Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Their dining is superb, unlike any safari oriented place I've ever stayed, which is over 30 times. Their menu is extensive, and I mean first-class. You order one hour before because it takes time to create great food in the wilds of Masai Mara.. Simply amazing. I would go back just for the food. Their overall service is excellent and the lodging/tents are fine. Maybe a little more lighting would made the women happier (my wife). Their safari guide/driver was the best we had during our 10 full game drive days, including Serengeti/Ngorongoro. (15-20 minutes). He showed us a mother leopard feeding her two babies. Only 2 jeeps out of over 500 at the same site were so lucky, thanks to his skill and experience and knowledge of the area and patience. High quality for the low price, words usually unhear at other camps!

Perfect Place in Masai Mara
We really loved this location. It was our third time in Masai Mara so I can compare to Keekorok and Royal Maison. Royal Maison was nice, but this property is more level and the tents are closer to the reception and each other, yet still quite private. The electricity ran all night long, and there was cell service and data from the tents. The location is great as it is outside the gate of the reserve and very close to it. The food was amazing. So tasty and beautiful presentation. And the service was extremely passionate. They communicated throughout the day to determine what we would like to eat or any other things that we might need. Honestly I cannot think of a reason to stay at a different site when visiting the Mara
