    Lovely Stay
    We stayed at the Mara River Safari Lodge for 5 nights in December. Great place to take kids. We had our 11 year old grandson with us. Loved waking up and feeding the zebras from our balcony. It was great being able to go into the park when we wanted and coming back to the…

    Meets my expectation
    I choose this hotel because my mom loves animal. Before I booked this hotel, I emailed them and they recommend Twiga / Swala Rooms to have the best view, so I choose two Twiga Rooms, and we were not disappointed, the view was perfect, we can see the giraffe, zebra, and the next…

    Good place but vegie please carry your food.
    The place was good with lot of good scenic view with animals. Shows were good too. The biggest drawback was no Indian veg food available. The only restaurant was Uma restaurant which offers lunch with very little option. The hotel staff was not accomodative on food front. I had…

    is not worth the trip
    We have been here before, a day trip which was WOW and then the next time we stayed in a Twiga room. This time we were with our extended family, so we booked 2 Kifaru rooms for 2 nights. They cost over $400 per night each, which reception charged first in US$ then converted it…

    I will be staying over on 25Nov and had booked for Tembo & Kifaru family suite. Are these 2 family suite is next to each other or far apart? And, will we able to view the animals from both suite? Saw all the reviews was that the smaller rooms have better views of the animals.
    Sorry I don’t know the answer to this question, but the staff are very helpful and I am sure they will try their best to accommodate your needs. All the rooms that I saw you could seen the animals

    Is entry to the Waterpark and Fun zone included? When I read about the Night Safari Package for 1 night it mentions entry to the park but does not mention entry to waterpark and funzone?
    It was included for us. The night safari was not included.

    Hi, We are 2 families planning a vacation with our kids 1.5 and 4 years old. How many nights stay is sufficient to enjoy the safari lodge properly? Considering we have kids with us and don't want to rush too much into activities. Thank You.
    Is there a difference in the package if I book through third party and directly from the website? I saw that the cost is slightly lower so I wonder whether there are some activities not included..

    Sorry for the late reply. It was better to book direct on their website. Pass to the park was included and also breakfast. We also got a room upgrade.

    "The bathrooms were dated and a bit smelly but if you kept the door closed it was not a problem. Our rooms were on the second story."
    "If you want the best view to look animals, choose Twiga or Swala Rooms."
    "Room with balcony to feed the animals in the morning"
    "get the second floor room for better view"
    "One of the Kifura family rooms have the animals’ area view. Ask for this one if you are a family! Others have the pool view."
