The food wasn't great-- except the Myna restaurant-- that was excellent. All the rest were disappointing quality.

Our lunch took 2 hours-- they paced the meal without asking. However, at the same time, it was the BEST butter chicken I have every had! The only other challenge was that there were steps to get to your room-- so for mobility challenged that could be an issue-- all on the same 'floor'

Very solid hotel. Clean, well cared for, good food! The restaurant staff were lovely.

5-star across the board. Only note of improvement would be for those with longer stays, like ours, to vary the menus. They repeated after 3 days. Entire staff was near perfection! Loved all of them

No notes, no suggestions. Near perfection! Wonderful staff led by Catherine (she's amazing). Chef is wonderful-- great food, accommodating. Love the bungalows with the fireplaces. Isiah is a wonderful safari driver-- personable and knowledgeable. Only improvement would be to have the owners encourage road improvements to get from the village to the entrance! Full of pot holes and very bumpy.

The Retreat is amazing... it would be nice if that could be open in the evening as well. Loved the afternoon tea, but for me-- it was too much Giraffe feeding to do the afternoon tea, the morning visit to the room, and then breakfast. I really liked going to the Giraffe Center because they were more expert in the giraffe's. As a suggestion, it would be beneficial to have a staffer come to afternoon tea and give more behavioral and biological details -- and answer questions. The food was excellent! Another suggestion would to be add hooks for towels or bags in the Retreat bathrooms for changing, or coming out the pool to use the restroom, etc.

We loved the Main House, especially the outdoor patio and the fireplace. Dennis was exceptional with service. Only thing was there was no pool or plunge area. We greatly appreciated the sundowner with the Maasai team led by Fred. That was special!

Wonderful experience at St. Monica's School. Loved learning about the school and supporting all the girls in their educational journey.

This was a mixed experience. The chef was accomplished and the food prepared was good. However, she was rude and arrogant to our driver -- and giving him multiple locations to go to.

Elvis was an exceptional tour guide! We learned a lot. It was great to get to buy the coffee at the end!

We had the only female balloon captain which was awesome! Beautiful ride and experience. My elderly parents were unable to go due mobility limitations which were only determined on our arrival-- and learning how we'd have to get in the basket and land. That was quite unfortunate. And there was no refund!

Benji was so knowledgeable and brought all kinds of rods and lures with him. My son had THE best time! He caught 4-5 bass. We also did a wonderful boat ride around the crescent and fed the African fishing eagles. That was very cool!

Bikes were old and uncomfortable. An insane amount of dust from all the buses and vehicles. There was no separate path for bikes. Unsafe to ride so close to the buses. The guide tried to have us hike down to the gorge despite flash floods killing 5 people.

We loved our awesome family tent and enjoyed hearing the hippos while we fell asleep. The food was incredible, and the staff were terrific. I highly recommend Olive Bush Camp.

If you're looking for a full cultural experience and are up for a bit of adventure, you must give this place a try. I wrote more about this place in my trip review. Please take a look there. It was the highlight of our trip!

We had a fantastic view and loved the pool after our day drives.

Loved this place! Tents were very well appointed, food and service were fantastic and we loved watching the animals at the watering hole.

Wonderful Rooms. The only complaint was that we had to move rooms the second night, and wish we could have just been assigned one room.

Very cool experience! Definitely worth giving it a try.

Worth the quick visit. Very educational and enjoyable, with great interaction with the elephants.
