A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience at Fairmont Safari Club, Maasai Mara – Absolute Perfection! From the moment we arrived at Fairmont Safari Club, we were welcomed like family, and our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Room 35 was the perfect vantage point, offering breathtaking views right from our luxurious tent. We spent our days watching hippos lounging and “singing” in the river, while the Mara River itself played host to crocodiles, baboons, impalas, and even local cattle wandering along its banks—a true African wildlife spectacle. The team at Fairmont Safari Club is exceptional—attentive, warm, and dedicated to making your stay unforgettable. From Caleb, who left fun notes and anecdotes while keeping our tent spotless, to Peter, who guided us through every dining experience with genuine care, their hospitality made us feel completely at home. A three-night, four-day stay is the perfect amount of time to experience the Big Five, and with a driver like Alfred, you’re in for an unparalleled safari. His deep knowledge, sharp instincts, and local connections not only ensured incredible wildlife sightings but also gave us the rare opportunity to meet the Maasai people and witness the sole two white rhinos in the Mara—a once-in-a-lifetime encounter! A huge shoutout to Brian, who liaised with us all the way from London to Kenya, ensuring a seamless experience, including organizing an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the Mara—truly magical! Fairmont Safari Club gets a well-deserved 5/5. From the stunning location to the incredible team, every moment was crafted to perfection. We can’t wait to return. Asante Sana! 🇰🇪✨

This was our first time on Safari and we really enjoyed our experience at Fairmont Mara Safari Club. The staff were excellent and so friendly. From Peter who looked after us at meal times to David and Nicholas who took us out on our drives each day and of course Adan who took care of our house. We went out on 2 drives each day and they did not disappoint, getting up close to so many wonderful creatures. We enjoyed the food and the service was great. In the evenings there was a cosy fire to sit by and enjoy a night cap. Overall a wonderful experience which was arranged for us by 2 by 2 Holidays.

Our honeymoon at Fairmont Mara Safari Club was the best and most memorable experience of our lives! Every moment was exceptional, thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel so at home. Special thanks to Lenkoko, who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best safari adventure; to Mary and Gerald, whose warm hospitality and attention to detail made our stay unique and delightful; and to Adan, who made us feel like we had a home away from home. We highly recommend participating in as many experiences as possible and definitely not missing a safari. We were lucky enough to see 4 out of the Big 5, but also encountered so many more amazing animals. The hot air balloon experience is also a must! While it’s the most commercial, you can’t beat the breathtaking views of the plains from the balloon, and the bush breakfast included is a real "pinch me" moment. Gerald and his team are also expert mixologists—don’t miss trying their locally inspired cocktails, especially the dawa! I also had a massage during my stay which I couldn't recommend more. In terms of facilities, they are superb. The tent design makes it feel more authentic , but it's a very luxurious stay with all the amenities and services you'd expect to see at a Fairmont. We couldn’t be more grateful to the entire team and have already recommended this magical experience to all our friends and family. We can’t wait to return someday! Patricia & Seb

My husband and I had a wonderful experience: The tent accommodation was luxurious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped, the food was great and there was a variety to choose from a la carte. The atmosphere was very relational and welcoming. Our safari guide and driver Dominic was kind and knowledgeable. He answered our questions and found the wildlife we were most interested in. Aside from the large animals he impressed us with his detailed knowledge of birds. We enjoyed a long morning out with Dominic, complete with breakfast under a tree in the park on the way to a Massai village. The first night the hippos created an interesting, but noisy soundscape. Good to bring wax earplugs!

What a spectacular way to experience Africa next to a river with wild animals! Loved the glam camping! Really comfortable bed and “room”. We loved hearing the hippos outside!! The food was wonderful and bar service great! So lovely to be in our tent all cozy listening to the outdoors....

We truly had a once in a lifetime experience at the Fairmont Mara. The staff is amazing,the attention to detail. I loved the coffee wake-up, the warm water bottles at night and the towels after game drives. Ntaiya was a pleasure and kept our room so clean. The massages by Patience are a must, she is amazing and has the best view in town. The game drives with Tony were amazing. The food was very good. The Masai dances at dinner were fantastic. Everything was wonderful!

What an incredible and magical place. We are still without words to describe our experience. It was moving and inspiring.

What an incredible and magical place. We are still without words to describe our experience. It was moving and inspiring. The Fairmont staff really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and special. I highly recommend a massage by Patience while overlooking the hippos. The real highlight of the trip was the serene drives spent in the Mara with our guide, Mike. He is a remarkable source of experience and knowledge and he went above and beyond to ensure each game drive was special. He has a unique talent of predicting what the animals might do next, which gave us truly unique experiences like seeing the elusive leopard descend from a tree and prowl across the fields looking for a new place to rest. He also brought a great personality and sense of humor to our hours of jeep drives. We know we have to return again someday.

We stayed at the Fairmont Mara as part of a trip of a lifetime and had a wonderful incredible experience. I don't even know where to begin. The service at this resort was second to none. We met our driver/s Mike/Zach when we arrived at the hotel as there were on a drive and were our driver/s throughout the trip, they were amazing, funny, warm, kind and knew where to take us they made the drives so enjoyable knowing the ins and outs of the land and where to find all the animals we were searching for. We saw everything we had hoped to see and so much more. Cheetahs, lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras etc to name just a few. we had no idea how close we would get to these animals. We then checked in to the hotel by Brian (very nice man) and got settled, we met Mary who took care of us during our stay at meal times and she was incredibly kind and warm. She really noticed all the little things that made your stay feel personal. Steve who is the GM at the property was again amazing and tentative to make sure you have everything you need during your stay. Adan did our turn downs and made sure we were very comfortable in our tent. David were our bartender during our stay and made sure we had the coldest beer . It truly was like being around a group of friends sharing stories and laughs at the bar. We've never experienced such personal customer service like at the Fairmont Mara. All the staff go out of there way to say (Jambo) HELLO, Biggest smiles greet you . On the last night we came from the afternoon drive for drinks and our meal, Mary our host for meals said can you come with me, we were greeted with a private deck dinner, our own chef, Mary as our server and a nice man tending a fire. This was a thank you for our stay, never know such care and friendly people. We were overwelmed leaving this place, everyone felt like family and the trip seemed too short. I wouldn't blink in recommending this truly stunning location.

First time in Kenya. What a start. Fantastic location. Fantastic safari club. Food top quality. Staff very attentive. The luxury tents were nothing short of luxury. Everything you need in a tent. Green lush gardens to walk around. Not forgetting the hippos. Grazing and occasionally making noise! Our tent was...

First time in Kenya. What a start. Fantastic location. Fantastic safari club. Food top quality. Staff very attentive. The luxury tents were nothing short of luxury. Everything you need in a tent. Green lush gardens to walk around. Not forgetting the hippos. Grazing and occasionally making noise! Our tent was just outside where the hippos would come and relax. Lovely to sit and watch them whilst having a cup of tea. Thankyou Fairmont for our first experience of Kenya and Maasai Mara.
