Fairmont Mara Safari Club

We had an amazing 3 night stay at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club in late June. The Fairmont team is so friendly and we loved our vacation. Our driver/guides Peter and Gerard were fantastic. Because of their skills, we saw: lions, elephants, cape buffalo, hippos, a cheetah, giraffes, hyenas, jackals, many antelopes including waterbuck, Coke's hartebeest, bushbuck. On one of our morning drives, we saw a pride of lions feeding on a dead hippo they had taken down the night before. FYI, request a Sundowner on one of your afternoon drives. We enjoyed cocktails and snacks on the savannah, with the beautiful African sunset as our backdrop. Peter, Gerard and Dominick (who we had for one morning drive) were absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend requesting them as your drivers if possible. Make sure you go to the Rhino Conservatory so you can walk with the two rhinos Kofi Anan and Queen Elizabeth. The property is beautiful and well-maintained. Our tent near Hippo Corner on the Mara River had all the amenities of a high-end hotel room (note: extremely comfortable bed and excellent shower). At night we heard the hippos "talking" to each other outside our tent. The food was delicious. Mary in the restaurant took great care of us. She was always gracious and a true professional. Book at the Fairmont - you won't be disappointed!

This was the most memorable experience I’ve ever had because of the staff treating us like family and the impressing and beautiful environment.Special thanks to Mary, Shiko, Geoffery, Dennis, Wilson for the amazing safari, Jackson, Mwaniki, Macharia, Asuma, Karianjani, Ruth, and Ledama for a amazing stay.

The Fairmont Mara was a unique experience for my extended family. Beautiful setting on the Mara River (inhabited by hippos). The upscale tent was roomy and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, especially Rose who was our restaurant server. The safari at Massai Mara was outstanding. Our safari guide David was excellent and made the experience way better than expected. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

Excellent experience at the Fairmont Mara. We were well cared for from the moment we arrived. We had an unexpected delay on the day of arrival, and they saved lunch for us and made sure we could still make our game drive the first day. Rose took such great care of us at meal time. Our guide David was amazing; we had several close encounters with elephants, lions, giraffes, and other animals that were incredible. The room was lovely (seriously best shower ever) and well maintained by Ntaiyo; it was incredibly clean, especially when you consider we were staying in a tent! I was so impressed that all the staff went out of their way to learn our names, especially the kids’ names. Would happily stay there again and wish we could have been there longer!

Exceptional.Customer Experiences from the staff and the location is well positioned to access the Mara. Special Shout outs for the following staff members for making the stay meaningful; Dennis Karianjahi, William Nasha, Walter, Rose,Gerald.
