This safari was truly a dream come true... though thinking about it, I really don't believe that I have ever dreamt of something as beautiful as Ngerende. This was my 4th trip to the Masai Mara and having stayed at the standard hotels, we decided to try out a boutique hotel for a change. Though it is on the more... More

We had an amazing Masai guide (Lang) how had at great knowledge about the wildlife, our butler Evens did everything too please us and made a lot of surprises. All the staff was amassing and extremely kind. I also had a wonderful massage,... More

A beautiful and luxurious retreat in the middle of the Mara away from everything except wildlife creatures and mother nature. Nestled atop a river that is home to a group of hippos emitting the occasional grunt lie a set of villas that surpass expectations.

Attention to detail is superb, then there is the butler service and the plate service as opposed to the buffet. The game drives with our driver Steve were amazing and he has intricate knowledge of...

1st class service was our experience at Ngerende Island Lodge. It always got me curious to want to establish why they called it an Island. For the simple fact that the luxurious lodge lies between the convergence of the Mara and Talek rivers. From the onset of our inquiry to the time we landed at the lodge, everything was super!...

From the warm welcome to the affectionate send off, our whole stay there was absolutely splendid. We were taken aback by the welcome as the whole staff was lined up to receive and greet us on arrival. The... More

I stayed in this luxurious place in September, and every element was perfect, from the festive greeting until the checkout. The rooms are spacious and beautiful, with a fireplace and, rare in the Mara, a real bathtub in which you can hear the grunts of hippos in the river at night. The game drives were lovely, and our driver, Matthew,... More
