  This is truly a private luxury jet of safari lodges. My family experience was like continuous disbelief—every detail so effortless and refined that you keep questioning whether it’s truly real. The luxury doesn’t announce itself; it gently reminds you every second that you’ve stepped into something beyond ordinary life. The food was another level of culinary fantasy, very item was grown from their backyard organic garden, huge plus for is was halal. Our night sleep was surrounded by the sounds of wild animals feels like being cradled between elegance and the raw pulse of nature, where comfort and wilderness coexist without tension. As distant calls and rustling echo through the night, they don’t disturb your rest—they deepen it, reminding you that you are safe, still, and profoundly alive. The staff represents pure hospitality of Kenya, they did not disappoint, they chaperone my kids who were very young. I would love to be back and I am working on it.

  We stayed at Pearl Mara for two nights at the end of September to celebrate a milestone birthday, and it was such a special experience. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel incredibly welcome with local music and warm smiles. The lodge feels intimate and exclusive — beautifully designed, spotless, and wonderfully peaceful. Check-in was smooth, and we appreciated meeting the manager, chef, and driver straight away to go through our preferences. Every member of the team was kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. A special mention to Maria, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our suite was spacious and elegant, with 24-hour hot water and in-room dining. We were amazed at how clean it was — not a single insect inside, which is remarkable considering the wild surroundings. The private heated pool was a lovely feature, though the water could have been a bit clearer. The game drives were comfortable, with new vehicles stocked with snacks and drinks. Our guide Saito was friendly and ensured we saw some beautiful animals, but at times the drives felt a bit rushed to return to the lodge, and he didn’t seem to have much knowledge of where to find the key animals. With a little more focus and insight, the experience could have been even more rewarding. The bush breakfast, property tour, and garden breakfast with Maasai Mara dancers were true highlights — beautifully organised and full of local charm. The food throughout was very good, especially the soups, and we loved that most ingredients were locally grown or sourced. A touch more local flavour would make it outstanding. We also enjoyed an in-room massage, which was relaxing and well done, though it felt a little rushed toward the end. Overall, Pearl Mara offers a warm, personal, and memorable stay. With a little extra polish in guiding and dining, it could easily be one of the best lodges in the region. We left feeling relaxed, celebrated, and grateful — a truly wonderful experience.

  Pearl Mara provided such an exceptional experience! Gorgeous place with stunning views overlooking the Masai Mara. Lodging: The tents are nice, comfortable size. The bathroom is also nice, during my morning showers, I can hear the birds chirping, it was like a rainforest oasis. The snacks in the room, especially the brownies, are great. The villas are stunning, spacious, very nicely decorated, and also have great views that you can even see while in the personal jacuzzi. Comfortable beds for a good night's rest. Food: The farm to table full course meals were delicious, full of flavor, chef Stephen is very talented. Their mocktails were very refreshing. Safari: I was able to see everything I wanted, especially 3 Cheetahs! Dickson my game drive tour guide was awesome, he elevated my safari experience! Taught me about the animals and has a great eye for spotting them too. My first safari experience was exceptional from beginning to end, thanks to the attentiveness of the staff. The staff’s welcome greeting was very warm and lively! They made my stay such a wonderful experience! Transportation: they booked my flight from Nairobi to Masai Mara park, which I appreciated. The plane ride was a nice way to see animals from bird's-eye view. The ambiance, decor, and layout of this entire place was very well designed. I celebrated my birthday here, they made it an unforgettable experience! I truly appreciate every staff I interacted with, Everyone was very friendly and kind, it was nice to meet the owner as well! I also appreciated the Masai guards, very friendly and I felt protected, thankyou Steven and John. Maria and Polleen, big thankyou to them, they are gems!! Making my stay and organizing my itinerary there an absolute dream. A trip of a lifetime!!!

  had a wonderful stay at Pearl Mara. The food was excellent, with fresh produce from their own farm. The game drives were great, and the staff was incredibly warm and helpful. I really appreciated the fully equipped gym with a personal trainer available — rare for safari lodges. Their locally made honey is also a must-try! The only downside is the bumpy road to the game drive area, but it’s manageable. If they add a spa with a pool, sauna, and steam, it would be a perfect wellness retreat. Highly recommended!
