    Our stay at Maili Saba Camp was a perfect escape after days of travel. The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking, and the room itself was spacious, clean, and very well maintained. One of the highlights was the cozy bonfire in the evening – such a thoughtful and heartwarming touch that added to the relaxing atmosphere. A huge kudos to the staff, especially Milka, who provided exceptional service and ensured all our needs were met with genuine care and attention. We also indulged in a massage, which was exactly what we needed to unwind after all the traveling – it was truly rejuvenating. We were so impressed and relaxed that we even extended our stay for an extra night – we just didn’t want to leave! Maili Saba is a gem, and we left feeling refreshed and grateful. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a beautiful setting.

    The staff are some of the most welcoming people I have ever met. Lilian is incredibly kind and was very helpful throughout my entire stay. The room itself had a spectacular view of the crater and surroundings, and watching sunrise and sunset from the balcony was very enjoyable. The main lodge room is a work of art, and a great place to spend some time. This lodge is involved with a local non-profit organization that is doing really powerful work. If you are interested in safaris, Lilian arranged with a local, ethically-minded safari company that I highly recommend. Asante sana Lilian and James!

    Amazing location with very beautiful view. The Service was great, I was a bit sick and they offered the meals in our room and also brought me a Water boiler. Very calm place, nice food. The Camp is perfectly integrated into the nature. The organisation is also doing great social work, it feels good to be there and to support young Kenyans

    Nothing

    The property is beatifully located at the crater with beautiful views of the surrounding forest. The rooms are very cosy and the hot water pack for the beds at night makes the beds perfect for a good night. Hats off to the staff for taking care of all details, especially Lillian who makes us all feel right at home. The food is very delicious and well cooked.

    Everything was amazing. The staff was extremely hospitable and the dinner was simply amazing and also not very expensive. We even got a free room upgrade, because the camp wasn't so busy at that day and the manager helped us get to the viewpoint and brought our car back to the camp. Really great stay!!

    We like everything. We will come back and this time to spend more time for relaxing. The only thing we would mention is that the short game drive to lake Elementaita that we booked was a bit too costly, but this was a service aside the lodge.

    Incredible views from the terrasse. Our little dog was allowed to be with us and he was having a great time. All staff very professional and charming. Food excellent. We love the size of the room and decoration, simple and elegant at the same time. A place to relax and enjoy nature. I did a massage and was excellent, as well.

    There is not much, if anything, to not like. My only regret was that didn't get to stay longer.

    The food was great, the service was superb and the location is incredible. We were only booked for one night (Sept. 15/23) and arrived after dark, which was a real shame as we found out the next morning when we woke up to the incredible views from the balconies of our 'tents'! And even though we got there after the dinner sitting, the staff were so welcoming and they had kept the kitchen open for us and accommodated our request for a lighter meal than planned. The manager, James Ndung'u and his entire staff were friendly, helpful and genuinely happy to have us stay with them. The rooms/tents are second to none with all the conveniences of home. I strongly recommend staying at Maili Saba Camp - you will not regret it. Al DeMarco

    What a magical place! Wonderful setting, well-trained, attentive staff and delicious food. The place is run by the Ujima Foundation who focuses on enabling (training and supporting) orphaned youngsters to be able to lead a self-supporting life working in Kenya’s hospitality industry.
