This is an amazing resort and experience. So beautiful with outlook from your balcony over an African panorama. Rhinos, zebras, wildebeest, giraffe to greet your morning coffee views. The staff are so excellent here in every area, genuine helpful friendliness caring to provide you the best stay experience. The Tsavo Lion restaurant is remarkable. Delicious breakfasts then the lunch and dinners are of 5 star quality and the service is truly exceptional! Watching the lions in their beautiful natural environment while dining is spectacular for both young and old. The park does an amazing job for the protection of animals and endangered species. Their breeding programs and introducing the animals back to their natural habitats is recognized by experts globally. Their animal and education shows teach children and adults the issues faced by animals from the environment and how we can help. The children’s interaction and closeness to these amazing animals brings hope to their future. This is a unique experience to stay at such a resort. An experience not to be missed!

Good value, fun attractions, needs comfort updates
The value of the room was good, because you get to walk around the park freely. The room could use some essential upgrades for comfort. One of the things needed is a misqiuo net. There were a lot of openings where bugs can get in so having some time cleaning and sealing is also wanted.

Meh...
Tough one to explain... It’s overpriced and disappointing yet I’m glad that we went. I have no regrets dropping $700-$800 on our two day stay. First off, the Twiga rooms aren’t as cool as they seem in the pics online. I had visions of closely interacting with wildlife from my balcony and feeding them practically by hand. There’s actually a pretty far distance separating you from the animals. Especially sucks if you’re unathletic like myself and can’t even give a carrot a good throw. Same deal with the pool. There will be no baby tigers or rhinos hanging out poolside. It’s very buggy there. I do a lot of traveling so it’s not that I have unrealistic expectations of a bugless Indonesia. Heck, I’m currently surrounded by mosquitos in northern Bali as I type this review and am totally cool with it. ...but Mara is buggy’er than usual. There were quite a bit more in the room than anywhere else we’ve stayed. The doors and windows are not sealed off well. The staff doesn’t give that Balinese sweet hospitality vibe. They felt more reserved. They didn’t give the same “makes you feel like family” type of vibe that we experience elsewhere in Bali. So, after all of that complaining, why am I saying it’s a “must visit”? Freakin’ Tigers. Being so up close and personal with the tigers on the night safari was a once in a lifetime experience that made it worthwhile. Also, feed the white tigers during the day. Amazing!!!
