Travel reviews by Ms M. from USA

"The reservation for two beds not correct. The room assigned had a one bed which was not a great way to start the trip when very tired upon arrival. However, the hotel staff quickly found a twin bed room so all was fixed. Nevertheless, an irritant. I am rating the hotel room "good" based on the reservation mix-up.

The staff was quick to answer any and all questions. Given the fact this was a first trip to Kenya (and Africa), their patience was much appreciated.

The location seemed a little sketchy but it didn't matter since I wasn't interested in exploring the city. The hotel grounds were great and it was terrific to sit outside and enjoy the warmer weather."

"Words cannot describe what an absolutely lovely camp this is. The location takes your breath away. It was the perfect spot to start the safari.

The tents were lovely, comfortable with views from the porches that were just stellar. The Manager, Guides, and staff were so very welcoming and absolutely first rate as were all the delicious meals that were served.

There were no step stools for the trucks but one of the guides went out of his way to find a solution - a plastic milk crate did the trick!! The room was not set up for twin beds upon arrival but staff quickly made the change to twin beds.

Can't say enough good things about this camp!!"

"Wonderful - pure and simple.

Everything - the tents, lodge, guides, meals, and staff were exceptional."

"Again, as with the Kicheche Mara Camp, the tents, lodge, guides, staff and food were wonderful."

"The Emakoko was very nice and a great, refreshing respite on the last day. The rooms and meals were wonderful as was the staff.

However, the major complaint I had was not knowing what to expect at the Nairobi airport.

It was absolutely chaotic - through no fault of the driver - but rather the fact I had no idea what to expect other than being told it would take awhile to get through. That was an understatement - yowzer!"
