"I was nervous after reading reviews and hearing there are only two giraffe breakfast spots daily, but I was quickly reassured upon arrival. A kind staff member explained we could still privately feed the giraffes, from the same spot as breakfast, for much less cost and with the same 1:1 experience. The Tsavo restaurant had delicious food and fantastic service, especially from Ayu (worked Dec 13-14). She treated us like friends, making our stay extra special. The buffet breakfast featured adorable animal-themed foods. We stayed in a Twiga room with a breathtaking view—better than my trip to Africa! The bed was huge, with an extra one for our daughter, and tossing carrots to wildebeests from our balcony was a highlight. Some reviews mentioned bugs, but we saw just one fly and a harmless bug—less than in my house during Australian summers. I had low expectations for the park itself but was blown away. The kids’ splash park, with multiple slides and pools, was almost empty, and even adults enjoyed the slides. The animal experiences were incredible; we fed and patted elephants and meerkats, and the park was so quiet it felt exclusive. The Lion Restaurant was so good the lions roar a lot and watch you eat haha. All the staff were lovely, despite some reviews calling them rude—I only saw staff being kind unless provoked by rude guests. My skeptical husband was won over, and we can’t recommend Mara River highly enough. Thank you for unforgettable memories!"

"It was amazing to stay at thewakanda. Located in a quiet place with a magnificent rice padi field setting that will restore your sense of peace and calm. The restaurant is great as well, and don't sleep on the activities run by the resort, especially the cycling trip to a nearby waterfall."

"Enjoyed my stay overall. The staffs are super friendly and always respond quickly. The staffs in the restaurant performed magic at dinner one night which was very entertaining. There are also some engineers onsite to fix different issues. The room was spacious. The light control in the bed is a thoughtful design. The only issue I had was the internet connection. Some places do not have wifi signal or not strong enough to keep my phone connected (e.g. the balcony and bathroom in my room). The internet in the whole resort could be off for some time each day (ranging from a few minutes to several hours during my stay). But this is not a big problem if you don’t want to be online all the time. "

"Staff are amazing "

"This is THE BEST hotel I've ever stayed at. I've traveled the world and stayed at beautiful hotels - but this one takes the cake. If your a health minded individual - this place is for you. There's great wave out the front for surfers, daily yoga, a large gym with daily classes offered. Rooms are clean. Staff are incredible. Food is great. Can't wait to go back. "

"We loved our 3 bedroom villa with a private pool. Very nice, clean and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Our floating breakfast experience was amazing! The staff were pleasant and provided great customer service. The staff will take you to your villa with a golf cart- very cool! I will definitely stay here again! Great place!"

"Amazing property. Staff is amazing. Only thing is that the walls between rooms are thin so you can hear the neighbors (either late at night or early in the morning). "

"The staff was very cordial and prompt in responding to needs and requests of the guests. The approach road to the property was terrible, making to and fro trips tiresome. "

"Loved our stay. The hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. We were able to organise anything we wanted through WhatsApp (tennis, massage, laundry, hotel transfers) and they were always available to help. Dining options were excellent. The cost was more expensive than out and about we felt good value against eating out at home. There was a good range of cuisines to try and always tasty. The pools are good sized and we were fortunate to stay during a quiet time so had them to ourselves more often than not. The gym is usable but more of a 'hotel fitness centre' than full gym."
