Sarova Mara Solo Stay
I had an amazing stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp which is just inside the Sekenani Gate. The service from the moment I entered Reception to the time I left was simply superb. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with toiletries and furnishings and the restaurant provided a wide range of quality food at each meal. Highly recommended and one I definitely plan to revisit

BEWARE OF $75 Per Person Per Game Drive EXTRA.
Good hotel with friendly staff. Unfortunately as we checked out and reached the jeep to take us to the airport (extra $45 pp) the receptionist came running claiming EXTRA payment of $75 pp per game drive. This was not stated anywhere nor were we informed at any point. This was sad end to an otherwise good experience.

Adventurous location with excellent facilities.
The camp is located inside the national park. You can hear animals howling in the night. Gives you a feeling as if you are among the animals. But with security. The camp itself looks beautiful.

A 5-Star Camp!
A friend and I enjoyed a wonderful 3 days at the Sarova Mara. Its more of a resort than a game camp. The service, food, setting was all great. Our tent was very comfortable. We had a great safari guide, named Ken, who managed to get us up close and personal(?!) with everything we wanted to see. A champagne breakfast in the garden on our last day there was the icing on the cake. The one thing I would caution future travellers against doing is the cultural excursion to the Masai village. It was not pleasant, and the pressure to buy their trinkets was unbearable.
