Voyager Beach Resort

Voyager is certainly a very beautiful place. Three pools, 5 blocks of rooms and lots of garden area for just relaxing with a good book. The food is superb with lots of choice on offer. But the jewels in the crown are the staff. Nothing too much trouble, friendly, happy and knowledgeable.   I have to specifically mention Samuel the pool attendant at the sports pool who is fabulous with the kids, gracious and thoughtful, hard working and a nice chap. Why he doesn't have a contract is beyond me!  Also, we met a lovely young trainee called Ibrahim. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we wanted. Checking back with us that we were happy.  A polite, hard working and pleasant young man who has clearly listened to his mentor.  You will not regret visiting Voyager, there is a reason its so popular!  Maria and Dave McLeod-Colley 2323

The place is a serene place with beautiful views and people. By far the Swahili resort was my favorite.

The also have beautiful swimming pool which I spent most of my time on and my favorite was the fun swimming pool because it creates atmosphere for socializing and getting to know your neighbors. My second best was the relaxing pool. Great view then followed by the sports Pool great for swim work outs and laps.

The evening shows were nice.

The hospitality was top notch.

What an amazing place. Good for families...

This is definitely paradise, and I mean it  from the moment you get to the gate that the embarkation begins.
This is a ship, and so does everything inside it resemble it.
The staff are super nice,welcoming, and friendly. we had a very good time here.
The food is amazing and surprisingly affordable.
Their services are topnotch and out of this world.
I got to enjoy the view of the ocean. It's scenic and beautiful.  The reef, the far away ferries and boats, the breeze and white sandy beaches, and more...
Voyager is definitely a go-to place. It has  several amenities, a clinic, a salon, and a gift shop, among others.
It is family-friendly, good for events, and work/team building.
It's easily accessible and open to the public, too.
I'd definitely recommend and visit again.

The hotel was not far from the airport and it took less than ten minutes to be checked-in in my room, Mark you , we had arrived like 20 guests at the same time! My room was by the adult pool and the ocean. It was super quiet, and I had the best views throughout the day.  Their room service was swift, and I did not need to go to the restaurant for all meals. They had staff everywhere ready to serve you, I do not remember walking for 10 metres without running into a staff in the resort.
Dominic was very friendly by the pool and attentive to me and other guests. Mr 'dimples', Edgar and 'Mama Africa' made our evenings and I was always looking forward to the after dinner entertainment.
The fun pool had amazing team building games, and it was fun playing competitive guests like me😆. They had many kid-friendly games and activities as well meals, that's a big plus for me.

The place was so beautiful and lovely  ,with beach views and lounge areas to chill and relax, I was lost of choices on where to relax since I had so many beautiful options 😌.

Overall,  i had an amazing time !

My family and I arrived at the hotel and had booked 4 rooms. They assigned us to 2 of rooms that had very strong odor of paint. The rooms that we had assigned were next to each other because we were travelling with several children in our group and therefore needed to be close by. When this issue was brought up to the manager on duty, he was unwilling to switch us to rooms that were next to each other. He said that if we wanted to be in rooms next to each other, the only ones available were in a different building and we would need to pay an upgrade fee or his other suggestion was for us to call our travel agent and have them pay for the upgrade!!! To me this was quite an unbelievable way of resolving a problem which was clearly the responsibility of the hotel. The next morning I spoke to the Operations Manager Sammy and explained to him how unpleasant our check in experience was. He was very apologetic and assured us that he would do what it took to make things right. Within 20 minutes, Sammy had got rooms ready for us to move to and they were all in a newer building from the one we had spent the first night in. Throughout our stay, Sammy would come and check on us in the restaurant as we were dining to make sure that we were having a pleasant stay. I must say that Sammy knows how to resolve and follow up with his guests. Voyager is very lucky to have such an asset leading that team. I look forward to going back to the Voyager, thanks to Sammy's outstanding service recovery.

The camp has a private airstrip where private charter can be arranged.

Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp

This is an absolute must stay camp when you are on Safari. This is a small cozy camp that also has a private airstrip directly in front should you need to come and go a little faster than by car. At night time the lake is full of hippos crocodiles and other wildlife. You can actually hear the hippos from your bed and it is amazing. The restaurant has a small menu that changes each day and is delicious. Should you choose to go on the nature walk you will not be disappointed. Stephen our Messiah guide knew everything there was to know. Not only can he explain the footprints, droppings and plants but he can also tell you the scientific names. Essentially there was nothing he didn't seem to know and our nature walk was excellent. It's magical at night when you listen to the hippos in the nearby lake. The staff leaves nothing to be desired You will be exceptionally happy here. This is a small resort and provides an experience that you will not be able to receive at a much larger one. If there was one resort to stay at I would highly recommend you try this camp. The wildlife and the close proximity are second to none

Awesome place to stay for 1-3 nights. You can watch the hippos in the dam or the crocodiles. Highly recommend a safari in Tsavo West NP as well, especially at night time!
Food was great, service was awesome, only bushbabies were noisy at night 😂

We had a very nice stay in this camp. Staff were kind and attentive, bringing my wife hot water and tea when she fell ill. The tent was roomy and attractive, and I loved the location on a lake. My afternoon bush safari with Joseph was great; he was a wealth of information, and I saw crocodiles, hippos, troops of elephants and baboons, and some lovely birds. The food, while not outstanding, was surprisingly good.

While I do not hesitate to recommend this place, there are two things that made our stay less than perfect. First, the service, while well-intended, was disorganized at times. Second, the lodging is set on a well manicured lawn, a choice that feels jarring in the midst of a drought-stricken region.

Those two minor quibbles aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Good, but we were spoiled having just spent two nights at Elerai Camp, which was amazing.

A nice experience but not quite our cup of tea. They've gone to great effort to grow grass everywhere and are constantly watering it. Seems wasteful and gives the place the feel of a country club. Much prefer the more natural look.

Tents and bathrooms nice, comfortable bed and linens. Unfortunately, there is no headboard and leaning against the tent doesn't work, so not comfortable for anything but sleeping. Lovely comfortable chairs on your own little porch. Your neighbors are quite close so you can hear them talking.

Food was okay.

Staff tried, but there were a number of miscommunications, and they seemed a little less enthusiastic. Both when we arrived and left it took a while for someone to come open the gate and he certainly was not in a hurry... Even our guide was annoyed, which we hadn't seen before.

The pluses are hippos!; we woke up at 5 am to one 15' in front of our tent munching grass! And, monkeys abound! Beautiful birds everywhere. Also, don't skip the one hour bush walk. It's a little loop very nearby but we saw a crocodile, hippos, elephants, baboons, and tons of birds.

WiFi only in front area; reception, dining room, bar, not in tents and there was no/minimal cell service. I'm sure you could get WiFi if you were in a tent closer to the restaurant.

honestly one of the most enjoyable stays we ever had. beautiful surroundings, well maintained and managed, good food, outstandingly friendly and polite service.
special asante sana to Stephen, it was awesome to be guided around by such a great guy and a true Massai. BR Florian

Great Rift Valley Lodge & Golf Resort

Great Rift Valley Lodge offers a picturesque retreat with stunning views of the valley and the golf course. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, providing a serene atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The golfing facilities are excellent, and the lodge's setting is truly breathtaking. However, there's room for improvement in terms of room maintenance and variety in dining options. With minor enhancements, Great Rift Valley Lodge has the potential to be an exceptional getaway. Overall, a solid four-star stay with the promise of an even better experience with some refinements.

Where should I start? November came too early and somehow GRVL made it worth it. We were here for a whole week workshop and its been so amazing. The swimming pool is a class apart. The zen of this place is off the charts- its about 7000 feet above sea level, so get your allergy meds because you will feel a pinch but there is also a pharmacy nearby. Its also has wildlife (herbivores only) in it like peacocks, antelope, and others. It was so exciting. The rooms too are spacious.

If you are someone doing safeguarding for a team, this place checks all your security checks. And dear lord, we were fed beyond words. And the staff is so nice. I am definitely coming back, mungu akipenda!

