The Fairmont has beautiful tents overlooking a river with hippos which is great. The lodge is kitsch safari. However the service is great and the food is excellent. The big issue with this hotel is the terrible location. You are nowhere near the migration or the park - it takes at least an hour on terrible roads to get there.... more

We are going to have the most amazing memories of our honeymoon having spent 3 nights in the Fairmont Mara Safari Club at the beginning of our holiday. The "tents" are gorgeously decorated and have THE most comfortable beds! The only thing I would say is that there isn't much privacy for the loo!! But I guess there's more privacy... more

We stayed at Mara Safari Club for two nights and to be honest could have stayed there the whole week. Everything about the place from the location to the tent to the staff was amazing. Each tent is amazing and faces the mara river which contains hippos and crocs. The hippos grunting in the night was all part of the... more

Although this Lodge is far from Masai Mara you still can see as many animals as in Mara with much less people. However, you can go to the Mara and come back the same day. The Lodge is very very nice. People are friendly and the location can not be better....The river that runs through the property is beautiful and... more

I just returned from my two week honeymoon in Kenya. Of the two weeks there the two nights and three days we spent at the Mara Safari Club were by far the highlight of the trip. The tent was amazing and staff were outstanding. Wilson was an amaizing safari guide and Festus, our waiter was great. more

Wow what an amazing property and experience. The level of service at the Fairmont Safari Club is truly a step above, including the added touch of the staff knowing you by name – this includes the dining room serving staff, the front desk, and of course our personal safari driver. When we first booked, we were concerned 5 nights might... more

We spend 5 days at the Mara Safari Club (MSC) at the end of August, beginning of September of 2009. I traveled with my 71 year old mother. We each had a single Queen tent (#5 & #6). Location The Fairmont MSC is located about 30 miles north of the Masai Mara National Park in a so called conservation area.... more

I can not say anything negative at all about this resort. Absolutely the best safari I've ever been on in my life. Not just the safari drives, but the staff are absolutely FANTASTIC! We had Wilson for our driver, Vincent was our waiter, and William was our tent attendent. I can only say that this is an excellent resort for... more

This place is incredible. I was very surprised by how the tents feel like real rooms and at the same time fit in perfectly in to the Mara. We were upgraded to a room with an outdoor show overlooking one of two hippo shots. It was quite an experience to hear hippos bellowing at night and then again while getting... more
