Wonderful exploration and perfect balance of adventure and leisure. Our guide, Andrew Kamaou was the best part of the trip. He knew the history and safaris well. He provide great insight on the various locations while also keeping us laughing! I teared up when we had to leave him behind to head to Diani beach.

Great beautiful location. Nice eatery area and pool.

Staff
Most staff were friendly and helpful. That were are few individuals who were not friendly nor helpful. Always seemed irritated.
Cleanliness & Comfort
New linens. Towels were a faded red color. Rooms are in much need of some maintenance. Shower handle broke in 2 separate rooms.
Maji Moto Maasai Cultural Camp
Maji Moto

Great immersive cultural experience. I would like to commend the Maasai community for accepting and immersing our group into the Maasai culture. The Maasai warriors and women shared a special piece of Kenya that I will carry in my heart forever. To say this was a riveting cultural experience would be an understatement.

Authenticity & Character
Susan was very critical of everything the various staff did. It was very distracting from the cultural experience. She should learn to operate behind the scenes.
Location
Beautiful campsite.
Staff
The Masai warriors and women were a real treat. Very welcoming and kind.

Very clean and neat bathrooms. Even the bed of leaves at the overnight camp was very neatly laid.

First, I would like to commend the Masai community for accepting and immersing our group into the Masai culture. The Masai warriors and women shared a special piece of Kenya that I will carry in my heart forever. To say this was a riveting cultural experience would be an understatement. With that being said, I would be remised if I didn’t share my concerns with Susan, manager or overseer. As a liaison for the Masai people. I think you could be more effective behind the scenes of the operations of the Masai cultural camp. Through my own observation, your persistent interruptions, comments and corrections were condescending and ill mannered. For someone who has lived among the Masai for 13 years I found some of your comments to be culturally insensitive. Your presence gave the experience a corporation type feeling as opposed to providing historical and cultural value. You were a distraction and made this experience seem like a workforce instead of authentic Masai culture. I encourage you to read about African history and colonization, cultural relativism, cultural influence and ethnocentrism to understand better your own prejudices and better effect change among the Masai community. I hope this criticism is constructive and I would be more than happy to provide additional guidance upon request.
