Sophie2025-03-01Moses and Laura were excellent hosts and they and their staff were all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We had the most memorable experience . Highly recommend to anyone who is doubting whether to book. The BBQ evening was a highlight , delicious food and fascinating dancing and singing from the Masai tribe. We loved every moment of it , as did our 3 year old and we were lucky enough to see lions, cheetah , a python, elephants and giraffes and Debra’s amongst others on our game drives , - Mike was an expert in tracking down the animals and sharing amazing stories. We also got engaged on the viewing platform in Moses garden !! Don’t miss out . The cabin has everything g you need and a beautiful garden to chill out in
Jacqueline2025-02-12We absolutely loved everything about our stay on Kobi Farm! The warm greeting by Moses, the neighboring wildlife, eating Marshmellows with Josphat (Security and fire master), stargazing on the hammock, the tour of the farm + the herding. Our personal favorite were the safari gamedrives with Mike! We had a blast:)
Gwen2025-02-09If I could give Moses and Laura 100 stars, I would. This was truly the experience of a lifetime and while I anticipated having a great stay, they curated an adventure above and beyond anything imaginable. The game drive was otherworldly, and our guide, Mike, was fantastic. It was super affordable and well worth every penny spent. The personal touches like setting up breakfast in the park and bringing blankets for the chilly morning ride were so sweet. The Bush BBQ is an absolute MUST. We loved dancing with the Maasai men and eating super fresh lamb cooked over a fire. We also did a morning walk with Moses while he herded their animals and he shared so much knowledge about the landscape, culture, medicinal plants and local animals. He is a wealth of knowledge and we are forever grateful for his hospitality. If you’re considering staying with them, don’t think twice. Book now and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. Thanks so much Moses and Laura! Asante sana
Agnes2025-01-31Mozes csodálatos vendéglátó. Tiszta, igényes a szálláshely, ami igazi felüdülés volt a 2 hetes afrikai utazás végén. Mozes a kérésünknek megfelelően tartalmas programokat szervezett nekünk, mindig minden a megbeszélt időben, és módon történt. Fantasztikus ételeket kaptunk, bőséges és változatos volt minden étkezés. Mozes nagyon figyelmes, gondos házigazda. Imádtuk a farmot, és őt is. Köszönjük!
Sira2025-01-05Ya habíamos leído buenas valoraciones pero una vez allí, todo ha superado nuestras expectativas. Moses y su equipo han hecho un excelente trabajo para ofrecer un alojamiento y estancia integrado en el medio natural y sostenible. Hemos podido probar producto muy bueno y fresco de sus propios animales. Los ratos pasados con el conductor Ronoh durante el safari han contribuido a que esta experiencia sea de las que recordaremos . Sin duda un lugar para quedarse.
Nina2025-01-02Unser Aufenthalt bei Moses und Laura war unglaublich. Wir haben uns von der ersten Minute sehr willkommen gefühlt und haben die Zeit im Pink Container, in der Wildnis der Masai Mara und in Gesellschaft von Moses und Laura sehr genossen. Das Angebot der beiden an Ihrem Leben und Ihren Ideen teilzuhaben ist super. Wir haben den Weidegang mit den Tieren und die Aussichtsplattformen sehr genossen.Auch der Game Drive mit Rono war super und sehr zu empfehlen.Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
Benjamin2024-12-26We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was two couples and we felt comfortable in the unit. We stayed for two nights and felt that was perfect to be able to enjoy the property. It is also 15 minutes from the main Masai Mara entrance. We will be back!
Xie Ke And Ivan2024-11-30We had a lovely stay with Moses. Kobi farm is a beautiful and peaceful us for us to rest after our travel around Kenya and game drives. Moses arranged the drive for us, everything is just perfect. The container is well organised and very clean, highly recommend Thank you Moses and Laura!
Dina2024-11-22This place is 100% recommended to anyone considering a clean space, super unusual staying in the middle of a park yet feeling safe. I was truly impressed with how Moses took care of all the small details starting with the apartment and how keen they are on ensuring that everything is sustainable. Moses and Laura have been super friendly, they showed us around the farm, cooked us dinner as per our request and packed lunch. Also, the location is only 15 minutes away from Masai gate. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to everyone :)
Kobe2024-10-20Moses and Laura were fantastic. They made us feel at home but we also had the privacy of our own space if we needed it, but they were also always available if we had questions. They also have a lookout point to watch the sunset and animals which we thoroughly enjoyed.We had such a great time not just on their property but also spending time with them and getting to know them. We came with no expectations but felt so at home, we definitely feel as if we made two new friends
