ケニアナロクで、バーのあるホテル

I 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.

I stayed at Fig Tree Camp for 5 days in February with my son and his family. We were looked after extremely well for our whole stay. We were picked up at the airport strip by Julius, our driver, and our guide, also called Julius! Made remembering names more easily! We were taken on safari immediately and saw lions and giraffes before heading to the camp. We were met with cool drinks and cloths before giving our details to the wonderful receptionist, Sheila. We were shown our tents, overlooking a bend in the river, where we were able to see (and hear) hippopotamus and their babies. We took a balloon trip, arriving just before dawn and we rose into the air as the sun rose over the land. It was a magical experience and Thom, our captain, was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. Once we had landed, we were driven for our amazing champagne breakfast before being whisked off on safari again. Our driver and guide were very good and found out where the animals were, we were lucky enough to see a leopard - one of the 50 in the park. We were also amazed to find ourselves in the middle of a herd of elephants and babies, who moved so quietly for all their bulk. We were also in the right place to watch hunting lionesses, even though they didn't make a kill that time. Every time we went out, we saw amazing animals in their habitat. We also had 2 picnic meals in the bush, it felt quite bizarre to be able to sit outside to eat in a place where lions, elephants and cheetahs roamed. I can recommend Fig Tree Camp and the great staff there. If you are thinking of visiting the Massai Mara, head for Fig Tree Camp!

We 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!

Amazing property with incredible inclusions like twice daily game drives, yummy food, and rhino sanctuary visit! Our guides Jonathan & Sadala were experts at spotting all of the animals and choosing the best trails to take. They were also super well informed about the different animals, their habits and breeding cycles, their namesakes, and more. The rooms all had views of the winding Mara River with hippos, crocs, and some beautiful birds on display everyday. The in house service was also very impressive with great care by Trimlet in our room service & Leboo in the restaurant. I hope I will be back to see the gorgeous scenery once more!

抜群!!カスタマーサービスは素晴らしかった。私たちが淡水で掃除する部屋。私たちはとても安全だと感じました。私はすべてに滞在することをお勧めします。食べ物が美味しかったので食事はきれいです。スタッフはゲストにとても気配りがありました。

ホテルの場所はとても良く、環境はとても良く、マサイマラデルタを見下ろす景色は開放的です。朝食の種類は非常に豊富で、子供たちを遊ばせるのにも良い選択です。

Fantastic 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.👍

Great 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.

Хороший сервис. Приятное место. Еда вкусная. По запросу приносят холодильник

ケニアは初めてだったので、他では味わえないような宿泊施設を探していました。慎重に選んだ結果、コストパフォーマンスの良いこのホテルを見つけました。最初は口コミを見て少し不安でしたが、中国人が経営するホテルだと聞いて安心しました。全体的に、素晴らしい滞在でした。木造のキャビンは個性的で、デザインには地元の要素がたくさん取り入れられていました。部屋は清潔で、中国人のスタッフがいたおかげでとてもリラックスできました。言葉のやり取りもスムーズで、ホテルのスタッフはとても親切で気配りが行き届いていました。ホテルでは1日3食付きで、肉と野菜のバランスが良く、味も満足できるものでした。シャワーの水圧も想像していたほど不安定ではありませんでした。設備は少し古かったものの、すべて問題なく機能していました。特に印象的だったのは、ホテルが提供していたドローンレンタルサービスです。これは本当に予想外の嬉しいサプライズでした。ケニアではドローンの持ち込みが禁止されているため、このサービスは旅行写真の撮影における大きな問題を解決してくれ、アフリカ旅行をより安心して楽しむことができました。
