Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.
"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!"
