Safari

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Jul 2019
Long bumpy drive in but well worth it, right on the river in the middle of the Masai Mara and back into the up market tenting experience. Staff were great and really made our last few days on safari something to remember. Showed real concern when my wife had to miss a couple of meals through sickness

Benjamin made me feel extremely uncomfortable - he asked for my phone number and email, said he will “miss” me, and said he would take me to his village; as well as only addressing me when my family walked into dinner and lunch etc., looking me up and down. I am a 17 year old girl travelling with my family so there is no room for confusion on my age, as I am clearly the child in the family and can not be mistaken for an adult. He approached my family multiple times saying that if we don’t come back or leave a good review on trip advisor that he will lose his job. I believe that these things are extremely unprofessional and I felt I had to avoid him during my stay which was unpleasant.

Dear Lanah,

Thanks for bringing this very unprofessional behavior to our attention!

This is gross and very contrary to our expectations, and to express our disapproval on such habits the culprit will be summoned and appropriate disciplinary action taken on him.

This regrettable and thus express our profuse apology, hoping won't be a detriment to your repeat visit as promised.

We are otherwise grateful to your parents for having chosen to stay at our property and truly feel honored by the gesture.
Brad, Melina and Zara my profuse apology on this matter and rest assured this is not our norm and on the contrary promise you our best personalized & professional services ever!

Thanks again and wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Our second visit and one of our favourites. We had room No 4. No views but pleasant and spotlessly clean. Lovely balcony with lounger. Hot water bottles were provided at night. Bathroom spacious with everything you need. Lovely welcome on arrival. The Ashnil don't offer the best food choices, however it is tasty and made to a high standard whatever you choose and the friendliness of the staff make up for that. No cakes were offered out this trip but you still get a great vibe here. The Ashnil really do go out of there way to make your stay one not to forget. There is a sitting area overlooking the river and the hippos, wonderful. Evening time a fire is built where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink and we did. We love it here. Location in the park is great. You do have to consider the length of time it takes to arrive there. Quite a way from the main high way and on a not so great road. Before we checked into the Ashnil we stopped for lunch at a different lodge taking a game drive just after and forfeiting the evening game drive. A decision that suited both ourselves and the driver. Clothes were washed and returned promptly. If you have medical issues request a room near the reception as it a large lodge and you can be walking a good distance to and from rooms. The shop is large with good supply of gifts. Wi Fi hit and miss.

Room tip: Read review to consider choice if you have any medical issues

On our arrival we were greeted beautifully, we felt so special, the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Made it so easy to settle in.
Loved our Glamping Tents they had had all the necessities.
The camp site is amazing located on a bend of the Mara River so you could see Hippos playing all the time.
Food & service was very good.
We loved our time spent at Ashnil.