We stayed in a chalet. The Chalets are operated by individual owners and the guests can pay and enjoy some of the amenities. However, I would have preferred like when booking a chalet you get a pay for an additional package that allows you to swim etc instead of you have a place and have to keep on paying for small stuff separately. Like someone to clean dishes is not the same that cooks😆,pay, want to swim? How many, pay, want your kid to get to pay in a room full of toys, pay, want tennis, pay, golf pay, I mean it can be combined or a package put out for guests to choose and pay once.
Otherwise, the view from the balcony was spectacular!!
The pool is not heated, so it was enjoyed best when it was sunny and not windy.

Beautifully kept, serene and relaxing.

We stayed here for 2 nights as a large family in a 3 bedroom villa.  The houses and grounds are really well planned & maintained with high quality furniture and fittings.  The layout means each home feels private and quiet, but it's still just a short walk to the facilities.

We had fantastic views from the balcony towards the lake and enjoyed just relaxing there watching the bird life.  We used it as a base for visiting Hell's Gate park, the geothermal spa and Elsamere to the south of the lake (all recommended).

We self catered and found the kitchen well equipped with electric hob, microwave, fridge freezer and a good selection of pots, pans, crockery and cutlery.

I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I usually do random destination visits,no plans no nothing,just getting into the car and driving.
So we found ourselves here,not the first time though,but this visit was quite different and we enjoyed more.
Arrived around the lunch our so we chose to do buffet,there are sooooo so so many varieties of delicious foods to choose,great salads,soups, desserts,and assorted fruits,all very yummy.
In terms of service,their team is very trained hence very professional,
After lunch we went took a walk around.they have a large and well maintained golf field if you are a fan.
Fresh air from all round,we did some games,and took some good photos,did some yoga,.
In short we really enjoyed our visit.
5 ⭐ it is!

Samburu Intrepids Tented Camp

Always nice and warm in Samburu, just as the staff at the Intrepids Tented Camp. Nice food, OK choice for vegetarians but the vegan selection can be better. All over, a great experience !

Ambiance top-notch, food Chef Mbela did awesome. Especially loved the sorbet (palette cleanser), red snapper and basmati rice, Victor made the experience awesome, the entire team led by Kevin was great, Steve and Menye Ndito made it colorful, Hussein was the cherry. Everyone was awesome !
Definitely recommending this place.

We came for 2 nights and had the most wonderful time with the Intrepids Team!!
Highly recommended stuff and Camp here in Samburu.
Everybody was very helpful and friendly with us! They took care all of our wishes!
The Food was 11/10 stars quality and such a big (huge) portions... both lunch and dinner had 7 courses!
Cleo the Artist was the most helpful and funniest guy in the wild ;) 💣
Steve had very interesting presentations, well worked, he did a lot of effort to it👌🏽
Rooms are very clean and comfortable, the bed matrasses are in perfect conditions, we had excellent nights to sleep!!
Our Guide -Jelly- was very well informed and had an endless knowledge about the nature and he was very patient with us, he made our Safari trips to a never-to-forget-experience....
We wish the very best and lots of love for the workers 💛🧡

Beautifully located camp nearby a river.
Disclaimer : if you are not used to sleeping with the sound of water, your brain will  red some adjusting !

This was the first camp during our honeymoon and everything was superb. Super nice staff, very good services, my husband and I had an extremely relaxing massage (a must if you want to relax after a long day), the tent is truly comfortable and clean and the views are amazing. Literally the only thing I’d point out as an improvement is the food is delicious and fresh but it’s not the most sophisticated in terms of presentation.

Very warmly recommend this camp if you visit Kenya !

Best customer service, food and great staff attitude. Going back again soon.

Mara Elatia Camp

Pésimo servicio. No recomendable.
Please skip this place if possible.
Absolutely not recommended.
Plenty of other options

My wife and I visited the Mara Elatia for our Honeymoon and our experience at the Mara Elatia Camp was beyond phenomenal! From the moment we walked in they received us with delicious mocktails and some refreshing lemon scented hand towels that honestly are way nicer than I can describe.

The service felt super genuine and personal. The staff was amazing. Our waiter Collins was extremely polite, serviceable and was probably the best waiter I’ve ever had. The bartender Titus was super nice, attentive and always remembered what became my favorite cocktail (elephant milk).

