Posted on Kate Williams Exceptional from start to finish. The hotel arranged our transfer from Nairobi to the lodge and the return which were punctual and with friendly drivers. The accommodation was incredible, staff were welcoming and attentive and all food was included (and very tasty, even tailoring to dietary requests) meaning we didn’t have to think about a single thing other than enjoying our time there. The hotel arranged our game trips with Nixon who was a great guide and, being from the Masai, was very knowledge in the area. Would recommend to anyone looking for an intimate and tailored trip to the Masai.Posted on Doug McDaniel My wife and I had an amazing time at Kobe Mara. We stayed for 3 days and everything was great from start to finish. Dan was our safari guide and he was awesome—super knowledgeable and easygoing, and he really made the experience special for us. The staff took great care of us the whole time, and the food was honestly a highlight—every meal was different and really good. Eating with views of the Mara while giraffes and zebras walked by was unreal. Definitely recommend Kobe Mara if you’re planning a safari. Would 100% go back.Posted on Killian Well, where do I even begin… A safari… and travel in general… is all about managing expectations, but Kobe Mara completely exceeded ours. It’s genuinely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The staff were outstanding, the food was exceptional, and the grounds were simply breathtaking… complete with giraffes, zebras, and even the occasional hyena wandering by. Watching wildlife right from our bed or balcony was something really special. We drove from Nairobi in a 4x4, which I’d highly recommend- it was an adventure in itself, spotting wildlife before we’d even started our first official game drive with Dan the next day. Breakfast was another highlight: a full Irish alongside pancakes, fresh fruit, mango juice, and great coffee… couldn’t ask for more. 10/10 experience. Huge thanks to Sammy and the entire team for making it so memorable. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️Posted on martin pariseau Excellent service de toute l'équipe. Nous étions dans la Kobe House, c'est très luxueux et tout est très propre, décoré avec goût. Les vues sont tout simplement époustoufflantes avec des coucher de soleil sur la savance magnifique. Les animaux (zèbres, giraffes, topis etc) sont très nombreux et viennent s'abreuver non loin de la Kobe House, ce qui est exceptionnel. La maison est très grande. Ensuite, que dire du staff :) Tous ont été merveilleux du début à la fin, avec une mention spéciale pour Joshua, notre Butler/Manager. Il a répondu a chacun de nos besoins, tout en restant discret et super serviable. Sammy, le General Manager, s'est aussi assuré que tout était parfait pour nous et a coordonné le tout, de notre arrivé, à la game drive jusqu'au départ. Notre game drive avec Dan a été super également :) Aussi, que dire de la nourriture, bravo au chef, chacun des repas était succulent, nous avons tous adoré (nous étions en famille). Finalement, le reste du staff était aussi plus qu'à la hauteur. Merci encore à toute l'équipe, il s'agit d'un établissement relativement nouveau, qui deviendra vite très très populaire et difficile à réserver, alors ne manquez pas votre chance :) Martin PariseauPosted on Theresa Drude Ein ganz besonderer Ort. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt an den wir immer gerne zurück denken werden. Die Zelte sind super ausgestattet und der Ausblick ist unglaublich. Nachts kann man die echte Wildnis hören. Das gesamte Team ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Absolute Empfehlung!Posted on Dimitri Spezziga Le Kobe Mara est un endroit exceptionnel pour faire un safari Je leurs avais envoyé un mail pour avoir des informations, ils m’ont répondu assez rapidement pour m’expliquer le déroulement du séjour Dès notre arrivé au Kobe, l’accueil du personnel a été incroyable avec des personnes souriantes et très gentils. Notre guide Dan a été merveilleux, il est d’une très grande gentillesse puis grâce à lui nous avoir pu voir beaucoup de lions Dan le manager était à l’écoute de notre moindre demande Le cadre de cet endroit est magnifique avec la visite de girafe et de zebre près de notre tente Je ne peux que recommander cet endroit unique avec des personnes aux petits soins et des repas délicieux fait par le chef Encore merci pour cet accueilPosted on Ghayda Mazhar ..Staff and food is wondweful But there are no A/c and NO FANS! WE asked for a fan he said we have only two for 7 rooms I think this is unacceptable in such area.. there is no slight breeze aroundPosted on Andrea Zigrossi We spent three days at Kobe Mara, and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. We went on safari with a very experienced guide named Alex, who made every moment unforgettable. All the staff working at the camp are incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. A special mention goes to Jonathan and Seragat, who truly stood out for their care and warmth. The camp manager, Sammy, is extremely cordial and always available, making us feel at home from the very first moment. And last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious! every meal was a real pleasure!! An unforgettable experience that we will carry with us forever. Hope to be back soonPosted on Patricia Tiplea I was absolutely amazed by Kobe Mara! The location, the accommodation, the staff, the service, the attention to details...everything was amazing!the food is delicious and they pay so much attention to the dietary requirements! The staff is so kind and sweet and they make sure you have everything! And the location is the best: 5 min from the entrance gate to the Mara, but also in the middle of wildlife already! Will definitely come back again!Posted on Sadhu Yogimanandas “An amazing place. A truly wild experience, and everyone from the manager to the staff was helpful, supportive, and friendly. They treated us with humanity and a warm, family-like feeling. The game drive was also a lot of fun.”Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
