Welcome to
Fairmont Mara Safari Club

Set in the northwestern corner of the Maasai Mara, at the foot of the Aitong Hills in the Olchoro Oirowua Conservancy, Fairmont Mara Safari Club is your gateway to the world’s most iconic safari destination. The reserve is home to each of the Big Five as well as the annual wildebeest migration – a natural spectacle to which you’ll have front row seats thanks to our expert guides and twice-daily game drives. Wildlife encounters are augmented by unforgettable bush dining experiences and Maasai cultural shows in our river-view lounge and bar.

Accommodation

Our 5-star hotel in the Maasai Mara offers 38 tented rooms decorated in an elegant blend of traditional Maasai and heritage safari styles. Each one is a sanctuary complete with a canopied four-poster bed, an en-suite bathroom with solar-heated water, and a private deck overlooking the Mara River. This is the setting for some of your most precious memories, from morning moments watching hippos and crocodiles while sipping a fragrant, full-bodied coffee to languid afternoons spent relaxing with a good book. Some of our deluxe tents also have an atmospheric outdoor shower.

Luxurious Glamping

Driving to the Fairmont Mara Safai Club was intimidating because of the rough roads, but once inside the gates it was an oasis of luxury! The service, the facilities and especially the glamorous tents made this adventure worth the rough ride. And of course, the safaris enriched my life to see God's handiwork on display. All in all... outstanding!

Nice stay

This was a repeat trip , I am actually not able to tell the difference between the last visit and this one , but been a repeat guest I expected better/improved services since the last time I visited was years back . But we don’t have complains . It’s just human nature to expect improvement. We expected some few guards around the hotel to walk guest to their rooms at night . Some guest come from quiet places and considering it’s park we are meant to be scared walking alone along the walkways , it’s just nice to ask if one needed to be escorted to their cottages . Thank you .

Great experience, but could use a few tweaks

First, the people are AMAZING. Everyone in every position was warm, welcoming and very helpful. Shout out especially to Hannah, who arranged for us to attend a local church service, Mary, the server, Patience, the massage therapist, the bartenders (whose names I cannot recall) and Mike and Vivian our guides and drivers. Food and drink was good/very good and plentiful. Room/tent was good, but could be vastly improved in 4 aspects: 1. A ceiling fan would be VERY helpful. On hot evenings, you almost have to leave the tent flaps open to make it cool enough, which affects privacy and ability to sleep with noises, lights, etc.; 2. Water pressure. Yes, I know this is a tent and supposed to be rustic, but taking showers in trickling water is not my favorite; 3. A privacy door/flap would be a nice addition; and 4. my wife would disagree, but it'd be nice to have wifi in the rooms, and not just in the lobby. Overall, though, I could write a 4 page review of the incredible animals we saw, things we witnessed, experiences we shared with the local Maasai, etc. Wonderful trip!
