Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

It was such an amazing experience at the camp and throughout the safari! Lucky to see amazing animals with an excellent guide - Mark who is so knowledgeable, well informed, funny, safety conscious and kind. The team at the lodge were excellent and very welcoming! The food is to die for , the drinks so tasty and the location is great!

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.
