We fully enjoyed our stay at the Drunken Elephant - they provided the jumping-off point for the most incredible adventure our family has ever had. They made whatever kind of food we requested, holding off on any ingredients we needed to avoid. The guide they arranged for us was the most informed, impressive person we could have possibly imagined.

Everything! it’s a quiet jungle residence with lots of greensand trees, you can see monkeys everyday, sometimes cows and even elephant near the residence. The staff is the best, tried everything to make us comfortable. The Drunken Elephants is so near the Serengeti Gate only 10 Minute with car. We’ve spent 3 most wonderful days here♥️

Friendly staff, comfortable tent room and proximity to Masai Mara Reserve.

Wow. this is an absolutely beautiful property. Each room is privately located surrounded by jungle with Baboons and cute vervet monkeys you can just sit and watch from you porch. The best part might be the staff and owners. they really take such great care to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. they cook amazing meals. They can help arrange any activities you want to do in the area and helped me with arrangements for onward travel. It is a great location just situated outside the Sekenani Gate. My room was absolutely lovely. Large with well appointed decorations. Super comfortable, clean and furnished with couch sitting area and table. The bathroom was fantastic. Tons of space, 2 sinks and the best shower in Africa. Very comfortable bed and so relaxing after a long day out on a game drive. I cannot say enough great things about Drunken Elephant. I can’t wait to return for another stay.

Wow, what an amazing experience! Kenya is a remarkable place and the Drunken Elephant on the edge of the Maasai Mara was the perfect place to stage an African adventure. The Drunken Elephant is a wonderful camp in the middle of thick trees where you’ll see monkeys and baboons every day. It’s called a tent camp, but the “tents” are more like hotel rooms with canvas walls, full tiled bathrooms, flush toilets, hot water, and fresh drinking water supplied daily. The rooms have attractive stone floors, large comfortable beds, and electrical outlets near the beds, with chairs, tables and places for your clothes and luggage. The canvas walls have screened windows which can be covered with flaps for privacy and opened to view the wildlife and enjoy the cool breeze. Because the camp is located right next to the great Maasai Mara game reserve, wild animals can and will wander right into camp, including hyenas, leopards, lions and elephants. Because of this there is a full-time security guard who walks the grounds to keep guests safe. And each room is surrounded by strong wire fencing to discourage unwanted “visitors”. The owners of the camp are amazing. Faheem, his wife Shivangi and his sister Jazeera treated us like family. They really know how to make you feel comfortable and welcome. They can literally supply you with everything you need or want. They provided us with transportation from the airport in Nairobi to the camp and had our driver stop in Narok for supplies per our request. At the camp they can provide you with delicious meals every day, and will even pack up meals for you when you go out on an excursion. They have their own Land Cruisers and employ a professional Maasai tour guide, Ngaruya, who is amazing. He was born and raised in the area and seems to know everything about the African animals. His stories are amazing and his passion for the animals, and finding them for his clients is remarkable. We took three, full day excursions...

...into the Maasai Mara with Ngaruya and we saw EVERYTHING! Hundreds of elephants, dozens of lions, giraffes, water buffalos, hippos and even the elusive leopards and black rhinos. We even got to watch the famous “Three Brothers”, three male cheetahs who hunt together, track and take down an adult topi. Ngaruya knows what to watch for and he had us literally meters away from the cheetahs when they took down a topi. You can also book hot air balloon rides to view the savannah and wildlife from the sky. You can visit local Kenyan markets to mingle with the local Maasai and even visit one of their villages. We had this opportunity and were greeted outside the camp by Maasai warriors with singing and dancing and an explanation of their culture. We were then invited into their village where the women greeted and sang for us. The warriors showed us how to light a fire with two pieces of wood and we were shown inside one of their humble dwellings. They then showed us their hand made jewelry and carvings and we were encouraged to look at everything, and, of course, encouraged to buy as much as we were willing. We travelled to Kenya with our family of four and the hosts at the Drunken Elephant really went out of their way to make us comfortable with movie nights and popcorn in the lodge and delicious meals, including a steak and chicken barbeque over wood coals, yum! Our son had a birthday while we were there and they even surprised him with a campfire, a private visit from the Maasai warriors, and a homemade birthday cake! At the end of our visit we had to reluctantly say good-bye to our new friends, and once and once again they provided transportation back to our Nairobi hotel and a ride to the airport once we had finished our stay in Nairobi. You will not be disappointed if you stay at the Drunken Elephant. The prices are far better than the other luxury camps, and they still make you feel like a royalty.

Great owners, who makes all for your perfect vacation. We desided to spend one more night there. Also when our car stacked at the Masai Mara park, owner with a team helped us very fast! They maked homemade cake for us, because it was my wife's birthday. Thank you, guys, you are amazing!

When it's rainy, it is difficult to find lodge. Also there is bad road (less than 1 km)

Spotless tent-rooms, laidback atmosphere, quality sleep and relaxation and the best help from the family that runs it. They manage everything, including accommodation, food, safaris, transportation with high quality services. An experience to be remembered and a great value for money.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Drunken Elephant Mara! The reception and customer service was fantastic! The facilities were so clean and comfortable. Each tented room felt secluded and peaceful. Our group was large and had several children. This property was very family friendly and even had a maasai dance that the kids got to join in on. The food was delicious and the staff willingly packed breakfasts / lunches for us to take into the game park. We saw SO many animals in the Mara and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Drunken Elephant was RIGHT outside Maasai Mara so we had such easy access. I would highly recommend staying there!
