Had another brilliant stay at this fantastic luxury tented safari site. Booked cheapest flights thru ebookers, and used **easternvacations-kenya.com** based in Mombasa to book the lodge and internal flights. Excellent service again, met us at Nairobi airport and arranged transfers on both incoming and outgoing flights. Didn't bother with the beach - just spent 10 nights on the beautiful Maasai... more

We stayed at the Mara Safari club last year which is a fantastic hotel staffed by very friendly, honest, people. My girlfriend was very keen to go to Africa and I was sceptical following bad experiences in Morrocco, and Egypt. I have to say the people we encountered were warm open and so helpful, very different to other parts of... more

We recently returned to the Safari Club for our second time; the first being in 2005. Though there have been several changes since the new ownership,we found that we received the same wonderful services we had previously. It was one of the highlights of our safari. more

We stayed in the Mara Safari Club for three nights earlier this month as part of a safari in Kenya. We arrived expecting to see renovation work but we pleased to see that it all have been completed just before we got there. The place is wonderful. The tents are clean, spacious and stylish. Each is fully fitted with shower,... more

We arrived by plane from Mombasa and only had a very short drive of 10 - 15 minutes to the hotel / tented camp. I expect if you arrive by road it would be a long and possibly uncomfortable journey. On arrival we were allocated tents which were well equipped and all faced the river. Below our tent (down a... more

We were in Mara Safari Club during our honeymoon trip and the 4 days experience was great. We went by plane from Nairobi to Masai Mara, it is comfortably and fast. Very good services, much better then in a lot of places from Europe, very nice people and a lot of care for details. We stayed in a tent, of... more

Be aware that while the Mara Safari Club is a beautiful property, tents are luxurious and staff very nice, the location is far from the reserve on very, very, bad roads. Yes, you can see lots of game, but you must drive quite a way to do so. It takes an entire day to get to the Mara River to... more

We have done lodges before. but tented beats them. The whole thing was wonderfull, the food was excellent. We saw the "big five" in one day, even when we had heavy rain it was like having a 4x4 experience. I can say there was nothing we did not like. The safari was booked in diani, from D. M. tours. more

What can I say - we went on a 3 day safari, myself, my partner and our 11 year old son. What a fantastic experience made even more special by our guides/drivers, Joseph and Ashford who found the big 5 for us and so much more including Hyena during the day and at night which particularly impressed Connor, our son.... more
