We stayed here as part of a three week safari to Kenya and Tanzania, Siana Springs was our last stay in Kenya, we spent three nights here. Compared to the other camps/lodges of a similar standard which we had stayed in during our trip to Kenya, we felt disappointed with our stay at Siana.
The tent we were accommodated in was the furthest away from the main building and difficult to find at night as the signs for the tents were confusing. The tent was comfortable but was rather tired looking. (Having said this they did move us to another tent the following day which was slightly better.) At all the other camps we had to have a guide to take us back to our tent at night, we were told to find our own way back at Siana Springs, which I found intimidating as the camp is very overgrown. This is an eco camp so we found the times the electricity was turned off to be inconvenient at times. We didnt enjoy the buffet style food here either. We felt in our opinion that the pool area was in need of some renovation and cleaned, we didnt feel we could swim in the pool. We didnt find the staff as accommodationg and as friendly as other camps. Also, this camp is at least a 40 minute drive from the main gate of the Maasi Mara, yes you can see the local Maasi herding their animals and the countryside is beautiful, but this is an added journey to get into the reserve and start viewing the wildlife. We would also recommend flying in if possible as we had a very long, tiring, bumpy drive to get to Siana Spring and felt shattered by the time we arrived. This, however, depends on where you are travelling from of course. We did go on a balloon ride while in the Maasai Mara which we highly recommend, it was amazing, and so was the wildlife and scenary in this area. But we wouldnt stay at Siana Springs again, we would recommend a camp inside the reserve.
Room Tip: We prefered a tent closer to the main building due to the walk back to the tent at night in dark wit...
