Nariku Travel Experiences

One a piece of Paradise in the middle of a huge city. It's like having your own oasis. You will love the setting and the people and it's near the Nairobi game preserve.

An amazing facility with tent camps ( just a name as they are very nice with all the facilities you need in your room)that face the animals. Don't come out at night as you may meet one but very safe and tons of animals. Food is fabulous and staff will meet your every need

This was quite a surprise and an elegant place to stay. Waking the grounds next to you are Zebras, Water Bucks, giraffes and Hippos come into a protected area at night but fenced off. Food spectacular. The nearest park is Hells Gate reserve and t had limited animals but take the boat for an 45 minute cruise to the island and walk beside a number of animals. Worth the experience. The hotel was special

This was a huge surprise as when we arrived we thought it a very small park. Food and entertainment excellent. We found a mile square filed with 30 giraffe. Lions and cubs, and miles and miles to drive. You will love thsi area

Your tent cabin is on the Mara River and you feel like you should being on safari. Never met more friendly and accommodating staff and they made the stay special. The Mara is huge so a lot of driving to do but you are rewarded with an incredible number and kinds of animals. Don't miss the Olive

When you go on safari this is what you hope your accommodations will be like. We saw 12 different species of animals and all of them, in large quantities, visited the two water ponds right outside the lodge. Every animal species we saw cam to drink during the day. While it sits in the second largest game reserve in the country somehow the animals know it and love to come. 50 elephants, zebras, Cape buffalo and so many other animals came each night to drink and bathe. Food was great and as in every place we went in Kenya the people were incredible

worth a couple of days at most but quality place to visit and stay

Nice park, a lot of animals and worth 2 days

It is right beside the city but no fences and animals stay at will. Our first stop and we saw 18 different species of animlas including many Rhino. Amazing start to a terrific safari time

after all we had seen this was a bust. Very few animals and very small. Not worth the time and distance compared what we had seen on our safaris

Nice concept to save some abandoned elephants but you will be as close on your game drives so not a must for us

Balloon was a great experience. Short trip but over hundreds of animals and the breakfast was to die for

It is sooooooo big you have to drive a lot, over very rough roads to see animals but this is where you will find Cheetahs and leopards

Holy smoke it was like driving into the Sahara desert the roads were so dry and deep with sand. Certainly not worth the 5 mile entrance to find a few animals. Our least favorite stop

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Very cool experience! Definitely worth giving it a try.

It is simply stunning Logde nestled in wooded lot located near the entrance to Amboseli National Park with majstic snow capped mount Kilamnanjoro in the view. Tented accommdation is excellent and staff os fanstatic. Chief Chef was marvelous. Food varies (both vegeratian and non vegetarian) were amazing and were delicious

The lodge is simply a beautiful with spacious living room and a bathroom and a loft on the 2nd floor. The staff were friendly and attentive. Phenominal service and food.

This camp is located inside Maasai Mara National Reserve. The lodge nestled inside a dense forest with a picturesque setting and wildlife proximity. The entire lodge site is fenced in and no danger of wild animals entering the property. The wood firepit in the lounge area provided a rustic experience under the cool night air. The close proximity to wildlife, we were able to see many wild animals in one and half days of stay there.

A well designed lodge by passionate owners, with wife being a horticulturist and husband being a chef. The entire lodge is nesteled inside amzing gardens and a cool pool area. Each lodge has beautiful archituctural details with well decorated rooms.

The camp as good as it was advertised to depict the true nature of Maasai tribes. The hotwater system to the comminity shower from a natural hotwater springs is simply authentic, hence the name Maji (water) Moto (hot), hot water in Swahili laungu. The lodge its self built with natural material such mud wall and thatched roof and an open porch in the front is authentic as it can be.

Fabulous hotel nestled inside the Nakuru National Park. A well designed place near the Lake Nakura. Ambiance in and around the property is fantastic. Friendly staff and wide range of food options. Room were clean . Although it was not an issue for us, it may be challening for some people to climb up the numerous steps to reach rooms from the dining area or reception. Directional signs could be placed at thes stragetic locations and could be well illuminated

The tent strucctures of the Camp were set up nicely on the slope of a mountain valley with an imperssive view of the sun setting over the valley. Although I loved walking up and down hill from the reception/dining strucure to the our tent, it may be challening to others to walk up the hill. Since the staff was quick to move our luggage from the safari vehicles to and from the tents, we found it very helpful. The product quality was consistently outstanding and exceeded our expectations.

As I indicated in my intitial review of KImKim, one of the biggest disspointments of this place was the lack hot water shower and flushable toilets which did not work properly during our stay. Staff was not helpful in resolving the hot water issues and flusable toilets . One of the reasons for lack of hot water is a single solar powdered water tank supplying hot water to two tents. With occupants in one tent used the water first, the occupants in the second tent will have no hot water. In addition, cloudy days excesbrated the sitution as the solar panel was not able to heat the water to higher temperature. Also, there seems to an issue to pump system due to lack of vacuum breaker in the water supply lines. Water flow apepars to stop whenever vacuum is created in the water supply pipes. You will need a qualified plumber to resolve these issues.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 enjoyed both drives

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.

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