“Authentic experience”
+We stayed two nights as part of a bigger trip through Kenya. This was one of the more authentic experiences we had. The location is rather remote from the typical tourist stops, allowing you to see the authentic Kenyan countryside life. The bubble is located in the backyard of Serah (the owner) but with full privacy, own bathroom in the bubble and outdoors shower and kitchen. We didn't have our own car but arranged transport to and from the location with Serah. Because of this, we didn't bring a lot of food with us, but Serah cooks delicious meals on request. Since we already did a Tsavo safari before, we came here for the local hikes. Unfortunately, a group of lions that just arrived in the area didn't allow us to go into the hills as we had hoped, but local guide Omar still guided us around the river, waterfall, fields and village. Can recommend for a short local experience where you are supporting the local community.
−We were aware of this, but if you come without a car (4x4), you are dependent on their transport for getting around. Also, the bubble roof is not fully clear anymore so it is better to observe the stars from outside.

“A peaceful little piece of paradise under the stars”
+Our stay in the bubble was a truly exceptional experience. Falling asleep under the stars, surrounded by nature, felt magical and very peaceful. The place is beautifully decorated with a lot of taste, and the outdoor kitchen and tree‑side shower give it a cozy, stylish glamping vibe. The kitchen had everything we needed for tea and simple meals. The nearby village is quite isolated, which makes it perfect for disconnecting from the city, Wi‑Fi, and everyday stress. There is a small local restaurant with warm homemade food at very good prices, and the atmosphere in the village is joyful and welcoming. It is not ultra‑luxury, but it is clean, comfortable, and created for a good cause, which makes the experience even more meaningful. Sarah, the host, is truly wonderful: very caring and attentive to her guests, always making sure we felt comfortable. She even lets guests enjoy the many fruits and herbs growing around the property, which adds a very special touch to the stay. This place is a real gem and absolutely worth supporting and visiting.

“TERRIBLE!”
+Nothing... everything was a disaster. Something that should have been special, in practice, was terrible.
−Here's what went wrong: - When we returned in the evening, we found the tent completely collapsed (see attached photos). It was impossible to stay inside because there was no ventilation. We contacted Sarah, the owner, but she didn't respond during the emergency, but she came the next day with an apology. We spent the night outside without sleep... the worst experience I've ever had. - The shower was outside with cold water due to a technical problem. We asked for an adjustment, but they couldn't fix it. Can you imagine how unpleasant it was to shower outside with cold water that evening, after returning from a safari? - The shower didn't have any soap or shower gel. We asked for one, but nothing was brought, we just washed with water. - The worst thing was the lack of toilet paper in the bathroom. We asked for it as soon as we arrived, but it wasn't brought until the second day. Can you imagine what it's like not to be able to clean up after pooping? - Other problems: lack of maintenance everywhere, the kitchen faucet keeps leaking, lack of sugar, and dirt. - The campsite only has one tent, and in the evenings you're left completely alone; if you need help, no one will help you. -

+Place located in solitude, remote area - makes it tricky to reach on your own but for some that is an advantage, part of the charm :-) Being the only guest/tourist around made it quite a special experience. It's asp worth mentioning that this is a part of local community project still in the early stages, so expectations should be managed accordingly. Beautiful initiative that's worth supporting.

“It’s a hoax and doesn’t exist”
+I want to report this one and I want my full amount of money back, as I said it before. Bubble safari doesn’t exist and I also got a strange email on this day, if I made it’s ok for PayPal to pay 319€. This is a hoax and the address is incorrect aswell as on Airbnb it says a different city. Also on instagram there are only catalogue photos just like here. I hope the don’t see any details of me. I want to report this one with no payments made.

“Unique adventure in the middle of nature”
+Serah is a very kind & engaged host. The communication through Whatsapp worked perfectly. The location is a 40 minutes (private shuttle for ~2500-3000Ksh) drive away from Voi close to the village Msau. The bubble is a unique experience and we enjoyed it a lot. The kitchen is well equipped for easy meals and local village stores are close by. However, if you prefer a more diverse diet, you should stop by at a supermarket beforehand. There are a lot of birds around and at night you will also hear many bushbabies. They also stole our bananas ;) However, they are very hard to find. We could not spot any although we tried a lot. We booked two activities from Serah. We did the hike with local guides through the nearby hills and villages and met many nice local people. During our safari through Tsavo East, we saw many different animals but be aware that this will be a self-guided safari in her own 4WD Landrover. It was sufficient to navigate through the area but at this moment (once we left, Serah already tried to find solutions for it) did not have an open roof to enjoy 360° views. If you are open to a local experience close to nature, animals & the stars, this is a perfect match! Thanks

“A magical stay in nature with an unforgettable mango tree shower and a host who went above and beyond - absolutely recom”
+I stayed at Safari Bubbles for two nights and it was just wonderful. Surrounded by pure nature, my highlight was the unique outdoor shower under a mango tree - unforgettable! 🌿 The host was truly amazing - warm, caring and going far beyond what she had to. I felt genuinely welcome every moment. Highly recommended to anyone looking for peace, nature and real hospitality. 🌟

“The most beautiful stay in Kenya!”
+Don’t hesitate to book this accommodation! The bubble is amazing, unique and one of a kind. It feels so luxury and at the same time you’re surrounded by nature. It’s very private and you even have your own outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower (with warm water! The first warm water we had in Kenya!) There is a little village at just 5 minute walk where you can buy fruits, vegetables, chapati, fried potatoes and meat. Serah is an amazing host. Very fast in her response and she’s able to help you with all of the activities: safari in Tsavo west or east, an amazing hike through the mountains or a waterfall trip. Her vision and entrepreneur spirit is amazing to see and she has some great advices. Thank you so much for everything and hopefully we’ll be back one day!
