Beautiful location and glass windows to enjoy the park. Right inside Masai Mara. Buffet was good nightly.

This hotel completely exceeded our expectations. The hotel is 3 years old, so everything is super new. They have a very nice gym, pool, rooms ( made out completely of glass) and the installation are amazing. My highlight of this place is the service and food. A big applause to Daniel, Patrick for making our stay amazing and to Olle for being the best guide ever. Regarding food I cannot understand why there is comments saying that it is not good. This is not the case. It is very healthy, with a lot of spices and lot of options. We loved the food.

Amazing place, staff at reception are wonderful, upgraded my room free of charge. Very friendly place. Restaurant food was very tasty and full of variety. Chef personally checks on you and caters for all ur needs. Definitely will come back!

-The dinner was great and included many vegetarian options -Cottages are spacious, clean and beautifully decorated -Awesome ambiance -Very friendly staff and exceptional service

The food, the staff and the location was phenomenal. huge place for kids to run around and every single request was catered to. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The whole safari was amazing we spent 2 nights and 3 days in masai mara , staff were great gideon and dunson always looking after us great lads , loved the animals we got so close i would recommend it to anyone , rooms were immaculate cant complain at all , overall amazing.

We got an upgrade from the wooden cottages to one of the glass cottages, which were amazing. Such cool design and really comfortable. The staff, especially the gentleman that served us at the dining hall, were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was good and the chefs were always keen to chat about their meals. The hotel has one huge beautiful pool, perfect for a midday cool down. We sat on the deck a couple of evening having sun-downers, with such a serene and beautiful view. We booked a Safari through the lodge, and the safaris are spectacular. I would do it again any time. We saw the big 5 before lunch time, which is unprecedented. Having a picnic in the middle of the Masai Mara with a giraffe in the distance is just something you can't explain to anybody - definitely a highlight in my life. The guides are all also in constant contact, so they actively make a plan to get you to the wildlife sightings - you won't be able to do this on your own.

Very excellent staff, lovely location, superb game drives.

The environment was serene, people are kind and courteous, rooms are clean and comfortable.

The lodge ambience and the staff service were exceptional Though located in the wild Masai Mara Reserve , the lodge makes you feel at home and cozy . With an additional fee; they can plan a safari tour with a masai guide and provide picnic for your tours . Worthy of mention is the manager; Mr Daniel and Dunson - the dining supervisor ; they were really kind. Would visit again and recommend facility for a wonderful safari and holiday experience.
