Simba & Oryx Nature Camp

The hotel staff were warm and charming. The receptionist George was really helpful throughout our stay. The food, oh the food was very fresh and perfectly done. The rooms were spacious, clean and well serviced. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely visit again.

We stayed two nights at this place.This hotel is situated at a stunning location bordering the Masai Mara and you will find harmless wild animals in front of rooms. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.The food is excellent.The staff is very friendly.Only recommendation for improvement is that they can develop the path ways leading to rooms from the main building.

The camped tents and the place is breath taking. You really feel like you are staying in the park as you can spot zeebras, girrafes and a masai guard said that he saw an elephant early in the morning not too far. The staff will go above and beyond in addressing your needs. Additionally, they offer a warm welcome and the food was excellent. They use vegetables grown from their garden. Everything was super clean.

I stayed in Simba Oryx by accident: my trip operator forgot to book me into my original hotel, and I was rebooked here at the last minute. But I was ultimately extremely happy about the mix-up! Simba Oryx is a FANTASTIC hotel! The staff welcomed me warmly as if I was always meant to stay here. They gave me an extremely large, comfortable and well-equipped room with three beds, a large bathroom, closet, and hot water shower. Simba Oryx is also one of the few lodges inside the Masai Mara park; it is not fenced so you often see zebras and wallabies inside the property. They are breathtaking. And don’t worry about carnivores: the Masai patrol the property 24/7 and escort you everywhere. The hotel also built in a red light system that deters predators from coming in. Your room door is all made of glass so you will see the beautiful sunset in the savannah planes! Food is also great as is the massage parlour (also seems to work round the clock!) I will be staying in Simba Oryx again upon returning to Kenya.

James, the manager stepped in after I had some difficulty with the tour operator finalising my 2 night booking. I was at least able to stay the one night. Having stayed in the budget accommodations in the area on a previous trip, this is a very reasonably priced mid range option. The location is amazing, it is literally on the border of the park, but with no fencing, the animals can wonder in and out of the camp site. There were zebra and giraffe around my tent. In addition the sound of the nearby village are muted and you fall asleep to the sounds of yipping hyenas. The tent itself is spacious with a large bathroom and dressing area and the glass facade allows an immersive experience. The consistent supply of hot water is a luxury when compared to some of the other camps. Meals are ample of good quality. The best part of the stay was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, special mention of James and Joel. I wish I had stayed longer
