As soon as we landed at Ngrende airstrip, the Fairmont linked us up with the same guide/driver for our entire stay, which was a very nice touch. We really got to know Lenkoko (driver/guide) and Rose (waiter) - all of whom were absolutely amazing.  The room is clean and it is amazing to see giraffes just driving 300m off the gate.  Lenkoko who was born in Masaai had an incredible eyesight that he can see animals from 5-8 kilometers away therefore our party (I and my daughter) always had a privilege to see animals privately for a while before other parties comes.  We saw lions just hunted a wildebeest and eating it within 8m and 6 elephants very close.   There is a miscommunication on a balloon safari but the entire fairmont tried including Steven, Nancy, Samuel, and Lenkoko solved it in very pleasant way. I will definitely recommend this hotel.  Things I found during the stay are "The guide needs to know where animals are at that time and circumstances.  The more the guide knows, the more guests will see".   That being said, once off road from the mud major street the guide really needs to know to find animals.  If you choose a tour from Nairobi, the guide will know the major street but not sure about once off road and animals behavior.  Once you land in Masai Mara, you will not see paved roads.  Mud street is main and off road is really off from mud street :)

Memorable

I dreamed of visiting this place and my dreams came true. It is MAGICAL. If you are going to Kenya, this is THE place to stay. Everyone is highly trained, professional and welcoming. The buildings are superb. The location is beyond amazing. The bar is great. The food is pretty good too. I couldn't find one thing to complain about. Seriously. Not ONE thing. Go. Have the experience of a lifetime. And stay here.

Kyle B Couples - TripAdvisor review

The Fairmont was unbelievable, I could not have asked for a better place to stay. My one qualm is that I found it unclear that the costly Maasai Mara Conservancy fees were not included in the nightly rates, so that ended up being an unexpected cost at check-out. Nevertheless, the incredible service and amenities made up for the extra cost. The Fairmont links you up with the same waiter, guide, and room attendant for your entire stay, which is a very nice touch. We really got to know Alex (our waiter), Moses and John (our guides), and Sammy (our room attendant) during our 4 night stay - all of whom were absolutely amazing. Gerald was also wonderful behind the bar, and the food was incredible.
