Why Loyk?

Dear Friends!
 
Honestly speaking the most part of safari camps and lodge are more or less the same with spacious tents or rooms, hot showers, flushing toilets, electricity, verandas and etc. The inner design might be simple or luxurious. The location and the surrounding also might be different but there still the same wildlife around. All camps/Lodges based in the Masai Mara National Reserve and outside have no boundaries for the animal’s movements. The same can be mentioned about the service - the quality of meals and drinks surely depend on the skills of the chef and the barman but it is always something average between traditional and international recipes to suit the taste of guests from different countries.
 
That is why sometimes it becomes difficult to choose one particular camp among crowds of beautiful places in Masai Mara.
 
So why to choose Loyk?
What is there so special about it?

Because LOYK gives You something More than just service - We offer You The Unique Experience and The Unforgettable Impressions!
