    “The Fairmont Mara Safari Club was an unforgettable experience, enhancing our 10th wedding anniversary. Hannah Gitau and Miriam Akhonya’s communication and attention to detail, along with the staff’s care, made our stay smooth. Charles and Eddie’s orientation was excellent. Our room had a welcome message from Jackson and team, who kept it stocked and clean. We had a stunning view of hippos from our room. Staff recognized us by name in the lobby, and David at the bar knew our drink orders. Rose, our server, was attentive, and other staff like Shiko, Kilonzo, and James contributed to our experience. Game drives with Alfred and Steve were highlights, spotting the Big Five and exceeding expectations. On our last day, Lamson and Steve made the drives exciting. William, Mary, Winny, and others made us feel like family. We cherished the boma dinners and surprise celebrations. We hope the staff are recognized for their work and interns can join the team. Thank you for an amazing experience. ”

    “We cannot say enough good things about this place! It was beautiful! Very clean and safe. The food was incredible and the staff was exceptional! Everyone was so friendly! They knew our names and made us feel so welcome. The tented lodges were so awesome. Everything was comfortable and every detail tended to. Our twice daily safari drives were the obvious highlight. We saw the Big 5 and sooo much more! Everything was perfect! We loved this place and its staff so much, we didn’t want to leave!”

    “Fantastic location and wonderful service. Not to mention that it’s a real oasis in the wilderness. The facilities are great and our Glam Tent was on the bend on the Mara where the Hippos hang out so we got to see them every day! A little noisy but wonderful. The facility is lovely and very well looked after and maintained. The staff was super attentive and Peter our Head Waiter was great and looked after us the whole trip. Our Guide and Driver David was exceptional and made the trip magical with all the animal spotting and leisurely time we were able to spend in what I would call an Animal Kingdom! Our family of 4 have the most amazing memories! We would return in a heartbeat!”

    “The stay was enchanting. Our room overlooked the Mara River, allowing us to watch the hippos bathe daily. The staff was invariably friendly and smiling. Rose, our waiter, was perpetually cheerful. Caleb, in housekeeping, delighted us with charming notes. Moseka, our safari guide, impressed us with his extensive knowledge and knack for finding incredible spots. Nancy, the hotel manager, made it a point to check on us daily, ensuring our satisfaction. In summary, the experience was exceptional, and I am eager to return. My gratitude to Fairmont for their exceptional service!”

    “Our stay was a unique experience that me and my partner will never forget. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Little details everywhere remind you that this is a luxury experience. The food was world-class. But the best thing is the location next to the Mara River. Hearing the hippos bellowing while in bed inside our tent and our game drives early in the morning with an incredibly knowledgeable and expert Masai driver are the kind of things that will stay with us forever.”

  • Fantastic experience. Thank you Fairmont!
