Keekorok Lodge

We had a group of 30 stay at this property for two nights. The charm is in every corner and the lodges are a fun change from a cookie-cutter hotel room. The food was fantastic at breakfast and dinner, although the staff didn't always understand us and would not acknowledge that. The Hippo Bar, while a bit stinky, is a unique feature to the property!

We have just spent 2 nights at this beautiful lodge as part of our Kenya Safari Tour with TUI. On arrival at Keekorok we were met by stunning Masai men who collected our luggage. The whole atmosphere is that of joy, happiness and kindness. Each and every member of staff had a smile and a “jambo”. Judy greeted us to the restaurant and taught us Kenyan pleasantries which was lovely. Mealtimes were fabulous with a good range of dishes, in a lovely set out restaurant. The omelettes at breakfast were wonderful as was the lady cooking them. We stayed in Lodge 1248 which had a comfy king sized bed as well as a single, and a fabulous balcony where you could sit at night and hear the hippos in there own pool, which has a viewing platform with a little bar, which was such a nice addition. Between the hours of 7pm and 6am you have to be escorted to and from your lodge, this is due to the magnificent hippos that wander into the lodge gardens to graze when the sun goes down. Seeing a gigantic hippopotamus metres away from your lodge was possibly one of the most beautiful scenes for me and something I shall never forget. Whilst sitting on the balcony having coffee last night we watched an enormous guy amble past us, not a care in the world, just amazing. The only disappointment for me is that we didn’t have longer. A beautifully managed lodge, with friendly happy staff, great food, comfy accommodation and awesome hippos! We said this trip would be a once in a lifetime, but now we are not convinced! Thank you Keekarok for an unforgettable stay 🥰

A beautiful lodge hotel nestled within the Masai Mara reserve which allows for the animals to roam freely around you, but it’s nothing to be scared of! There is a hippo hot spot just behind the trees and a bar where you can watch them play as you enjoy a drink. There are plenty of other facilities here too such as tennis courts and a swimming pool to enjoy some down time. The staff are extremely friendly and take time to get to know you by name which makes for a really personal experience. There isn’t anything they won’t do for you and ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The hotel offers the opportunity to go on a hot air balloon tour which is an incredible experience but I would definitely recommend booking this before you come as we booked once we arrived here and paid double compared to people who had booked in advance so something to consider! However, it was an unforgettable experience nonetheless and we were very grateful to have done it. We would absolutely come back here, the Masai Mara offers the opportunity to see all the big 5 AND MORE! A truly fantastic experience.

Beatiful lodge in the middle of Masai Mara. The rooms are confy and very nice, goegeous bar close by the hippo lake were you can drink with a beautiful view. Thanks to Judy, our metre at the restaurant! Professional and kind. The lodge is very strategical for safari

Keekorok is all an excellent place to base a Masai Mara safari. The staff goes above and beyond in large and small ways. George and Judy deserve special mention. It’s a short drive to all the wildlife you want to see. Book a local guide from Talek for the best game drives.
