Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

Absolutely fantastic trip and a gem of a camp. Rooms, game drives and everything ! Staff were amazing, friendly and very well trained (Alex, Zia and John). The GM Nicolette was great and took a lot of time to chat with us. All requests were met. I was genuinely very Impressed with the level of quality, value and services offered with Elewana and have been officially converted to use for travels going forward ! Food was also great for being so far away in the bush. Hope to be back soon !

What a wonderful experience. The entire team is welcoming and friendly. Our room (Cabin 10) was an easy walk to the main lounge and dining area. The fire pit in the evening was a great touch. Benjamin was our safari guide and he was INCREDIBLE. Within the first 24 hours we saw all of the big 5. And throughout our trip he found a baby croc, amazing birds like Eagles, and lots of hippos - in addition to the Big 9. Benjamin was obviously respected at the camp and among other guides from other camps. He was friendly, serene, and knowledgeable. He made sure we were able to get amazing photos and made the request of 5 different people come together. Our cabin was comfortable, it was great to have the lounge area and porch. Although, honestly we weren't there much except to sleep really. The bed was comfortable and even with the evening chill, we were perfectly comfortable. The heated water bottles in the beds for a warm up were a great touch. The bathroom was spacious and while I wasn't brave enough to shower outside at night the bathtub was a luxurious option. The toiletries and drinking water were also great touches. We loved the laundry service, they even found a little figuring that was accidentally left in a pocket and traveled with us on behalf of our niece who would have been heartbroken if it was lost. There is a little shop that has some nice and reasonably priced gifts. The tea and biscuits/cookies sent to our room at 4:00am before our hot air balloon ride were a perfect start to the date. The food.- great choices. Lunch and dinner were 4 courses and the selections were varied, and delicious. The team easily accommodated our request for mock tails. And as part of our safari touring group, 3 of the 5 had birthdays within days of each other. The culinary team made a delicious gluten free, nut free cake to celebrate. It was awesome to see such care made to food allergies. The sundowner with the fire pit was such a treat, great view, food, and drinks. Impressive. The manager (I am so annoyed with myself I can't remember his name at the moment) was so kind, friendly, and warm. He made you feel like an honored and special guest. There are animals all around you, you hear them at night in the bushes, but we always felt safe. We are so appreciative of this experience. If we had to do anything different it would be to stay a little longer so we could enjoy more of the experience.

Abbiamo alloggiato tre notti in questo splendido lodge … Posizione strategica di fronte al Sand River dove gli animali vengono la sera a ripararsi e che puoi ammirare direttamente dal tavolo della cena o dalla propria tenda … Il cibo e’ molto curato e buono .. Lo staff gentile … Joel ci ha fatto da guida tutti i giorni dalla mattina alla sera facendoci vivere delle bellissime esperienze … non si e’ arreso un attimo , ha cercato sempre di farci vedere animali diversi e in diverse situazioni … lo consiglierei a tutti .. una bella persona davvero … di cui non ci dimenticheremo facilmente … Grazie a tutti

On our safari we stayed at 5 different Elewana properties. Although the location of this one is great it was not our favorite. Our room was hot during the night. The patio/porch which overlooked the river was so hot you couldn't sit out. The outdoor shower, which I would have loved to use was unusable because you were told not to use it at night because of the bugs and during the day it was so hot that you couldn't touch the handles on the faucets. We were in room 12. It was in a. separate part of the camp. I think I would have enjoyed staying in the main camp more. Food was good. Our guide, Charles seems dot be preoccupied.

Possibly the best & only camp I could've ever stayed at! My husband and I booked a safari for our 10th Wedding Anniversary, and our one night Maasai Mara stay was at Elewana Sand River. Absolutely mind blowing experience! Our only regret is that we didn't get a chance to spend more time here. The camp itself was located right next to the Sand River, with multiple animals lounging around the bank, great location. The rooms were right out of a Safari Dream! Clean, spacious, with a colonial interior, and oh, the attention to detail! Everything was meticulously thought out, right down to hot water bottles nestled in the bed in order to provide you with a warm and cosy night. Sublime! Oh and the food! Possibly the best meals I've had on this trip - delicious dinner and a great lunch. The staff was so polite, warm and welcoming. We had the best night's stay here, and would 100% recommend it to everyone else looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay at Maasai Mara. Thank you to the management for making this an unforgettable stay for us!

Our trip to sand river was unmatched, Joel is the best guide we had during our trip to Kenya - he went above and beyond to help us see some of the craziest sites while in Safari. Would highly highly recommend! Collins was also a brilliant help during our stay - we loved being catered to by him.
