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

It was a fantastic experience staying at the lodge! Surrounded by wildlife animals every moment! Didn’t expect to hear lion’s roar while resting in the bed! They even provided carrots in room to let us feed the animals from the balcony! Dinning with lion was also exciting, the lions were very active and came close to the guests to interact! The staffs were super friendly they even surprised us with a birthday cake! The room is spacious and well maintained! Everyone was so happy during the stay!

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. 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.

Some of the staff were very friendly, some were so so. No one mentioned the white tiger, Komodo dragon or piranhas so we never saw them. I think they should give a map and point things out. There was the marine park but no one ever mentioned if it was open or closed. Food was awesome. Room was so so

Amazing set along side of the zoo being able to throw carrots to the zebras. Watch them walking around. Breakfast with lions walking past the windows was very cool. The buffet breakfast was lovely. We paid for the buffet dinner and watched the fire dance.. very nice. Catching the tour bus thru the zoo was fun followed by a day exploring the zoo . Getting to pat and touch/ hold several animals and get photos with them AMAZING… best part of our trip was coming here got to feed one of the elephants… nice area

We have been coming here for 11 years now but not again. Still charging top dollar to stay here but very run down. Reception staff very hard to understand and they just answer “yes” to everything. Restaurant staff amazing, amazing explaining our tour and that we should have arrived an hour earlier for our meal that is included in the tour but we could come after tour. Time on receipt was 7pm and we arrived at 6.30pm. Night Safari was delayed because a large group arrived and we had to wait. We were put on 1 truck then asked to leave that truck and wait for the next. That felt so wrong. Many disappointments with the hotel and the park. My list could go on but we will not return. Guessing 2 less people will not make a difference but it will to us

Had a ton of fun here, really brings you back to a sense of childlike wonder for the animal kingdom. I booked a Twiga room, on the second floor. You’re close enough to toss carrots to the zebras in the free roaming zone below. It also came with a free safari pass. I thought it could be better that they don’t help you book events like Feed the Predator in advance after you book your room — we didn’t know we’d need to book it in advance so couldn’t do it the day we wanted to, and nearly missed out on the experience. The park itself is great and I definitely recommend checking out all the shows you can, each was better than I expected.

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!

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.

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!!!

After spending 6 nights in busy Seminyak we had booked a room at Mara River and booked the Safari lodge, and we were glad we did. We stayed in a family room, which consisted of 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom a mini kitchenette, living room and balcony. Although not modern, the room was still clean. The bathroom were and outdoor style with and window which we quite liked as it was something different. The balcony had view of the safari animals. We also we see the animals straight from the bed. It was so relaxing and calming to sit and watch the animals. The air conditioning in the master bedroom was working quite well. After sending out the technician and still not being satisfied, the lovely Fernando from reception organised for us to move rooms conveniently next door as it was late at night and we had already unpacked, he allowed us to keep our bags in the original room and sleep in the new room with the air conditioning working. This was much appreciated! We got to enjoy having breakfast and dinner with the lions and an elephant ride to breakfast. We done the night safari which was an unforgettable experience seeing all the animals, being able to feed them and have the tigers crawl over the cage. We also done the day safari which was at fantastic experience in air conditioned bus. Overall we are glad we had booked to stay at Mara River after an exhausting week in busy Seminyak, it was perfect to sit and unwind and listen to the animals

Hotel staff say for all the issues that you bring to their attention that this is our “Standard”. I should tell hotel and their mgt that your standards are very low. Its not worth the money that we pay for.

Absolutely amazing! We had a spectacular one night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. So special to be able to see and feed zebras and elephants from our patio and the Safari Park experience was just awesome! Comfy beds, warm and friendly staff, and one of the best free breakfast buffets we have ever had (and with lions made it incredible!) Definitely stay here!

A unique and beautiful lodge in Bali. The staff was professional, friendly, genuine and caring. They certainly went the extra mile to make sure we were very well taken care of. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and spacious and very much made you feel as if you were in an African lodge. The animals appeared well cared for and happy. The animal experiences were humane and truly an unforgettable experience. The night safari is an absolute must! Our son had a wonderful and memorable time feeding the zebras and wildebeest from our balcony and the staff was more than kind in giving him extra carrots to feed every time he asked. The Tsavo Lion Restaurant was an unforgettable experience and a unique way to dine. The safari park was conveniently located a short walk away and the free entrance made for ease in seeing the park at different times at our own pace. All around it was a wonderful experience and should the opportunity ever present itself we would be more than happy to return.

If you are in bali, have to visit this hotel. Highlight, we stayed two day but I think just one day is enough. Highlight: convinient to use bali safari, there is a pool near swala, it is small but good to use with animal view. If you have children they will be facinated by breakfast with lion and mearcat. Lowlight: The room condition is not so clean. Many bugs and mosquitos around the room. Bathroom drain was terrible smell. breakfast was not very satisfactory. There was nothing around the hotel, so there was nothing to do after five o'clock.
