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.

We stayed here in July for two nights and absolutely loved it! The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming—especially the woman who greeted us at dinner both nights (I wish I could remember her name!). 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 isn’t fenced, so animals do roam around at night, which only added to the magic of our stay. The rooms are a little dated, but it actually enhanced the rustic charm and fit perfectly with the vibe. The food was great, with plenty of variety to choose from. All in all, a fantastic experience that we’d happily recommend to anyone!

This lodge might be a bit old but it's doesn't affect overall experience. It is actually much better condition than I imagine prior the stay. Room is exceptionally clean and smells good during my stay thanks to Janet, the housekeeper! My mornings always light up with great service from Mark, Joanne and Abel. Abel makes the best spicy omelette in the world!! Also not to forget my favourite staff at this hotel, Gwendoline! Super sweet and cheerful girl although her task is just cooking the pasta! Will never forget their exceptional service extended during my stay. There's also a cute hippo bar where you'll see clan of hippo in the pool while having a drink. Will absolutely choose Keekorok again and again!
