Guest reviews
"Staying at house in the wild surpassed all our expectations! It felt like we have experienced both luxury and a home-away-from-home. We were so well looked after in the best location for exploring the Mara. Thank you to all the staff for helping us to have the holiday of a lifetime. Special thanks to David for being such a fantastic guide – we really hope to come back some day!"
"We had a wonderful time at House in the Wild – what an amazing spot. The rooms are very comfortable with great views! The food was very good and the staff very friendly – we will definitely come back. Thank you for your hospitality."
"We have had the most amazing family holiday at House in the Wild – we cannot believe how beautiful it is and how tranquil. The service was second-to-none with friendly, polite and lovely staff. The food was outstanding – thank you Godfrey! Truly it was a 5-star stay even before our wonderful game drives. Seeing the vast quantities of animals was unbelievable and Wilson was the most wonderful guide to have – incredibly knowledgeable about all things Maasai and Mara. We have learned so much and gained such a love for this place."
