Review Of Mara River Safari Lodge

Lunch with lion

Rated 5.0 by Mohit Roongta . Family Traveller . Jul 01, 2024

Maria is an amazing experience if you want to spend a quality time with kid. It is a basically a zoo which has a stay facility. You can literally see animals from your balcony (yes, its very safe too. Rooms are very good, very neat and clean. Staff of maria is also very courteous. Largely the property can be accessed through stroller so you can carry it. Overall it was a really good experience. I recommend if people going bali with kids to really spend atleast a day over here. They have small water park, fun park and soon they will have aquarium.

Good stay, very nice ambience, lovely animals, excellent breakfast at tsavo restaurant

Unique stay

We stayed in swala deluxe room and we found it's one of the best room to stay. You just move the screen or go to balcony you can see zebras, wild beast, giraffe and rhinos. They roam here and there so 50% of the time you will see them for sure. The best part is the jungle hopper tour is included if you book any room so the rate is really worth it. Kids will surely enjoy the room even though the room is just average for staying. Recommend to stay here if you want an unique experience.

Thrilling experience

Nice stay. Great for a family trip. Not many options for food if you are staying overnight as not many restaurants nearby and you have to depend on in house restaurants only.

Amazing stay right in the middle of forest

Location of property is amazing. Property itself is very beautiful. Right from the moment you enter you feel you are in africa interacting with animals all around. Their night safari is something not to be missed. Restaurant food is very nice. Staff is helpful and always smiling. They offer few free shows that are worth watching. Overall loved the place.

Lovely location

Children would love it. Nice rooms. Great hospitality. Bit expensive but totally worth it if you are planning a trip with kids and are interested in safari.

Room was OK. View of animals was good from balconyview of animals from the balcony. Room service closes by 10 PM . A day trip would have been better instead of staying there . Buffett is not vegetation friendly . Staff was helpful though.

Spending time admidst wild life

Rated 4.0 by Ashwini . Couple Traveller . Oct 03, 2017

We could see zebra, yak, ostrich from the balcony of our room. We can view white lions while having food as the restaurant is just besides where the lions stay. The room is designed in the pattern of the safari and wild life which is totally a different experience.

An ok stay

Close proximity to animals even though they are in captivity was the highlight of stay. Jungle safari was good. Fire dance was also a good visual treat. But otherwise this resort fails in many ways. First to start with timings of programs. Water park opens at 10:30 and closes by 5. Varun show starts at 1 pm and close by 5. Checkin time is 2 pm and check out is 12. So unless if you stay two days you cannot catch much of this. However there is not much to offer to stay for two days. One day is more than enough. Rooms are old. Toilets are dilapidated. Switches are as if that it will fall off. Food for breakfast was a disappointment. Even dinner and lunch menu is same and limited. Overall, if you are looking for a feel of african safari at a place nearby instead of travel-ling to africa, this is a make shift option. But if you value your stay, comfort and culinary experience, skip the place.
