Outstanding lodge with the friendliest & most helpful staff. Room was comfortable and view from balcony is beautiful. Our 3rd year staying here & will always stay here if possible. Food is great, dining room folks are top notch. They pack an excellent breakfast/lunch for days you don’t want to dine in. An overall wonderful experience.

We enjoyed our stay here and we would come back. First, a big thanks to Chef Kennedy for preparing meals for my wife Kathryn, who cannot eat gluten, dairy products, oil and red meat. Second, a big shoutout to William W who took care of us on safari! William is great and if we came back we’d request him to take us on safari again. We loved the location of the lodge. The game drives were great and the staff was so friendly. The Masaai warrior (I think his name was Julian) who greeted us was so nice. We enjoyed the view from the lodge and our room. Everyone was friendly and we hope to be back! Bring cash because there is no ATM at the lodge. We wish we brought cash so we could top William and the staff and purchase art during our trip to the village. Thank you all for making our stay pleasant! And thank you William for everything, including hanging out with us as we waited for the airplane. -Nick and Kathryn

The location is absolutely unique and amazing, settled on a hill with panoramic views of the Maasai Mara plains, from each room. I was able to observe Elephant herds, Giraffes, Buffaloes, Warthogs from my room. What impressed me the most, was the frendliness and professionalism of the staff. They made me feel very welcome every minute of the stay. I approached the desk with a few requests (e.g. to change my room) and all of them were solved without hesitation to my full satisfaction.
