    Hot shower can be a hit and miss sometimes, but this is not unusual across Kenya (even in Nairobi is not guaranteed). If you’re looking for luxurious lodge experience this place is not for you ;)

    Feels like home, incredible people, delicious food. You’ll literally feel like you’re coming back home after a day of game drive. Dolorence is an amazing host and outstanding at giving example of Masai women independence. Florence, Agnes, Lucky,…all of them are amazing.

    We felt incredibly welcomed! Everyone helped make our stay unforgettable. Dolorence is a wonderful person, looking to offer an amazing experience in a beautiful area. The resort is also really well located, close to the park. Last but not least, the food was really good :)

    The property is located just about 10mins away from the Talek gate, and is absolutely serene. It felt surreal to be away from everything, with nothing but animals in the vicinity, if you are lucky some zebras or giraffes may even turn up on the door. The property is eco-friendly and runs fully on solar power. The food they served was excellent and they ensure that any dietary restrictions are met. The hosts are truly humble and this was one of the most hospitable places I’ve stayed at. You’ll feel right at home, and everything including game drives will be arranged.

    It was an amazing experience to stay here. Such a lovely place it was. Also the food was really nice. We have seen zebra, giraffe in front of the house. Just relaxing with cup of coffee and watching wild animals live. 100% recommended. Chef and the lady who is hosting there, they both are really amazing people. Whatever we asked for service they are always ready to fulfill our requirements at any time.

    Nothing. Everything was perfect.

    It was one of the best experiences we had!! They have a chef that cooks every meal during the day. The food was delicious, and they packed our breakfast and lunch for the safari day. They have a private Land Cruiser to go to the safari, and they take care of everything. You don’t need to worry about anything, as they organize everything for you. The house is very comfortable, cozy and clean. We had a big bathroom, hot water and the bed was super comfortable. If we go back to Kenya, we will definitely go again!!!

    If you looking for authentic hustle-free experience look no more! Guys from Narasha were amazing. Transfer from Nairobi was very well organised, and we had very warm welcome with amazing dinner. They also had their driver guide Kindey who was very experienced and showed many special things. Of course we seen every possible animal. Breakfast and Lunch was packed for us each morning so we could enjoy it in wilderness. Accommodation was spotless with lovely bathroom big room and very comfy bed with moskito net. Manager Merci, chef Lucky, guide Kindy and our guard William made our safari trip magical and unforgettable.(We stayed for 3nights in mid September.)

    Shower pressure in the baths could have been better.

    Great hosts, an excellent chef who cooked tasty meals thrice a day from local ingredients, comfy rooms and an enjoyable communal area. Location was lovely, in a village setting where we could witness rural daily life - children going to/returning from schools, shepherds/herders tending to their animals, the toll of cow bells, many varieties of bird songs and so on. Being close to Mara and a conservancy, we heard lions roaring one night.

    There is no alternative arrangement while the power shuts down. The hot water service was poor, and the force of the water supply was low. There is no such facility for providing drinking water bottles per person in the room.

    The cook John, was a very cooperative person. I would like to appreciate his versatile cooking skills. Overall staff are co-operative, helpful.

    Water pressure was low, affecting the shower and toilet flush. The hot water was luke warm.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Steven the chef did a great job preparing our fresh meals. It was good to get to know some locals and not be in a compound. The wifi didn't work but the staff set up a hotspot for us to use.