We had a beautiful private“bush” dinner right outside the camp organized by the staff and our tour guides at Ceilo Adventures which I also recommend (and will also give them a 10/10 review). It was an indescribable experience that we will forever hold in our memory and will be eternally grateful for.

The food was amazing. Super clean delicious food that always filled us up but didn’t make us feel bloated and gave us all the energy we needed to hit the safari!  The taste amazing. Breakfast amazing. Lunch was also amazing and they even packed our lunch on our safari day. The dinner was probably the highlight of all the meals with incredible options and presentation.

Our room (or tent) exceeded all of our expectations. It’s beautiful and cozy tent with a super comfortable bed that had heated blankets! Those blankets make a huge difference cause it gets very cold at night. We had a beautiful bathroom with a great shower that honestly made me want to stay in it every time.

Since all wild animals roam free you need a security to escort from the room and back. That’s were Ronald came in. This guy knows his thing he was able to track animals in the dark to keep us safe. We literally ran into a giraffe one night right by our room and buffaloes another night. Buffaloes are dangerous, but I never felt in danger with Ronald there!

I’ve never written a review this long, but I hope this motivates people to visit this amazing place and have an experience of a lifetime because it’s 100% worth it!!

The safety of your clients should be the first in your list (could cost a Life) and if you do wrong, you should take full responsability. Shame on you.

Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

Some parts of the resort were excellent such as the food and staff.  But not having electricity or hot water during a portion of each day was frustrating to say the least.  (They turn the electricity off during parts of the day and at midnight which also turns off the hot water).  Usually this happens when most of the guests are off on safari but if you stay back on an afternoon you will lose electricity.  The water in the sinks just trickle out and it is difficult, at times, to get enough water to flush toilets.

The property is run down in some areas such as the pool (a lot of spots in the pool) and the cushions in the pool seating were torn at places.

Several of our group also had an ant infestation in their rooms with ants all over their luggage (that was on furniture) which was frustrating.

The staff are top notch and the food and drinks were excellent.  Early morning coffee and tea delivery were wonderful.

The evening lectures were also very informative and worth attending.

The gift shop has a wide array of items that were priced very reasonably.

Reports from guests who used the spa was very favorable.

The location is great and only a few minutes away from the airport.  Wildlife is surrounding the resort and you will frequently see it all around you.

They need to update the property and turn to alternative energy (perhaps solar?) so that the electricity and hot water outages are resolved.

Had tents beautifully situated on the river banks with elephants, hippos, baboons, etc. as neighbours. The service level was really great, as was the location. However, the noise from the airstrip nearby was a daily annoyance.
The tents were noticeably worn and should probably be renovated/renewed soon.

Highly recommended ! Our experience at Mara Intrepids far exceeded our expectations. We can't thank the manager Mr.Gregory enough for ensuring our safety was of the highest priority (we had an issue with our transfer out of Mara, and he promptly arranged for an alternative). The staff was very welcoming and courteous, and took care of every small detail for a comfortable stay. Meals and safari game drive was included in the package. The food was fantastic , with muticourse meals thrice a day, that caters to vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Special appreciation for our guide Mr. Paul who was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. He ensured we had an amazing experience with our game drive, and we saw every animal from our checklist.

We had a magical time here. Our guide, Paul, was amazing and the staff was so attentive and professional. The accomodations were impressive for a safari camp. The Mara is brimming with must-see wildlife and as-seen-on-tv locations.

We had the most incredible stay at Mara Intrepids. The camp exceeded all expectations and our room was stunning over looking the river. Huge variety of food and great quality too. We didn’t want for anything during our stay, and the staff were incredible. We would like to say a special thank you to Sakut our safari guide who was hugely knowledgeable and friendly, Kenneth who looked after us throughout food service and always made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you again to everyone who made this trip extra special.

Mara Explorer Tented Camp

If you're looking for a perfect safari vacation, look no further than the Mara Explorer. While there are a lot of options out there in the Masai Mara, I can't imagine making a better chose than going with Mara Explorer. This was a perfect, luxurious boutique hotel in the middle of nowhere!

From the very beginning, right until the end, everything was an absolutely stellar experience. The rooms were fantastic with such great touches, the food was amazing, and the service on both the game drives and the hotel was impeccable. The views of the river during your meals (often frequented by wildlife) was just a bonus!

