This was a fantastic place to stay. We booked directly with the hotel, and found the owner to be efficient in responding online. That was a very nice pre- touch. They also took care of our flight arrangments for us which was somewhat of a relief. The lodge itself is wonderful, and I agree with all previous reviewers who found... more

What a fantastic place. The food was superb. Way beyond what you would expect in the middle of the bush. International cuisine, great steaks, barbecues, all first class. They even gave us a lunch on the open plain surrounded by wildlife at no extra cost. The rooms unimaginably luxurious and memorable. Loved the carvings of wildlife. Loved watching hippos from... more

Actual physical location could not be more idyllic. The peninsula makes it very private and provides a stunning view of the river and the Hippo Pools. (And the resident 100 plus Hippos) Tents were straight out of a fantasy, very over the top in a wonderful way. Animals in the carvings and paintings looked very natural. The tents were well... more

As Canadians living in Nairobi Kenya, the world famous Massai Mara game conservancy is less than a one hour flight from our home. We are frequent visitors to this region and love to see the amazing wildlife that exists here like no other place on our planet! Having just spent three spectacular days there last week showing off our "backyard"... more

I've been to Kenya before. I stayed at Governor's camp last time, and Kichwa Tembo, but I just recently got back from my latest Africa holiday, where I stayed at the Royal Mara. This place is amazing. My "tent" if you want to call it that, is really a small lodge. I had a private deck overlooking the Mara river,... more

2008年1月に夫婦で2泊しました。 Masai Maraは4回目です。今年は前日までTalek 川沿いのBASE CAMPに宿泊し、Masai Maraの最後は少し豪華なロッジにしようと思い、保護区の北にあるこのロッジに宿泊してみました。Mara川沿いに6つのテント式の客室があります。「これがテント?」と思えるぐらい部屋は広く、開放的なつくりです。電気は時間制限がありますがデジカメの充電などはテント内で可能です。トイレとシャワールームが別で暖かいシャワーもGOOD!バスローブもあります。 また、無料のランドリー・サービスもあります。(アイロンなしです) テントの前のテラスからカバが見ることができます。いつもではないですがCocodileの昼寝も見ることができます。川の向こうはブッシュで動物たちをみることは難しく、テラスの右手(西側)は山が迫っています。 部屋から広大なサバンナを見たい人には物足りなさがあるかもしれません。私が滞在した1月はまだ開発中で、客室もこれから増えていくようです。 ロッジ内の移動にはロッジ専属のレンジャーの付き添いが必要となります。私たちが滞在した、No.1テントの奥にヒッポ・プールがあり、カバの大群が群がっておりました。レンジャーの許可をもらって川辺近くまで降りることができます。ただ、Crocodileもいますので注意が必要です。 昼食はヒッポプールの近くやエントランス近くの川沿いでの野外ランチになります。夜も焚き火を囲み、野外で食事でした。食事はなんといってもお肉料理がおいしかった。他のものは普通といったところ。 ロッジ内にはサバンナ・モンキーが沢山います。昼はビュッフェ式なのでスタッフがいなくなったスキを見て食事を狙っていました。 ゲーム・サファリでは初日に、メスライオンと沢山のお子様ライオン、チーターの親子、ヒョウの親子と連続してみることができ、大変満足でした。また、白サイを飼育しているKOYIAKIという私設保護区施設に立ち寄り、サイと記念撮影が可能でした。マサイマラの北のエリアは木々も多く、保護区内とは少し違った雰囲気で、私は結構気に入っています。 ゲーム・サファリは客の好みにあわせてアレンジしてくれるので事前に交渉するのがよいでしょう。最終日は午後4時のフライトでしたが、チェックアウト後もスタッフの配慮で出発まで部屋でのんびりできました。 more
