Wow! Visiting from Canada as part of our honeymoon for October 1-6, this was part of the trip of a lifetime! From the moment we got off the plane, we felt like royalty treated by the staff at JW Masai Mara lodge. We've only had positive interactions with the staff and other guests, whether it was Thelma at front desk, Diana their cultural ambassador, or even the servers that were not specifically assigned to us, we had a delight being treated like no other hotel. We were assigned Vincent as our driver and Faith as our spotter, as well as Leshan as our waiter. We had so much fun joking around and just fitting in at the lodge. Vincent has over 17 years of experience as a guide, and it shows as not only was he able to find the animals that we were looking for, but also put us in a great position for photography by ensuring he shut the car off when we were beside animals, to putting our vehicle in as low of a position we could get to see the animals. We could tell Vincent is a well-respected guide given he seemed to always have connections to other drivers (whether JW or not) to find out about animal spottings. Speaking of photography, it was a great benefit to have the camera rental from Canon's partnership with the lodge. We brought our own camera, and having the camera rental meant we were both out on the drives and having fun! A safari without a proper camera does not do justice for the experience, and we felt extremely lucky to have two for our game drives. The only criticisms would be the food options; while at worst things tasted decent to even amazing, there wasn't much choice in the breakfast menu as we would have liked. Still, the soups and fish dishes for lunch and dinner were amazing. This was our first safari adventure, and we are so glad to have gone to JW Marriott Masai Mara! While we can't say its the best in Kenya if we haven't been to any others, I wouldn't be surprised if it was for any guests that have been to this lodge and other safari experiences. Until next time.