Working with Terry in the reservations department was a pleasure and she helped provide us all of the information that we needed for our visa.

The game drivers with Paul were positively breathtaking. Paul went above and beyond to ensure that we saw an amazing array of animals, experienced great scenery and were educated on the Mara itself.

The GM of the hotel, Joseph runs a very tight ship. His staff were nothing short of incredibly friendly and welcoming all with great senses of humour and and eye for service. Special thanks to Lawerence and Sylvester.

With so many options, choosing one can be daunting, but choosing Mara for our safari was a top-tier decision.

It was our 10th wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something special to celebrate it and that’s when we decided to go on our first African safari experience. We watched a lot of videos on Youtube and finally decided on the Mara Explorer Camp. We tried booking the dates on various travel booking websites, but couldn’t get the dates we wanted, so took a chance to write to Mara Explorer Camp. They were able to accommodate us for the dates we wanted in August and the whole booking experience was seamless. We spent 3 nights/4 days at the Mara Explorer Camp in August’23 and it was a wonderful experience (it’s an adult only camp and limited tents so gets booked quick). Right from our arrival till our last day we were made to feel special and were looked after very well. The team at the camp comprising of Joshua, Mary, Joseph, the Chef and our driver/guide, Simon were all so knowledgeable and caring. They took every effort to make our anniversary day special, right from a surprise sundowner to an anniversary cake to a Masai dance and decorating our tent on our anniversary! All our meals were very delicious during the entire course of our stay – including the bush dinner. The facilities were near flawless – laundry, security, food, preparing our beds & camp, game drives just about everything. I highly recommend this camp if you were planning to go to Masai Mara and yes, don’t forget to ask for Simon as your driver/guide. If we decide to go to Kenya again, we know where to book our stay – it’s a home away from home!!

We were absolutely blown away by the Mara Explorer Camp. It was such an incredible stay and the whole team made our time in the Mara unforgettable! Everyone was so welcoming, kind, knowledgable, and helpful to make sure our trip was excellent. We will be back soon and highly recommend!

My wife and I went on our first safari for our honey moon and we were so lucky to go to Mara Explorer. From the moment we landed until the moment we left we had a magical experience. The service from Lawerence, Pauline and the manager Bonface was impeccable and it felt like family from the first moment. The tents were unbelievable and felt extremely safe even having a family of 30 hippos living 50m away from us. The food from the Cheff was incredible with 5 course meals for lunch and dinner. Our guide Silas was also very welcoming and taught us so much about the Mara. We also had the experience of visiting the local village of the Maasai's that I highly recommend. We also did a walking tour and were guided by Jonathan which was unforgettable as we got to walk alongside giraffes. It was a magical experience.

This is the great place to visit currently in masai mara.
The location is great, service is at its level best... Chef (Josephat and Shadrack) will wash away your hunger with their well cooked meals everyday.
If you are looking for a small tent, where no kids below age 13 are allowed,  then this is your destination...

Flushing Toilets

The hotel is 7 km away from the Zanzibar International Airport, which takes 15 minutes to reach by car. 

Upon arriving at the ferry terminal, it is a 5 minute walk or a 3 min drive from the hotel.

Jafferji House

The hotel is unique with old style architectural detail consistent with Stone Town. The lobby and public areas are well decorated with vintage furnishing and pictures/art.  Our room was excellent a real retreat. The staff was very helpful with reservations and directions. Would recommend for visiting Zanzibar.

We had booked this hotel after several days in Zanzibar due to its location. I had received the confirmation email the previous day and when we arrived, we were told that they were fully booked. Excuse me? So from a 4 stars paid hotel, we were invited to move to another hotel of the same owner (3 stars) but far from the desired location. Jafferji hotel had 24h to let us know the problem of our booking but never bothered to let us know. This is the reason of my disappointment with this hotel. The recepcionist, when he saw our disappointment, offered us free lunch or dinner at Jafferji. We had a lovely dinner at the top roof restaurant which had great views.

