Beautiful camp and most amazing staff. We felt super welcomed as a Family with a 1.5 year old kid. Safaris are amazing. They are super flexible and we saw all the big cats. Not to be missed - breakfast in the bush. The service is outstanding, every night they put a hot water bottle in your bed. It's this kind of attention :-)

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are up-to-date with new WiFi, making it easy to stay connected. You don’t need to worry the insects. Here is clean and tidy. Services are also perfect and sweet. The hot showers are a dream, especially after a long day. When you’re heading to the national park, they’ll delicious breakfast and lunch boxes - they’re a real treat. And at night, the sounds of wildlife create a magical atmosphere. It’s a fantastic experience I highly recommend!

Mara Lodges Airport is 50 km away from Masai Mara Basecamp while Ol Kiombo Airstrip is 23.3 km away. Transfers and transport can be arranged for a surcharge.

It was our second visit to Mara NP, but our first time sleeping within these grounds. Waking up with a river view and having zebras or hyenas or giraffes looking right across is mesmerising. The tent was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for three persons. Esmo was assigned to take care of us at meal times and he did a wonderful job. The meals were freshly prepared and very good. It was like a set menu and there was always a vegeterian option. The Masai also made us feel safe in the evening while escorting us.

    We stayed in this lodge with my sister. The man at the reception was so kind - he upgraded us to the room with a view over the river and that completely changed the whole experience: being so close to hippos was absolutely wonderful. We could hear them at night even, magical! And at night we also saw elephants and giraffes coming to the river, literally at the gate of the camp - it was splendid. Excellent location for a safari in Masai Mara.

    Staff were incredibly friendly, especially the girls in the restaurant. And the two cooks too. Great food and plenty of it as well. Easy to take a breakfast or a lunch with you if wanna leave for an early or a whole day safari. We made reservations for a room, but got offered a tent, which we gladly took as the room looked not as comfy as the tent (warm, small windows without insectscreens). Hippos, crocs and kingfishers in river next to lodge. Even an elephant dropped by. Definetely worth a stay.

    the location is great, easy walking distance to the park-gate. We booked for a tent but the owner upgraded us to a bigger one without extra charge. There is hot water for showering but not towels. Friendly staff, we got a 10$ discount for the safari as we were only two people. The included breakfast was rich and enough.

    The host was very kind and supported with anything I needed as a guest such as food and drinks requests and even changing some currency. A shared safari was arranged.

    This was a fantastic place to go on safari in the Masai Mara. It was a beautiful location, surrounded by animals, many of which wandered the camp at night. The game drives were very good, lots of information given. We saw everything we wanted to see. The tents are well equipped and comfortable. We had the farthest one away from the lodge but never felt worried or scared by the animals roaming around.

    At the time of our trip, we could get an all-inclusive room in AA lodge cottages for 100 $ per night, which was a value for the money choice compared to campsite offers. With this price, I would say all was good and their pictures are helpful to know what you should expect. The location is just outside of the park, with a short drive to it. They gave us packed lunches for our safari day and the day of our departure.
