Spirit of the Masai Mara

We have been on many holidays in the Mara area and we can honestly say this was one of our favourite holidays. The Spirit of the Masai Mara was magical. The Spirit team were so friendly and professional, there was nothing they would not do for you and you can tell they are very passionate and enjoyed their jobs and are cared for by management. The room is beautifully decorated and had a wonderful sitting room. The standalone bathtub with an incredible view of the hills was a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless and had a mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathrobes were so soft and luxurious. The bedding was clean and of a high quality. There were eco-friendly local toiletries available and a hair dryer. The main lounge area, dining room and bar was fabulous. Plenty of seating areas to relax and wind down after a game drive. The bar was well stocked and plenty of variety of drinks available at reasonable prices. There are plenty of games, books and children's toys to keep little ones occupied and older children too! The food was sensational with many of the dishes inspired by the food grown in the Spirit garden. The chef was amazing and so talented. There was also a children's menu which was great for my older teenager who is a little fussy. There was a zip line for the children, archery and plenty of opportunities to learn some skills from the Masai like hut building, and many more activities. The swimming pool was so clean and set into the hill with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. The safari guides were highly trained and skilled experts in looking for animals, birdlife and the local flora and fauna. They had ponchos for the cold mornings which were so cosy and kept us very warm. The game drives were interesting and the guides worked very hard to make sure we saw plenty of wildlife. You can also under the guidance of the safari guides have a go at driving the safari vehicle. Overall, everything was catered for and so well thought of for every guest. It was luxury, but with a wonderful community feel you don't experience at other lodges. Our family have left with special memories and we will definitely visit again. Thank you to all the amazing team out there.

Spirit of the Masai Mara is not just a lodge but an experience! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we can’t wait to be back next year. Their activities are beyond what any lodge offers; golf, behind the wheel experience, epic sundowners, walking in the conservancy and so much more. They have board and card games at the lodge including a small library with views. One of the best things for me in the lodge is the bathtub that overlooks the conservancy - imagine watching giraffes as you take a bath and sip on some bubbly The staff are helpful, funny, make some bomb cocktails and coffee! Have no second thoughts and book with Spirit of the Masai Mara - you will not regret it!

The food was absolutely delicious! And fresh, they have their own organic vegetable garden so the salads are yuuuuummmmyyyy! More specific for me...the chapatis are to die for! The views of the hills in Siana Conservancy from the room is breath taking ....the staff is very friendly & family friendly place too with lots of board games and swimming pool.
