Words cannot describe how wonderful our experience was here. Every time I tell people about it and our time here, I get happy tears in my eyes! My Husband and I visited for 5 nights in August to celebrate his 40th birthday. Everything about it is truly magical. The camp is located in a perfect position where you can see elephants from your room, watch hippos in the valley at lunchtime and if you are lucky enough like we were, see a pride of lions, including cubs on the hill located just behind the camp. We also saw giraffes from our room walking along the hill opposite along with many other animals. The place is just breathtaking. We did not want to leave, saying goodbye to everyone was emotional. All of the staff are the most hospitable, passionate and friendly group of people that we have had the pleasure of meeting, they make you feel so welcome all of the time. They are absolutely incredible. We did not want for anything and nothing was too much trouble. We were met by Gideon, who was our guide for the visit and he was so knowledgeable and such a nice person. When we arrived at the camp, we were greeted by so many members of staff, it was really special. Our personal host and waitress was Joy. She was an absolute joy and a delight, a truly exceptional lady. We cannot give her enough praise, she is a total credit to this place, such a nice person and an amazing host and waitress, who was there for every drink and meal. Every need was met, admittedly as it should be for a high end resort, but this is not always the case from previous experience. The business model here is spot on, everything works in harmony with every detail covered as you would expect. The rooms or not just a tent either. Yes there is canvas present but they are luxurious and with all the fixtures, fittings and amenities. It is a tent on steroids! It has an incredible balcony also. I have wanted to stay at this camp since I read about it opening and I was not disappointed. This is our first safari and as such we do not have anything to compare it to but I can't imagine anywhere else being able to deliver anything better. It has everything covered, every little detail thought about and met perfectly and seemless. The game drives were breathtaking and magical, we saw everything, thanks to Gideon and his determination and knowledge. You do not need a long lens when you stay here, we were so close to everything. The food is incredible and you never get the chance to be hungry. The head chef Peter is a wonderful chef and person. He came out at virtually every meal to talk to us and ask us about the food. Everybody was just so lovely to talk to. I could review this place for hours. We do not have a bad or negative word to say about it. I read lots of reviews before I visited and now I can understand why everyone seemed so in love with this place and the people here. We were made to feel so special. Mahali Mzuri and all the staff will hold a special place in our hearts forever, we love you. Thank you for making our visit so utterly incredible xxx

Mahali Mzuri was a magical stay for our first ever safari! All staff were friendly, professional and proactive, anticipating our needs perfectly. They even advised my partner to put on sunscreen (included by the pool) so she wouldn't burn by the lovely infinity pool! The camp is in a beautiful location on a ridge overlooking pods of hippos and herds of elephants. I would call the design of the camp "African chic". The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. There are real doors on the tents with a covered entrance and a large overhang to protect you from the rain leaving or returning from safari. The lounge area is comfortable and the included drinks are premium. The game drives are fantastic. I purposely chose the conservancy for the small numbers of humans and the ability to go off road to see the animals. Our guide Newton was incredible- spotting game from a great distance and getting us the best views. We'll never forget the experience! The food was consistently excellent and fresh with wonderful flavors from the chef's garden. The staff made my partner's birthday an amazing experience with special surprises like sundowner, cake, decorations and a special Swahili song and dance for which the whole staff gets involved. In addition to the amazing Newton we would also like to mention Marianna,Joy, David, Dennis and the Chef for their kindness and service. All the staff felt like family and we hope we can return soon!