In the heart of stone town, it’s literally three minute walk to every place you would want to visit
The staff are just the nicest , big shout out to Sam, who helped me get around and showed me the way around the place and was very tolerant with my breakfast. Even after I would show up late, he would always find a way to accommodate me and serve me everything I needed.

I love it might stay here, and I am very sad that it was only for two days

The rooms are big , the Wi-Fi works. I don’t understand why everyone says that it doesn’t. It worked perfectly fine for me. As soon as you get there, you’ll get your Wi-Fi username and password and you can start connecting immediately.

The view in the terrace is to die for its view of all of Stonetown , the breakfast is nice, and the staff made my state more enjoyable

One thing I was worried about is the security because I arrived late at night  (3 am) and the hotel is very traditional like, but that soon went away after my first night and my first stay there, securities, 24/7 staff are reachable 24/7, and I am a very messy person, so I would also always leave my stuff scattered around and would come to find them in their exact position untouched. I definitely recommend this place. It’s also very magical in the morning. I’ll leave you some pictures to see.

10 / 10 would recommend .

Beautiful place, clean rooms and great hospitality at the center of the Stone Town.

Never book this hotel!!!
The hotel itself is very ugly,dark and dirty. With absolutely pathetic breakfast available.

The manager and staff are incapable of fulfilling small tasks and takes them days of misleading lies.

I would recommend to overlook this hotel and it's group completely as they have an absolute lack of communication.

Ordered food and they got my order wrong, went back and the entire team was very kind, gave me the correct food, even a hot chocolate while I waited! Did I mention the service was extremely fast the entire time? Highly recommend the balcony bar

P.s, the food tastes amazing!

My husband and I got married in Nairobi and so stayed at this hotel for the duration of the wedding prep and on the wedding night. We stayed here with some family members who had travelled to Kenya to join us for the wedding. The stay was generally good and comfortable, the staff were all friendly and the food was good.
Our room had a plumbing issue on checking in but this was promptly fixed once we informed them.
As we had stayed here for some time, we requested to have something special in the room for our wedding night to make the room feel different and special. Because this was important to us, this is something we would have been happy to pay for as an extra service. We informed the staff quite a few times so they wouldn't forget about it.
Wedding day came and was successful and we were looking forward to retiring to our room with something special after a long day. But lo and behold, we entered the room and there was nothing done. Nothing at all. Not even some flower petals or chocolate. It looked the same as it always had everyday we had been there.
This was very disappointing especially as we had specifically requested it and were assured it would be done. And now it will forever be part of our wedding day memory of the one thing that was disappointing on an otherwise perfect day.

I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the room. It was spotless, and the comfort of the bed made for a restful night's sleep. Plus, the affordable rates make this place a great value for your money.
What sets this place apart is the staff's commitment to going above and beyond to assist their guests. They were always ready to help with a smile, and their hospitality truly made my stay memorable.

The service was excellent, and the room size was reasonable. It was a bit on the expensive side, but what truly stood out were the exceptional staff members, especially the waiters like Charity. Her service was truly amazing.

Sand Rivers Fly Camp tanzania

What a wonderful place and fabulous staff. They couldn’t do enough for us. The food was excellent. Safari great but we are here in January. Rainy season. Animals were scarce due to plenty of water and thick growth. Great for the animals but a little sad for us. Lodge was fabulous with plunge  pool and fabulous views. Highly recommend.

Hospitality, Wild Beauty and comfort at its best. Home away from home in a unique way. There isn't anything that can beat the hospitality and charming staff that Nomad team at Sand Rivers Selous have. Its one property that will let you relax away from the city noise, preferably as a couple ❤️ and family.

My family spent 3 days here last week and everyone hated the food & accommodations!  ...not to mention the excessive amount of flying insects & mosquitoes (absolutely no pest control here!) and woeful internet access.  Incomparable natural beauty of the surroundings and the staff & guides were awesome...but that’s about it!  The manager (Michelle) was essentially useless and did little to improve the situation.  Never again!

amazing place on rufiji river, Michelle is managing the lodge and let you feel like home in a paradise, the staff and the wonderful guides like Ernest let you be part of a world which hopefully will never disappear, had some of my best hours in the hide, but the wonderful food let me return to the lodge, enjoying this part of the world is the real luxury of life.
