Well-planned accommodation in the middle of nowhere. We stayed for three nights. It is rustic, which made the experience - there are no fences, so the wildlife get quite close. You can hear nearby hyenas and lions calling in the evenings at dinner time, and at night we occasionally wake up to zebras just outside our tent with their heavy hooves. Surreal!
The tents are roomy, clean and maintained. You get a hot shower after your drive, right before dinner. The food was good - as mentioned in other reviews, how they manage to cook 3-course meals in such a secluded place boggles the mind! We had some pretty tasty main courses. When it’s not wet, they start a campfire before dinner, where you can sit and chat with other guests and also the Maasai that help guard the camp.
On two of our evenings there were massive rains, which meant some waterlogged and muddy “patios” and communal areas, but the staff were quick to clean these places up in no time. We could tell they were struggling to deal with the deluge and mess, but they were always smiling and very apologetic! Big shoutout to Liza and Emmanuel (sorry if I spelt your names wrong) - Liza was always looking out for us with a permanent smile on his face, and Emmanuel was such a nice, friendly presence at the dining area. The Maasai who helped guard the place and walked us to our tents each night were also very friendly - English isn’t their first language but they tried their best to converse with us, and it was nice having chats and exchanging knowledge.
The place is amazing, but the staff brought it up a few notches and really made our stay. You’ve got a great team and should be proud of them!
