A well-stocked shop sells personal, photographic and souvenir items. The resident naturalist, who presents talks on the wildlife and ecology of the Maasai Mara, also conducts foot safaris, slide shows and Maasai cultural lectures. After game drives, the large, sparkling swimming pool invites you to cool relaxation. Night time floodlit viewing, from the comfort of chairs set on the wide, open veranda fronting the lounge and dining area, may reveal an elusive leopard across the silvery water.

7 Day Masai Safari Itinerary My wife and I travelled with your company for our honeymoon in June this year, and I wanted to thank-you for the fantastic holiday we had. I'm not even sure where to begin; our driver/guide was friendly, patient, polite and knowledgeable about the wildlife. He knew the animals habits and habitats; when to wait for them to return or to look for other fare. The lodges you took us to were brilliant, the views beautiful, the food delicious and service very helpful - much better than we had expected. We saw so many different animals, all the big five, and very close up on occasion, we have many great photographs to remember the holiday. We also went on the hot-air balloon across the Masi-mara, and although we didn't see as much as we'd hoped, to finish with the breakfast amongst the wildebeast and zebra was thoroughly enjoyable. The best thing was how relaxed we were, we had forgotten the day of the week half-way through. I don't think I have a bad thing to say about the whole trip. Although the safari is not cheap, I have to say it provides excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion. Thank-you very very much.
Travelled on The Out Of Africa Safari with a stay at The Cove Luxury Tree Houses. We had an amazing time on honeymoon, all the places were fantastic, we seemed to have each place we stayed to ourselves, it was perfect. Ol Seki is an incredible place, we have breakfast and lunch looking over wonderful views and had dinner on our balcony each night. The Treehouses were even better, 10 metres away from the beach, the staff were really attentive and the food, drink, and weather was perfect. We saw everything we wanted to on the safari except a leopard but I suppose we'll have to go back to find one!!! Thank you so much for organising the trip for us, there were no problems and in your words it was an 'amazing itinterary', we can't thank you enough. All the best, and when we go for the Gorilla Trekking we'll let you know.
