursions."

You can never go wrong with a photographic safari at Freeman's. Eric Wéry's review, who came on his first safari with us, says it all.

"Brian and his staff are specialized in photography safaris, they are hands down the best in the business. More, they will cater for your every need (splendid spacious accommodation, laundry service, delicious homemade cooking) to make sure you can focus 100% on your photography. The whole staff is extremely helpful and has impeccable manners. The drivers, in my case mighty Ruben, are well acquainted with demanding professional photographers and will make sure you come home with the best pictures. The warm welcome of the whole team makes you feel like part of the family. I'm just back from my 5 days trip and already making plans for next year's visit to the Mara with Brian."

Ever wondered what a gathering of giraffes is called?

Sights of Samburu: A must add to your Masai Mara safari.

This beautiful scorched landscape provides ideal conditions for the Grevy's zebra, gerenuk (giraffe-necked antelope), onyx, vulture guinea fowl and many more dry country mammals.

The river, which is the lifeline of the park, is the best place to see huge herds of elephants in action with their calves. We spend at least two hours under a tree by the river bank just watching the magic unfold.

This safari destination is a must add for adventurers looking to combine a Northern Kenya safari with a Masai Mara safar. It never disappoints, and we offer the combination at a very affordable cost.

Early Bird Discounts:

The Mara never ceases to amaze me, the shear verity and the density of animals is unique.

A client recently answered my question;
‘How was your game drive?’
She replied ‘Quiet.’
‘Oh what did you see’ said I.
She replied,:
‘a number of lions with a handsome male and then a single male cheetah scenting or marking a tree and finally a leopard but only briefly before it disappeared along the river bed’
‘And of course the plain game plus a hyena and small cubs’.

Well maybe it’s because she has been on 5 previous safaris with me to the Mara she had had busier days, however, make no bones about it that wasn’t quiet, far from it. In my opinion the Mara is by far the best African experience.

Yes I know the park fees have increased and I agree it’s a difficult pill to swallow, people are moaning some have even cancelled their Kenyan safari as all our parks have increased their fees. The rest of Africa will follow if they haven’t already, wait and see.

To kick start our bookings I have maintained last years prices and given early bird discounts, available on our website via the link https://www.freemansafaris.com/safari-prices. I urge you to take advantage of our discounts, come and enjoy the Mara before it’s too late.

Magical Mara:

The past few months, we have had the pleasure to follow this nursing cheetah's journey with her adorable cubs.

Come share this spectacle, and many more with us. There is something new to see everyday.
