"Great place for the money, very secluded and unique "

"I stayed at this property for 3day/2nights. The staff was amazing. They are some of the nicest kindest people you will meet. We felt safe and learned an enormous amount about the animals in the area. It was my bday and they made me a cake and sang, it was unforgettable. Memories for a lifetime. I wish I could have stayed longer. The reviews do not do this place justice. The accommodations were more than we expected and the game drives were exciting and thrilling. We loved every moment. (One tip: make sure to bring US or Euro, we were short to pay for small items like drinks) "

"Absolutely fabulous experience. The staff were all so incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were immaculate and our guide on our game drives was exceptional and very knowledgeble. The food was really tasty and there were lots of choices. I would definitely recommend this venue. "

"Our safari at Lorian was absolutely outstanding and epic! It was small and very personal, with amazing service and food. We were blown away having gourmet dinners and meals cooked personally for us while in the "back country", overlooking a river with hippos, and right in the safari country. Betty was our game driver and was amazing. She was constantly on the phone with other drivers tracking what animals were where. We saw a leopard with a kill up in a tree, a lioness take down a wildebeest, wildebeests crossing a river, several lion kills... on and on. She was friendly, fun, responsive, and simply wonderful. We can't say enough about the staff who served and partially prepared the meals for us: Justin and Anthony. They were a joy to get to know and be served by- truly one of the highlights of our trip. The whole staff was responsive to anything we wanted, invited our inputs, and went way beyond what we expected or was possible while in the safari wilderness. Even had Starlink internet connectivity in the dining area and group area! Simply wonderful. If we ever go back to the Maasai for another safari, we will be returning!"

"Moldy bed sheet, dirty light switches, broken bed net. Smelly bar area. When I reported the above issues, 3 groups of staff came and decided to offer me a bottle of free beer ( wine). I don’t drink beer ( wine). Then the manager knocked my room door twice to force me to accept it. I paid $NZ 1100 per room per night. This is the worst 5 star hotel I have ever experienced."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Mara Duma in a triple tent. The tent was right on the Talek River and we slept to the sounds of hippos grunting and frogs. The staff were exceptional - warm, friendly, kind and helpful - and went out of their way to make our stay amazing. Food was tasty and home cooked and they catered for my gluten allergy brilliantly - i didnt get contaminated. The only negative is that because the hotel is right next to the Talek gate to the Masai Mara and a very rutted road, the road started being noisy at about 4.30am with lorries bouncing over the potholes...though we were up at 5.30am or game drives anyway so it didnt matter. Would definitely stay here again. Be aware that the fastest road from Nairobi to thehotel goes via the Park - gates close at 7pm to enter the Park."

"Massively impacted by rain floods which made main road leading to and fro the lodge near to impossible to navigate on or over. Rivulets and erosion break offs. Staff dedicated and committed, food varied and 3-meal buffet style offered plenty of choices. Accommodation naturally rustic and 'hut-like' as one would expect and seek out on a Safari tour. Electricity generally generator-powered and solar-supported. Nice rustic setting overall and strong efforts made of daily outdoor maintenance being undertaken. "

"Incredible resort!!! I’ve now stayed here twice - once solo and once with my family. Both experiences were extraordinary! Fantastic service, beautiful property, amazing game drives (ask for Patrick!)"
