Nice place to stay in Masai Mara. Very traditional place, mostly local staff with local knowledge I.e. our waiter lived in the local masai village. Traditional style lodges, basic but beautiful. Electricity is only on certain hours of the day/nigt, although hot water is always on. Decent food selection, although sometimes it wasn't the hottest. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Lovely large bar area around a fire place to relax in the evenings. Nice swimming pool but it was quite cold this time of year! Only 15 minutes or so drive from one of the Masai Mara gates, although you're technically within the park here anyway, it's more of a check point. Lots of wild animals can be seen around the lodges, which is why security will escort you to and from your room during darkness. Nice place to stay if you're wanting that authentic safari feel. You can visit a local masai tribe. Officially you can walk there, it's not too far but I'd recommend having a driver take you down as the path is not clear and there are wild animals around! You pay $20 per person to the village chief who will show you around, explain their culture etc. This money is apparently shared with local tribes towards eduction for children. One of the tribesmen then walked us back up to the lodge. I suggest wearing closed toed shoes to walk around the village and back to the lodge.
