The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others. ##### Simone Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kylie Anne Jun 12, 2025 \* Safari Park entry included in stay \* Supplied food in room to feed zebras, wilder beasts, rhino & giraffe \* African theme carried throughout the property \* Fire dance nightly was good \* Cash/card at pool bar & spa only - no charge back to room \* No pool towels in room & can not take back to room from pool \* Bar closed before 9.30pm ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2541839a-1d35-43e9-8277-88620f91d456-1749689784355.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbbf4bc9-aed4-4eae-b600-bc2e6d34c6ca-1749689783418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kylie Anne Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful room with ability to feed the animals from our balcony ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alaska Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful stay for 2 nights the safari was pretty amazing I had alot of animals outside of my balcony doors!

The room was spacious and welcoming, complete with a fruit platter on arrival. The balcony offered breathtaking views, and feeding zebras directly from it with carrots left in little baskets was an unforgettable experience! The pool was conveniently located right next to our room, adding to the luxury and relaxation of our stay. This was truly the best stay we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend not just doing a day trip. Experiencing at least one night here is an absolute must! Oh, don’t forgot to have breakfast with lions. Please make sure book the seating/table in advance next to the big open glasses so you have the best view. DO NOT MISSSSSSS THE FIRE DANCE if you are staying at Mara river safari lodge :) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bc8ff00f-ff6d-4bbd-a54f-00b11d9e6b78-1745568113233.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3cee3d97-153d-4858-9499-33c43f109dd0-1745568097178.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/296831c0-d2cd-40b5-a159-abd4d8667259-1745568107632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7520426e-b53c-4c3e-a1e0-fdffe49e8915-1745568117254.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mitesh Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kamandalu Ubud](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Kamandalu-Ubud.h522935.Hotel-Information) > > [Viceroy Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Viceroy-Bali.h1449369.Hotel-Information) > > [ANDAZ BALI, BY HYATT](https://www.expedia.ca/Denpasar-Hotels-Andaz-Bali.h49257475.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Dreamsea Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Pecatu-Hotels-Dreamsea-Bali.h22944267.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Bali-At-Sayan.h443674.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-The-Westin-Resort-Spa-Ubud.h19560526.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Mandapa.h11547221.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels.d4117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Pecatu-Hotels-Alila-Villas-Uluwatu.h2256615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Denpasar-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Bali.h178384.Hotel-Information) > > [Kupu Kupu Barong Villas and Tree Spa by L'OCCITANE](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Kupu-Kupu-Barong-Villas-And-Tree-Spa-By-LOCCITANE.h558574.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-Grand-Mirage-Resort-Thalasso-Bali.h78584.Hotel-Information) > > [Ubud Nyuh Bali Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Ubud-Nyuh-Bali-Resort-Spa.h22574970.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanging Gardens of Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Payangan-Hotels-Hanging-Gardens-Of-Bali.h1341847.Hotel-Information) > > [Maya Ubud Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Maya-Ubud-Resort-And-Spa.h979395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alena Resort A Pramana Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-The-Alena-Resort-By-Pramana.h16177658.Hotel-Information) > > [Element By Westin Bali Ubud](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Element-By-Westin-Bali-Ubud.h23072752.Hotel-Information) > > [COMO Uma Ubud](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-COMO-Uma-Ubud.h1322160.Hotel-Information) > > [Sadara Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-SADARA-Boutique-Beach-Resort-Bali.h1620519.Hotel-Information) > > [Bali au Naturel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tejakula-Hotels-Bali-Au-Naturel-Adults-Only.h15144050.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Nusa-Dua-Hotels-Conrad-Bali.h1056661.Hotel-Information) > > [Candi Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Manggis-Hotels-Candi-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h987856.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air India](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-India-Flights.cAI.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
