Great experience right in the middle of the masai mara reserve. We stayed for two nights with my family,great booking experience by the guest relations officer madam Cynthia Kuya who made sure from the moment of booking ,to the travelling upto the check in time,we were on track. Our stay was made more memorable by the warm services of the staff especially Mr Milton and Mr Benson who made sure our infant children were well taken care of. Our game drives were also amazingly excellent ,with our game guide and driver Mr Joshua making sure we were amazed ,with his expertise of the mara eco system. I would highly recommend especially fpr families with children. Keep up the good work Keekorok💯

We stayed here in during New Year eve for two nights and absolutely loved it. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming - especially at the restaurant. Mr Manish The food Manager is great manager met us during each meal and made sure everything goes well with our stay at Muthu Keekorok Lodge Thanks for the great hospitality Mr Manish. We loved exploring the beautiful grounds, and the hippo bar was such a unique experience- having a drink while watching the hippos was unforgettable. The lodge might be a bit old but it doesn't affect overall experience, it is actually adds the heritage experience. Food was amazing, catered to all nationalities, European, african, Chinese, Indian and live Italian pasta counter.

This is undoubtedly the premier hotel in the Masai Mara. Its location directly within the park provides an unparalleled advantage for early morning game drives and truly immersive wildlife viewing. The Highlight: Exceptional Guiding The standout feature of my nine-day journey was my exceptional guide, John Lemurt. His tracking skills are extraordinary; he possesses the rare ability to spot lions in the pre-dawn light with his naked eye—often before others can even see them through binoculars. Thanks to his expertise, my trip was incredibly productive: • The Big Five: Successfully checked off the entire list. • Big Cat Sightings: An incredible 5 leopards, 9 cheetahs, and over 50 lions. • Diverse Wildlife: A rare rhino sighting, along with hundreds of elephants and buffalo. After 15 game drives on this single trip, I can confidently say this was the ultimate safari experience. I highly recommend Muthu Keekorok Lodge for its superior service and strongly suggest requesting John Lemurt as your guide for an unforgettable adventure. Exceptional Hospitality I also want to extend a special thank you to Joseph (Manager) and George (Restaurant Manager), as well as the wonderful restaurant staff, including Moses and Lawrence. They treated me with extreme kindness throughout my stay. On my final day, they even surprised me with a farewell cake, complete with singing and dancing—a gesture that made my departure truly special.

My wife's 4th visit to Keekorok and she comments: "I returned to Keekorok after an absence of several years but it was like coming home! There had been a few changes, all for the better. It was so lovely to meet the wonderful restaurant manager, Judy, again and we look upon her as a friend. The chefs were very talented, serving excellent food with a variety to suit all tastes. The room staff were almost invisible, they were so efficient, and we always returned to a clean and comfortable room. The restaurant and bar staff were friendly and attentive and had our early morning coffee ready for us as we approached the main building! We loved the atmosphere and the "Hakuna Matata" song to celebrate visitors' special occasions, and the guitarist in the evening was a very pleasant bonus. I am planning my next visit with my husband for April 2026 - can't wait!"
