I think now that there have been more successes, people aren't as skeptical about this deal.

Just booked a trip to Kenya purely based on this wonderful promotion. End of August 5 nights at the Masai Mara for a rate you would not believe even if I told you. Same wonderful rate for the Fairmont Norfolk in Nairobi on the way in and on the way out. In the height of the season and hopefully some left over great migration. What a deal, what a deal...
I am so enthusiastic about this unexpected bonus trip... Thanks nyx.t2t!

I recommend to get in touch with the hotel for an exact information and quote to be on the safe side (if you care).
Cheers,

I knew about the 26% surcharge, but still a steal. (The added $60 a day would make it more expensive but you would have to pay that anyway.)
The game drives at $40 I actually don't find too expensive. I do expect to be completely ripped off with the price of food since the only alternative is to compete for steak with the lions.
EDIT: Mara Safari Club is located in the Ol Choro Ol Roua conservation area, just outside the park.
You only pay park fees when you go on a game drive, so that is normal. I expected that.

Thanks. I understand the hotel itself is outside of the park, so you do not have to pay park fees unless you go a game drive. Not 100% sure though, so I mailed to hotel to confirm. Awaiting the answer...
