Your base for African adventure, the Fairmont Mara Safari Club lies at the foot of the Aitong Hills in the northwest Masai Mara in Kenya. This unique camp, positioned along the Mara River and surrounded by cultivated gardens, features luxurious furnished safari tents - with flush toilets, hot water and showers - whose game-viewing verandas offers splendid views. By day you'll be swept away on guided game drives, and at night you'll savor activities that include wildlife presentations, traditional dancing, and moments beneath an endless, star-filled sky.

Absolutely loved our stay. - Service is amazing, all the staff is SUPER nice. Moses who works the bar is great - We loved the game drives, and they're all inclusive; twice a day - Rooms are a bit tight, and have no AC (air conditioning). We went during the winter season, so didn't really mind it, but I can totally imagine the rooms getting quite hot in summer months - The spread on the buffet and set meals is great, very good variety - There's a hippo pod that lives right next to the hotel, and there's a hippo viewing point

This was a trip of a lifetime. We so enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Fairmont Safari club setting. Food was excellent accommodations so comfortable. We would go on Safari drives and our guide. Dominic was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and got us so many up close experiences with animals. Would highly recommend him.

The Fairmont Mara Safari Club was an unforgettable experience, enhancing our 10th wedding anniversary. Hannah Gitau and Miriam Akhonya’s communication and attention to detail, along with the staff’s care, made our stay smooth. Charles and Eddie’s orientation was excellent. Our room had a welcome message from Jackson and team, who kept it stocked and clean. We had a stunning view of hippos from our room. Staff recognized us by name in the lobby, and David at the bar knew our drink orders. Rose, our server, was attentive, and other staff like Shiko, Kilonzo, and James contributed to our experience. Game drives with Alfred and Steve were highlights, spotting the Big Five and exceeding expectations. On our last day, Lamson and Steve made the drives exciting. William, Mary, Winny, and others made us feel like family. We cherished the boma dinners and surprise celebrations. We hope the staff are recognized for their work and interns can join the team. Thank you for an amazing experience.

We spent our honeymoon at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club and it was one of the best trips of our lives. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Everyone we met was warm and attentive, and it set the tone for a wonderful stay. The real highlight was our guide, Moseka. He was knowledgeable, funny, and had an amazing eye for spotting animals. Each drive felt exciting and different, and he always managed to find the perfect spot for viewing. Beyond that, he made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun, like we were out exploring with a friend. We stayed four nights and went on morning and afternoon game drives every day. Thanks to Moseka, each one felt unique and unforgettable. We also did the sunrise hot air balloon ride, which gave us incredible views of the Mara that we’ll never forget. Back at camp, our tent overlooked the Mara River, and little touches from the staff made every day feel special. It was the perfect balance of adventure and comfort. The Fairmont helped make our honeymoon unforgettable, and we’re especially grateful to Moseka for making the safaris so memorable. We’d recommend this experience to anyone, and if you get Moseka as your guide, you’re in for something truly special.
