Great experience, we'll be glad to go back! From the welcome (wilson, jeremy and helen) to the safari (jonathan), the cooking (john) and security (tanin), we had a memorable stay. We really thank the team for going the extra mile to make our stay exceptional! 🤩 The rooms are very comfortable (impeccable cleanliness and bedding), the meals are a real pleasure, and the staff are always available and smiling! The safari was exceptional, let johnathan guide you you will not be disappointed! Thank you Wilson and team! We highly recommend it!

Our recent stay at the camp was absolutely magical! From the very start, Sandra was incredibly helpful and responsive when I messaged her. She made the booking process so smooth and ensured we had everything we need. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with an incredible dance by the team to celebrate our arrival We were there to celebrate my mom's birthday, and the team made it so special! On one of the nights, they surprised her with a beautiful cake and a mini party. Their attention to detail and genuine effort to make her day memorable meant the world to us. The people at the camp truly made our experience extraordinary. Joseph, the owner, was an incredible tour guide who shared his deep knowledge and passion for the area, making every adventure even more exciting. Patrick, Daniel, and the rest of the team went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, and their kindness and warmth made our stay unforgettable. The food was out of this world! Every meal was a celebration of fresh, flavorful dishes that made dining one of the highlights of our stay. Each bite was prepared with so much care that it felt like a true feast every time. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of nature was a dream come true. The thoughtful details, from the cozy beds to the special birthday decorations, made everything feel so personalized and luxurious. The camp itself was pristine and impeccably maintained, which gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. This camp didn’t just enhance our trip, it became the heart of our Maasai Mara adventure. The warmth, hospitality, and genuine care from the team made it an experience we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a place that combines breathtaking surroundings, amazing people, and unforgettable moments, this is the perfect destination. It also helps that the camp is very close to the gate. Thank you to the entire team, for making our trip so special.

Sarova Mara Game Camp, hotel in Sekenani

Sarova Mara Game Camp is nestled within in the heart of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, surrounded by 2 streams the camp also features a exotic trees, a large fish pond and an Maasai village adjoining...

We stayed in a club tent, and we loved that it was set away from the main accommodation, so it was a bit more quiet and secluded. Our room was beautiful with large bathroom facilities and allowed plenty of space to relax. We also had access to the Olchani Lounge, which overlooked the lake. The food was exceptional, and the staff were terrific. Everyone was attentive, and having stayed for 4 nights, the lounge staff knew my partner would be looking to enjoy a beer post afternoon safari each day. To celebrate a special occasion, my partner was also surprised with a cake on our final night, which was lovely. We would highly recommend Sarova and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Mara Sweet Acacia Lodge, hotel in Talek

Located in Talek, Mara Sweet Acacia Lodge provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The tents in the hotel are new, spacious and the beds are comfortable. The food was fresh and varied from day to day. When we went out before dawn, the staff would wait for us a short distance from the room to make sure we wouldn't be harassed by some small wildlife living nearby. The hotel's location is perfect, right on the edge of the Maasai Mara gates and easy to explore.

    Everything—the amazing breakfast, the decorations, the staff, and the host (Eight, if I wrote it correctly)—is located before the gates, so you don’t have to pay park fees. You have shared taxis from Narok to the accommodation in both directions, and they can assist you in organizing safari tours. It truly was an amazing experience! The place is perfect for relaxation, and their free museum provides insights into the local communities around Africa. Additionally, they offer workshops

    We had a wonderful stay at Neptune Rianta. The accommodation was perfect, beautiful tented accommodation overlooking the river, woken by hippos every morning. The staff were outstanding, friendly and efficient, in particular, Daisy our wonderful waitress, Daniel our friendly butler and Daniel our masai safari guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations in every way. Daniel ensured we found every animal, providing us with detailed information and was so much fun to be with!

    We were well taken care off by the staff. We had a bush breakfast that the lodge offers few times which was fantastic. We were on a self driving trip and the lodge arranged a guide for us who was fantastic 🙏🏻. Our beds had a mosquito net and we were able to sleep well. The camp is only few minutes outside the gate. The staff was very flexible. We also did a bushwalk, which we also recommend.

    The location was amazing. We were looking for a lodge with incredible views and we weren't disappointed! The attention and food were excellent. We enjoyed the pool and our time at the lodge and in the conservation. We really appreciated the intimacy of the environment with the limited number of rooms and overall setup.

    The place, will not even call it a lodge, is a total scam. Totally horrifying experience that you will definitely send your worst enemy there. They only provide electricity from 6pm to 10pm, and 6am to 7am. The driver that picked us up, insisted and demanded us to pay entrance fee to the park of USD80 per pax telling us the camp is inside the park. Then on the next morning, demanded another USD 80 per pax for park entrance fee again, and this time telling us we need to enter the park as the camp is outside the park.

    Very friendly staff. Ibrahim organized a shared safari for us for a good price (6000kes for two people for a whole day excl. Park fees) and also a pick up with the matatu at 6am in the morning. Very helpful! We also got hot water and tee when we needed it most. Very quiet place Meals for 600kes were good

    Beautiful camp. Location is perfect, it takes only 10-20 minutes to reach Masai Mara Park. We got a tent with an amazing view! It was breathtaking. The bed was comfy with extra mosquito net. We also had a bathroom in the tent. The food was freshly made, mainly local dishes. They also can pack it with you if you want to go for a whole day safari.
