This place is very very bad .. there was no water flowing to brush our teeth or to take shower, the toilet do not flush properly.. when we turn the faucet on, the faucet handle came off .. The wooden steps ( especially the bottom one) to main restaurant is not stable the tent we stayed is Thomason , which should be a one person tent with single bed .. the double bed was close to one side of the wall , getting in and out bed was since you have to climb over the person your sleeping with .. the tent is dark ( lights was covered with red shades) .. very disappointed with the quality of this place.. only good part is the animals roaming around near the camp and once we heard lion’s roaring near by .. This place requires overall attention/ renovation and good management..,

This was our favorite activity! Camping out at the Bush Camp after slaughtering a goat was an incredible cultural experience.

I had read some reviews on google and trip advisor and requested to change this accommodation but only when it was too late. This was an all-inclusive hotel which would have been nice to know before it was booked. Me and my husband personally do not like these sorts of accommodations and would have rather been booked elsewhere. The room seemed clean, except the bathroom shower pretty much couldn’t drain due to the way it was built and water would get everywhere since there was no door. One of the weirdest things they did was have reusable water bottles full of “clean water” to brush teeth with and such but the fact that they were plastic reusable bottles was very weird. I didn’t want to put my mouth on something someone else had used. They had no water bottles anywhere for purchase, they just used a big jug to fill up everyone’s water. While this is fine, I would have liked to have access to water bottles while in the room. I could see how people get sick from the food. During all services some of the food that probably should have been cold was just left out, who knows how long this was for considering they had to set up for the service. We stuck to food that had been heated or was cooked right in front of us and I think that’s why we didn’t get sick. The bug net that was in the room was a mess. If you tried to close it on one side it opened on the other and felt like it was constantly open. It’s not that hard to have an easy to use bug net so this was really frustrating. We were worried about this because when you closed the door it still looked like it was open, there was cracks on all side that were decently big for plenty of insects to come in. I was thinking since this accommodation was on the beach that there would be beach loungers but unfortunately there was not, all the loungers are on the grass overlooking the beach. It felt like unless you got out there early you couldn’t get a lounger which was pretty annoying. People would leave their stuff there even if they weren’t using it all day. The service was pretty slow since it was all-inclusive. The outside pool bar usually had 2-3 guys working and about 10+ people waiting. At one point I waited 15 minutes for a coffee before I gave up because there was still someone in front of me that hadn’t ordered yet. there was an inside bar but everytime I went over there it was closed, so I’m not sure if they even use that. This place was close to the airport which was nice, but I would not recommend anyone else stay here. It was just okay.

We would not recommend this hotel to other travelers. Because it was outside the park getting into the park every day was a hassle, and you had to go through town and be swarmed by people trying to sell you stuff. The tent we were booked was entirely too big for us and had a master and a separate bedroom with 3 beds in it as well. For us, it seemed like a waste and we would have rather been booked inside the park at a nicer accommodation. When we got there I asked about laundry and they informed me they would bring a bag before dinner. This did not happen and I had to go to the front desk to remind them. The shower we took there was freezing and they had to work on the water heater. They did not have many food options for dinner. The WiFi in the tent did not work at all, you basically had to be in the reception area to be able to do anything on your phone. I was told the laundry would be completed before dinner the next night, when we left to go to dinner we still did not have the laundry. I was in the room during turn-down service and she said she would have it after dinner which left us not a lot of time to pack considering we were leaving early in the morning.

We had a wonderful time here learning about the community and what they have created. We would have liked to have more of an explanation of what this camp entailed. The walk to the bush camp was quite a hike and I would not recommend it for everyone. Once you are up at the camp there is no running water. While they do have a “washroom” it is just a wooden toilet that is covered by an enclosure. We were hesitant to participate in eating the goat, but after seeing it cooked we became much more comfortable. They had informed us that no one has every gotten sick from eating it and that was also comforting. I would have felt better if this was explained to me beforehand. All the staff was very sweet, and we really enjoyed the food offered.

I would say the only positive thing about this hotel is that it is located in the park. The bed we slept on was by far the most uncomfortable and felt the same as sleeping on the floor. The food was okay, but they did not have that much variety. We would not recommend this place to other travelers.

This was the best hotel we stayed at, we loved the staff and the cleanliness of the accommodations. The front desk was so welcoming, they had tea and coffee available at all hours, and the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing. There was a decent amount of options every time. At night they would give you a heating pack to sleep with since the tent can get a little cold, and it stayed warm almost all night. We loved staying inside the park so the game drive began as soon as we left in the morning.

This place was a little far from the airport, and considering we had to drive back closer to the airport on our first day of travel it probably would have been better if we were in a different location. The staff made it easy to check in, the food that was available was okay. It was close to Karen Blixen and Bomas which we did that day. When we arrived the shower did not have any clean towels, but the staff brought some right away. The shower did seem like it needed to be cleaned, especially the doors and the floor.

Should be explained more what this entailes with pictures of where you will be staying, that there is a hike up there, etc.

This was a much more difficult hike than I thought it was going to be and we are very active, working out daily and have been on previous hikes before. We would not recommend this activity to other travelers, it is basically all uphill with very little plateaus.

We enjoyed both drives

This hotel and facility was amazing and very clean and so unique with the tent cabins and the culture at the dining facility.

We spent one night at the bush Camp and it was amazing, what an experience we will never forget!

Very nice location and great accomodations.

Quiet with good service and very personable personnel. A nice hotel and good food.

Our driver, Stanley was very knowledgable and we really had alot of fun with him. He knew where to go to see the animals and knew his way around for game drives.

Sharing with feeding the giraffes was really neat.

We went on several game drives and thoroughly enjoyed our time with the animals we saw and the experiences we had. We went on a Hot Air Balloon ride that was exceptional.

The rooms are a bit dated but the air conditioner works and the bed is comfortable. We spent all of our time in the sun anyway so I was not as worried about the accommodations. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only downside was the quality of the food was lacking in terms of options and flavors for different meals. However, the beach was pretty and the pool was nice.

My fiance and I loved this place! To the point where we were a little sad to leave despite heading to the beach to relax for the remainder of our trip. The food-delicious. The accommodations-gorgeous and comfortable! The staff-friendly and happy to help. Amos checked on us and helped us during our stay and was wonderful at his job. Thank you for welcoming us! We shall return

This is a once in a life time experience. If you are looking for a true cultural immersion, then look no further! The people were warm and welcoming in a very sincere way. We felt like family while staying with them and learned so much about their culture. Honestly, I am not an outdoorsy person so this was outside of my comfort zone but I would stay here again and again to get to experience and learn more about the Maasai culture.

The food here was incredible. We spent 12 days in Kenya and the food here was within my top two out of all our lodging experiences during the trip. Having all the wild life animals right outside your door was a unique experience. The only downside was our mattress was SO hard. My fiance and I struggled to fall asleep. However we were only here for one night so not a huge issue. The pros outweighed the con for sure.

The grounds here are beautiful! The staff are friendly and helpful. The property is very secure and I felt safe staying here while in the city.

This was another of the camps we stayed at, and we loved it as well! Recommended!

We loved this camp we stayed at!

If I could give it more than five stars I would. David and his staff are amazing!

Very cool experience and wonderful camp!

It's a great place where you can see plenty of elephants and see them being taken care of!
