Keekorok Lodge

Stayed 2 nights as a family of 6. Most of the stay was fantastic. Rooms were excellent. Game drives fantastic - Joseph was so knowledgeable and attentive. Hippo pool provides loads of animal activity. Night visits from hippos and zebra exciting. Only downside was quality and variety of food. While we were there there was a large group staying who appeared to have very specific dietary requirements. They were given their own time slot which resulted in compressed time for everyone else. Also it resulted in my opinion in a vegetarian emphasis in the variety of food available.

We stayed at Keekorok Lodge as part of our 7 day safari through Kenia and I must say that we liked all the other lodges we stayed at better. The route to the Masai Mara Park is terrible, our car broke down because it shook too much. On arrival we were checked in swiftly and brought to our two rooms. There are no interconnecting doors so that’s not really handy if you have young children. We missed lunch but the kitchen prepared some nice dishes for us. The rooms are nice with a fridge what we always appreciate. What we didn’t like at all was the food. It is such average all-inclusive food that you can’t believe it. Even my children didn’t like it. There was no African dish to be found. The desserts don’t taste to what they are supposed to do and the fruits are not ripe. I still find it strange that water is not provided for dinner but that’s everywhere. The pool is nice even though there are not many towels provided. What we really liked was the Hippobar, great view of a pool full with Hippo’s and on the surrounding fields Zebra’s, Water Buffalos and many different antelopes. The staff is really helpful and the Wi-Fi works all the time.

The second time we were staying in the lodge, and allof us were very satisfied with hotel and staff. Many thanks to all of them! Our safari guide Lepapa made us to lose a lot of adrenalin during the interesting safari games. Restarant staff prepared very pleasant surprise for our last dinner there. It was a great pleasure to spend our vacations in the hotel.

The lodge strategically located .Rooms are rather small even with our family room booking ( and payment). The lodge understanding of family room is ordinary room then they push a portable one bed for two grown kids to sleep on making sleeping most uncomforatable . Food nothing special . We visted same lodge few years ago but see nothing renewed or upgraded.

The lodge feels very authentic (Because it is!) Hippo pool and Elephant deck: Very nice to have these great viewing areas available Safari We found the most amazing wildlife included close up views of the 'Big 5'. Highly recommended. Food: Fresh and tasty, I am a non vegetarian and special as there was always plenty of choice. The catering manager even approached me personally one evening to ask my opinion. .
