Hotels in Kenya

Everything was great. The room was very spacious and nicely decorated and felt authentic. The dinner every night was very varied and of good quality, including fresh (and raw) fish. Great bar service and all around very friendly and helpful staff both at breakfast and at dinner, as well as the housekeepers. Would 10/10 recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Mara Hilltop – truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The view was breathtaking, and the tent was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Special thanks to Chef Allan for the delicious meals, and to Lucia and Steve who were always so helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Our game drives were unforgettable with Ken, an excellent driver who made sure we saw the Big 5! In Nairobi, John was also a great driver who took care of us very well. One of the highlights of our trip was the nature walk with Dickson – he was such a knowledgeable and engaging guide, making it an incredible experience. A huge thank you to NJ, a very patient owner who always responded to all my queries, and to Nick, who went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort, even checking in with us on our way home. Everything was so wonderful that we ended up extending our stay. We highly recommend Mara Hilltop Camp to anyone visiting the Masai Mara – you will not be disappointed!

Brilliant hotel with a beautiful garden that smells fresh and green! Food in restaurant is stunning! Staff is super kind and attentive. Room where we stayed is not big, but clean, sheets are crystal white, bathroom is very nice. Adorable hotel where you want to spend all day long - nice and enjoyable after long safari days and long trips. Amazing place - absolutely 5 stars!

Great location and view over the valley!

Stunning boutique hotel close to Watamu center. Great breakfast and hospitality. Beautiful garden and pool :)

Beauty of grounds and buildings.

Everything is simply fantastic. The full board is amazing and the menu changes daily. The included safari drives roam the famous Lemek Conservancy, ultra rich in wildlife including the big 5 (which we got). And who couldn’t love hippo corner, where up to 50 lounge on a mudbank just below the property!

Very flexible staff very capable and willing to help. Very comfortable and quiet room.

Very professional service and attention to detail in food, room service, and guest experiences.

Though a seasoned traveler, I am short of words to describe this unique property. Its location is truly one-of-a-kind- right next to the real airfield from where small aircraft and helicopters take off for domestic flights. Mind you, no flights at night, so a good sleep is guaranteed. The premises are just awesome: a colonial building erected back in 1927, with the fantastic authentic atmosphere of those days - be that the cozy fireplace room or the old British-style library with old books - all about airplanes and navigation; lots of genuine trophies and artifacts on the walls and real antiquated engines scattered throughout the place, serving as coffee tables, or stands, or just sole art objects- all of that creates a very special kind of ambience. There are two lovely courtyards - large enough and safe enough for kids to play (and a playground is there as well), and providing the atmosphere of relaxation for adults. The place is very secure - actually, there are two very well fenced perimeters around it: one- of the airport/airfield itself (as the hotel is inside the airport)- is under 24/7 surveillance, with cameras and barbed wire on top of a very solid fence; and the hotel's own perimeter secured by guards. The swimming pool and gym seem to be taken good care of though we didn't use them this time. Rooms are of 2 kinds- for pilots and crews (we stayed in the latter). Though not that large, our room boasted a supercomfy king size bed with an anti-moscquito net around it (yet another reference to the colonial days though very useful and efficient against moscquitoes), an AC, a tea kettle, and a spacious bathroom with a great shower (needless to say, the water is purified and safe to use for brushing one's teeth). There also is a bar and a restaurant, both in the same colonial style. We haven't use the former but food at the restaurant certainly worth a Michelin star!
