Best wildlife destinations while in Masai Mara.the lodge is nestled on a spectacular cliff overlooking g the Mara plains, and the artistic setup is excellent. Safari is well managed while at the lodge. Mostly luxarious destinations it's worth a visit

Where to even begin! Without a doubt, the best experience of our lives! From the moment we landed on the airstrip in Masai Mara, the entire experience was nothing short of magical. We were welcomed with champagne by Newton & Regina, who were our guides for our trip. Even on the short drive to the hotel, we saw so many animals, it was amazing. We arrived at the hotel to a welcome song by all the team, who also happen to all be amazing singers. Mariana and Caroline run the most beautiful home from home, and they were nothing short of fabulous. It should be a 7 star hotel, as the service we received was nothing short of exceptional. David, our server, is without doubt the best in the business. Every little detail, and nothing was ever too much. I don’t think we had an empty glass our entire stay…. A masterclass in hospitality! The food…. there are no words. Every day the menu changes, and every meal, every course, was stunning beyond belief, and the bread, freshly baked each day, and different for every meal, was a fabulous touch. The tent (if you can call it that) but exactly what you would dream of for a luxury safari, and Sarah our housekeeper made sure every little detail was pitch perfect… including the hot water bottles, which were a welcome surprise. The view is out of this world. Everyday we saw elephants, hippos and giraffes right in front of us! I took my Mum for her 60th birthday and they did more than you could imagine to make it so special for her, it really was magical! And then there’s the game drives! Newton is a master of the Mara, we saw every animal you could think of, and we saw hunting, birthing, fighting, you name it! And each day he would have a picnic, or champagne, or something else to just make the experience even better. He was able to anticipate the animals movements to ensure we always were in the best viewing spots, absolutely mesmerising! Just being in the camp, learning Kenyan with Caroline, learning about the local people with Marianne, or having a massage with Joanne & Vera, it feels like you’re at home! To Marianne, Caroline, David, Newton, Regina, Joy, Dennis, Sarah, Wilson, Vera, Joanne and all of the Mahali Mzuri family, thank you so much for a life changing experience! We will certainly be back soon xx

It’s hard to know where to start our review of Mahali Mzuri. Everything was perfect. We were greeted at the airfield with champagne and met our guide, Levi and his trainee Dansen. We were given a game drive on the way back from the airport and saw lions, a crocodile, hippos, and various other animals right away. We were lucky enough to have tent 12, while is on the far end provided excellent privacy and viewing of the valley below. The room was extremely well thought out and spacious. The only issue we ever had was the afternoons (12-4 or so) the tent became quite toasty - there is no AC but a fan is provided. The housekeeping staff kept everything in tip top shape for the entirely of our stay. The food was amazing - everyone was quick to provide refills of drinks and each evening game drive concluded with a glass of wine and snacks. One evening they arranged a special campfire at the end of the drive with the other guests that included a full bar. Another evening we were treated to a dinner under the stars with traditional dance and food. The staff kindly helped arrange a hot air balloon for my husband (I passed on this as the small plane to arrive at camp is the limit of my tolerance for small planes) and I went to the spa. The spa is incredibly reasonable and down further from the pool where you can hear all sorts of wildlife during your massage. The infinity pool was cool and extremely refreshing. Definitely bring your bathing suits for the warm afternoons between game drives. This was an amazing first experience for a safari. I appreciated the commitment to the local community by the resort as well. It’s nice to feel like your tourism dollars are going back into the local community. We saw so many animals during our time and that was definitely due to the experience and knowledge of our guides. We are dreaming of returning soon!

Hands down this was one of the best experiences of my life. Everyone at Mahali Mzuri feels like family. The food was fabulous. The chef is amazing and can take you on a tour of the garden. He has recipe books you can take home with you. Our waitress Letticia was wonderful. The game drives were unbelievable. We felt very lucky to have Kas drive us on the most phenomenal game drives. We saw so many animals including a black rhino that hasn’t been seen in the park for 13 years and the river crossing of the great migration. He has incredible skill and knowledge. I cannot recommend staying here enough. They pay such close attention to detail and care. I went with my family celebrating that I was done with a year of treatment fighting cancer. The manager wrote such a sweet note welcoming us and even my housekeeper made me feel special. Do not hesitate staying here one bit. it will be worth it. I highly recommend staying for at least 4-5 days. It was always a surprise to see what Kas would find. I also recommend going to the village and the hot air balloon ride. It is simply a magical place.

Mahali Mzuri offers an exceptional safari experience with luxurious accommodations, breathtaking wildlife views, exquisite cuisine, and outstanding service. A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation awaits! Highly recommended by Gemsbok Safaris!

It’s very hard to describe how special Mahali Mzuri is. From the minute you arrive to smiling faces and a traditional welcome song, you are met with an astonishing view down the valley, complete with hippos, hyenas, elephants and giraffes! The staff were the most attentive I have ever seen. By the end of our 5 nights, we all felt like we were staying at a friend’s luxurious private safari. The two safaris per day were nothing short of exceptional. We saw literally everything we came to see, multiple times, up close, without other vehicles most of the time. Our amazing guide, Gideon, seemed to anticipate all the animal behaviour before we even saw them, so we were always in the right place at the right time. He was so passionate and focussed, and so knowledgeable, we feel like we have a deep insight into African wildlife and local culture. Another highlight was the local school. We had brought gifts (Mahali Mzuri send you a link to buy appropriate things) and we were met with the most inspiring principal who has worked so hard to build the school from one tin shed to a population of 400 students. This was done through donations from Mahali Mzuri guests and please consider visiting and donating yourself. The kids were so passionate about learning, the teachers so talented - lives are being utterly transformed there. Marianne, the General Manager, runs a highly efficient and caring team and was often seen laughing and chatting with guests. She was just a joy to be around and her enthusiasm was infectious. Finally, all the staff went out of their way to engage and entertain our 12 year old son. He even went on a game drive without us which he claims was his utmost highlight of the whole holiday. Caroline. Ann, James, Bob, Denis - thank you and your colleagues for making us feel so special and welcome. We will be back to visit soon!
