리리뷰어I booked this amazing Mara resort on my own (after getting scammed by a Nairobi safari agency which disappeared).
If you want to experience the famous Mara game drives, but don’t want to “rough it out in the tents”, this resort offers familiar 5-star luxury hotel-style rooms (fully enclosed with floor-to-ceiling windows), right along the famous Mara River.
I woke up to sounds of hippo frolicking in the river, I was well fed with made-to-order meals, and even surprised with a romantic riverside candlelight dinner, and a bush sundowner.
As I visited the resort during June before the peak safari season, I basically had the whole resort to myself.
My safari driver Lucas was amazing and kept in constant contact with his driver friends to obtain latest information about wildlife sightings, and I had to the great fortune of seeing all the big 5 animals, including the endangered rhino.
As mentioned before, I booked this resort on my own, so I contacted Helen from reservations, and she sorted out my private airport pickup from Nairobi Airport (US$270 per trip), as well as to provide food allergy information.
The nearest airstrip to the resort is Keekorok Airport (about 45 mins drive), and if you book the all-inclusive package, airstrip transfers to Keekorok is included as well.
In summary, if you want to experience a true 5-star luxury Mara safari (at a small fraction of the Ritz/JW), Pristine Mara Bay Lodge is no doubt my absolute recommendation.
I cannot repeat this enough, Pristine Mara Bay Lodge was the most wonderful safari experience for me, and please come with small USD bills to tip the absolutely amazing staff, nothing seemed too difficult for them, and they will greatly appreciate it.
KKara TaiWe absolutely loved this camp! The double tent is well equipped and beautifully decorated.
The staff were all amazing! Each night, our bed had hot water bottles in it, making it so cozy and warm. Early morning wake-up calls included coffee and milk delivered to the room.
From the time we arrived to the time we left, we felt pampered.
Big shout out to our safari guide Samson and his intern Felix. Samson knew exactly where to go to find the wildlife and explained everything to us, from the animal feces to their mating rituals. We could not have had a better guide.
Another shout out to Daisy and Duncan at reception, Dinah in the restaurant, Marc the conservationist, John who delivered our wake up calls, Loisiana in the restaurant, Debbie who told us so much about Masai culture, and Robert the Masai village chief’s son. Also, Ben who assisted us with getting to the hot air balloon safari.
Make time to visit the village to learn about the culture, be patient and kind to everyone, especially your safari guide, and be sure to tip! They deserve it!
The location is perfect, the bed is comfortable, and can’t say enough about the staff! Definitely highly recommended!
리리뷰어Fantastic location and friendly staff.
Excellent helpful staff and a great all inclusive meal choice.
Would highly recommend as it’s close to the Sekenani gate of the Maasai Mara game park.
Thank you everyone for a fantastic stay.👍
IIshaGreat tent, amazing location by mara river. You can hear hippos grunting throughout night. The morning are beautiful with birds chirping all around. They also had the option for night safari which was an amazing experience.
익익명 사용자국립 공원의 마라 강 가장자리에 위치한 전략적 위치, 장마철에 야생 동물을 즐길 수 있으며, 이동 시즌에는 호텔에서 직접 이동을 볼 수 있습니다. 호텔은 전문적이고 비용 효율적인 사냥 활동을 제공합니다. 객실은 자연과 완전히 통합되어 있습니다. 실제로 사진보다 낫습니다.
리리뷰어В целом кемп хороший, но не вау.
Номера старые и местами подушатанные, еда посредственная, дорога на подъезде к кемпу просто ужас - имейте это в виду.
Но местоположение хорошее, на момент поиска отеля для меня было норм соотношение цена-ценность, но если есть возможность - я бы еще поискала варианты.
