"The hot-air balloon captains of the Masai Mara see themselves more as sailors than pilots. Despite the fact that they are flying, they guide the balloonthrough the air, adjustingthe pulleys and controlling blasts of hot airlike sailors harnessing thewind withcanvas. The anticipation of takeoffis exhilarating: Guests arriveto an open field in the darkness and lie down on the grass tobehoisted up into the basket, withthe roar of the flames overhead. The ride itself is tranquil and relaxing, drifting through the sky, admiring the balloon's shadow on the golden ground as the sun rises. Rides can be booked in advance while staying at Angama Mara, one of Kenya’s most luxurious lodges."

"Guests spot gazelles and lions along the banks of the Mara River at this 50-tent resort, which was renovated in 2009. Accommodations have Masai colors on the bedspreads and beaded curtains from South Africa in the bathroom area. Meals at the boma, designed to resemble a Masai manyatta, or village, are served both indoors and out."

Exceptionally special place. The game drives were fantastic (ask for Joseph), the food was fresh and delicious (thanks dining staff and Moses), and the staff was incredible. They made the trip a once in a lifetime experience. Can’t recommend it enough; thanks to Dennis, Wilson, and the entire Mara team :)

We had the best family holiday at the Fairmont Mara. Huge thank you to the amazing team that looked after us. Caleb - thank you for being the best pen pal to my daughter, she thoroughly enjoyed the notes you left for her every day in our room and loved writing back to you! Vivian, Rose, Beth thank you for your amazing hospitality. ||I can’t recommend this hotel enough, the rooms are stunning, grounds are beautiful, food is plentiful and delicious and experience was the best we have ever had. ||We loved spending time in the pool during the day, checking out all the hippos at hippo corner, the balloon ride, safari (seeing 4 out of 5 of the big 5 repeatedly) and visiting the Masai village. A magical experience that we will never forget!

Great Experience at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club, a luxury tent resort. The resort is in a great location for game drives; very clean; friendly, helpful staff; excellent meals; nice pool; nice grounds for an afternoon stroll. Also a special thank you to our game driver, Alfred Mara. He was awesome! He was always prompt; courteous; able to find game and/or birds; was very knowledgeable and a special bonus was that he was excellent lighting for those of us wishing to take better photographs. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed here for only 2 nights and done 3 drives.|Check in was swift and less than 15 minutes drive frim the airstrip.|We had one of the deluxe rooms and Caleb was our room steward. The room was immaculate and caleb was very friendly and chatty and also got us a fan that we barely didn't need.||Our room was about 10 minutes walk from reception but we could have phoned a cart.|Our driver was Alfred and he was out this world. We seen everything we wanted to see and our drives were longer than expected. |The breakfast at the hippo lake we will never forget.|Alfred was very informative and easy to chat to.|The walk.with the rhinos was again unbelievable and totally unexpected. |Alfred your a star.|The food was excellent but we thought the dinner was a bit below par for a 5 star hotel. The lunch though was excellent and we only had 1 breakfast but that was also good.|All the staff were lovely and although we will probably never do another safari we would recommend this hotel.|

Honestly a great venue. Located in a private game park, you get a superior safari experience, with less cars around. The masai mara national park is much busier. The hotel food, location, and rooms are all excellent.

I usually do not write reviews but this one is for the outstanding service we received from the staff at FAIRMONT MARA and our safari guide Dominic.||As they say, Masai can smell a lion. Dominic had very keen eyes, lots of enthusiasm and outstanding knowledge of local flora and fauna. We did 12 safaris and one night safari (didn’t miss a single one over 6 days) and each one of them was outstanding and unique. Saw all the animals that could be seen||Rooms could have been more luxurious, possibly they are at other places, however they are adequate and well maintained, cleaned and serviced twice daily, hot water bottles are thoughtful and they did provide a table fan on request .||Overall a very memorable stay

Just stayed here earlier this month. Highly recommend. From the time you land at the dirt airstrip to the time you leave, you will be treated like royalty. Our Driver Henry was amazing and did a great job on our guided safari drives. The tents were very well equipped (no a/c or tv - just FYI). The hippos are just relaxing in the river that you can see from your tent. There are crocodiles in the river also. You can see the big 5 here. We saw lions every day. The food was delicious and the drinks were good too. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience: The tent accommodation was luxurious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped, the food was great and there was a variety to choose from a la carte. The atmosphere was very relational and welcoming.||Our safari guide and driver Dominic was kind and knowledgeable. He answered our questions and found the wildlife we were most interested in. Aside from the large animals he impressed us with his detailed knowledge of birds. We enjoyed a long morning out with Dominic, complete with breakfast under a tree in the park on the way to a Massai village. ||The first night the hippos created an interesting, but noisy soundscape. Good to bring wax earplugs!
