Just back from Safari across Kenya and spent 3 nights at Keekorok Lodge. 1stly the team here were great, very friendly and welcoming. My wife is GF and Lactose intolerant, the chefs and restaurant staff were great in ensuring they catered for her allergies and she never went hungry, with some dished made especially for her. We stayed in one of the detached lodges in the garden area and whilst it may not be the 1st in immaculate decoration it certainly served its purpose. comfortable and clean bedding, roll round mosquito net, great shower, powerful and HOT, so zero complaints about the room, we were just in it to sleep and shower, have stayed in worse hotel rooms in the UK, especially the shower! Only issue is you cant walk about freely between 19:00-06:00, well unless you want to come face to face with a Hippo (Not really an issue). One of the highlights of this hotel has to be the Hippo bar. It overlooks the Hippo pool with about 100 Hippos of all ages in it. Can create an interesting aroma if you are down wind, but an absolute privilege to be sat with a Beer whiling away an hour watching the Hippos interact with each other, oh and pass wind a lot ! The location of this hotel is its best feature, in the Masi Mara and on our Safari trips from the hotel we encountered many animals including Cheetahs, Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Zebra (100s) Buffalo, Wildebeest, Giraffes, etc etc etc, a great location and great experience. Thanks to all the staff at the Lodge.

This was our 2nd visit to Keekorok, We must say keekorok has changed for better. Food is far better than many places we visited in Kenya , Rooms were nice & clean but need renovation. Food Manager Manish was helpful to meet our elderly parents food requests. Hippo bar was the highlight of this place

Keekorok was the ideal place to stay during our 3 day safari. Each day we enjoyed morning and afternoon game drives with our knowledgeable guide and driver Benson. Our lodge was always clean and welcoming (thanks to Janet). Food was great. We enjoyed the Hippo Bar and also making use of the pool. Would thoroughly recommend.

I would like to take a moment to appreciate the wonderful hospitality we experienced at Keekorok Lodge during our recent 4-day visit to the Masai Mara with my father. Our stay was truly memorable, thanks to the warm and attentive staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The buffet meals served three times a day deserve a special mention—we were always well-fed before and after our safaris. A heartfelt thanks to Mr. Manish Kumar for his warm welcome and for accommodating our special requests. He thoughtfully arranged Mogos for us, and later even packed delicious Aloo Parathas for our bush lunch, which we enjoyed thoroughly in the middle of the savannah. The packed meals were neatly prepared, tidy, and easy to carry, making the safari experience all the more enjoyable. The overall hospitality of the staff, led by Mr. Manish, made our stay extremely comfortable. We left Keekorok Lodge completely satisfied and would highly recommend it, especially to fellow Indian travelers, for the following reasons: 1. Availability of Indian meals 2. Convenient location inside the Masai Mara National Reserve 3. Excellent professionalism and warm hospitality 4. 5 minutes drive to the keekorok airstrip. Keekorok Lodge truly made our trip special, and we are grateful for their outstanding service.

Comfortable room. Very good food (veggie curries were great!) and service from all staff was outstanding. The hippo pool is an amazing feature of this hotel and it was very exciting to wake up at 4am and see an enormous hippo grazing right outside our room. Great base for our game drives, located inside the Masai Mara reserve. Really pleased to have stayed at Keekorok.
