The grounds are expansive and beautiful, set in the quiet of Nairobi NP. There are lots of trees, plants, flowers and nice walking paths. It is a fair bit from the airport, longer than I had expected, but is worth the trip for a 2 to 3 day stay. Staff have been very attentive, friendly and helpful.

We love the Masai Lodge this is the second time we're visiting the facility. Staff is very friendly and helpful facility is nice and has excellent view on the Nairobi national Park. Rads to the hotel are bumpy and needs a lot of work

The lodge offers great scenic views over a narrow gorge and fast flowing river into the Nairobi National Park. The staff are generally helpful and very polite. The food is fine but the choice is quite limited. The rooms are clean but a little old and rough around the edges but certainly not run down. The grounds are wonderful, a large area with a lot of trees filled with wildlife - exotic butterflies, birds, rock hyrax’s and monkeys, all roaming free. It is a quiet and peaceful place as opposed to the noise and bustle of downtown. The downside is the distance from Nairobi, to Jomo Kenyatta airport is between one and one and a half hour’s drive depending on traffic in the city. The lodge does arrange transfers for around US$50.

The property was excellent, it had a great view while eating breakfast, and the area was big enough to go for a walk every evening accompanied by monkeys😊

This property is fabulous. Very clean and comfortable. The staff are very nice and go above and beyond. My stay there was nothing short of amazing. The only downside is the road to get there is very bad. But the hotel is beautiful.

the park has an unique environment and ambiance in the middle of the park, with room view over the park and beautiful surrounding. With a guide you can make a fantastic walk in the park, the glass bridge and when you are lucky you see still game! A place difficult to check out!!! Very friendly personnel!

Entspannter Startpunkt nach Ankunft
Entspannter Wochenend Aufenthalt im Nairobi National Park, nach der Landung am Flughafen in weniger als einer Stunde in der lodge und erst einmal entspannen. Preis Leistung passt, das Team ist freundlich und immer bemüht. Ideal für 2-3 Tage bevor es dann ins nahe und quirlige Nairobi geht.

Anreise vom Flughafen dauert einfach. Da sich die Lodge weit ab in der Natur befindet ist,ein Mietwagen empfehlenswert um mobil zu bleiben, da sich ein Taxi die Fahrt durch unbefestigte Straßen zwecks Abholung “ bezahlen “ lässt.

Schöne Lage - aber leider sonst nicht viel
nur kaltes Wasser in Dusche und Waschbecken; bestellter Flughafen Shuttle nach Nairobi Wilson war nicht da und musste urgiert werden; trotz mehrmaliger Information brachte uns der Fahrer zuerst fast bis Nairobi Kenyatta - wir erreichten unseren Flug von Nairobi Wilson nur knapp; verrechnet wurde der doppelte Preis für die Fahrt. Frühstück war okay; Lage ist sehr schön
