Fairmont Mara Safari Club

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.

We stayed here for only 2 nights and done 3 drives. Check in was swift and less than 15 minutes drive frim the airstrip. We had one of the deluxe rooms and Caleb was our room steward. The room was immaculate and caleb was very friendly and chatty and also got us a fan that we barely didn't need. Our room was about 10 minutes walk from reception but we could have phoned a cart. Our driver was Alfred and he was out this world. We seen everything we wanted to see and our drives were longer than expected. The breakfast at the hippo lake we will never forget. Alfred was very informative and easy to chat to. The walk.with the rhinos was again unbelievable and totally unexpected. Alfred your a star. The food was excellent but we thought the dinner was a bit below par for a 5 star hotel. The lunch though was excellent and we only had 1 breakfast but that was also good. All the staff were lovely and although we will probably never do another safari we would recommend this hotel.

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
