Lodge    House In The Wild - Ol Choro Oirua
 

House in the wildRecently renovated, this private house is ideal for families, and guests looking for a little privacy. Set on the banks of the Mara River, House in the Wild has an amazing view of the river. It’s well manicured lawn stretches under a grove of large trees and is well shaded. There are 3 double bedrooms and a central sitting room and dining room with a cozy fireplace.


For those who would rather have the independence and privacy of a secure house, with the Masai Mara as your own back yard, this is the perfect spot. For those who would like to do a self-drive safari without the clicking of cameras from other visitors, this is your chance. Without having to take your camping kit with you, we offer a fully furnished house, complete with a kitchen with fridge/deep freeze, gas cooker and jiko-oven and all utensils and cooking equipment as well. A cook is also available to use as you like, so you can come back after sundowners on the plains to a hearty meal prepared from your own food (if you choose the self catered option) or from our menu for the guests on full board terms.
Directions:
By Air: Direct flights from Nairobi– Ngerende twice daily. We are a short 20 minute game drive from the Ngerende strip. Transfers are available.
By Road: From Narok take the tarmac road for about 55km to the Mulot turn off. (You will see a green fuel levy sign on your left, the Mulot turn off is just after this)
There will be signs to the Mara Safari Club, follow these. Follow this dirt road for about an hour and a half (approx 30km). At the first fork, keep right, at the second fork (there is a burnt out car on the right) keep left. At the third fork where there is a sign for M.S.C pointing left, take the right hand fork. You will then follow an electric fence on your right and you will come to a t-junction with an electric fence straight ahead of you, take the right turn and you will come to the Olerai main gate. Take the gate to the left and a guide will meet you at the main office.

Lodge    Mara Simba Lodge - Koiyaki


Mara Simba lodgeThe Masai Mara experience has remained the once-in-a-lifetime dream of safari lovers ever since the days when hunters thronged the region in search of the ultimate black-maned lion trophy. Natural home to the “Big 5” game, a safari to Kenya cannot be said to be complete without it. During the months of August to November, thousands of visitors get down to the Masai Mara to witness one of the most spectacular phenomena on earth. Stretching as far as the eye can see, a teeming mass of zebra, wildebeest, and topi, trailed by scavengers make way into the Mara plains from the Serengeti, in what is known as the Great Migration.
It is estimated that over two million animals take part in the journey. When planning for a holiday it is recommended that you set aside 3-5 days in order fully appreciate your stay at the Mara.
The Mara Simba Lodge sits overlooking a dramatic bend on the bank of the Talek, a tributary of the Mara River, gently blending into the surrounding wilderness. Stretching almost a kilometer along the river the grounds on the bank remain in their virgin condition, while the landscaped gardens filled with indigenous trees at the back draw a great variety of birds and butterflies. The lodge was conceived with an emphasis on exclusivity and comfort. It was designed to complement its surroundings and is decorated in Masai traditional style. Wide, well-lit pathways connect the Public areas and rooms.
At the Mara Simba, special care is taken to conserve the environment. The Mara Simba is the only truly environment friendly lodge in Kenya as it is the first to install a sewage treatment plant. The plant provides crystal clear water that is used for irrigation.
The 84 guest rooms, arranged in clusters of 6 in each natural wood and stone Banda ( 4 rooms on the ground floor, 2 interconnecting rooms on the first floor), comprise 60 twin rooms, 12 double, 4 double & single and 8 triple rooms. They all have en-suite showers, tiled bathrooms with natural granite and Twyfords, (UK) bathroom fittings. Each spacious room, which can easily accommodate an extra bed, opens onto its own private veranda with uninterrupted views across the river.

Tented Camp  Wheel Chair Access  Sarova Mara Game Camp - Mara Reserve

Sarova Mara Game campLocated within the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, Sarova Mara Game Camp`s 73 tents capture the true spirit of the Kenyan wild, in Kenya`s richest game reserve. Greatly renown for its annual wildebeest migration, Big Five, Sarova Mara offers a breathtaking view of the plains aloft a hot air balloon.

Tented Camp  Wheel Chair Access  Mara Serena lodge - Mara Reserve

mara serena lodgeLocated at the very centre of the famous ‘Mara Triangle' of the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill with long views over the savannah and down to the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife arenas, with a ringside seat for the ‘greatest wildlife show on earth', the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

Styled to echo the circular motif of a traditional Masai manyatta, the lodge blends international sophistication with raw African beauty, while featuring twin rows of individual rooms, each with its own view of the famous Mara River. The central bar and dining areas enjoy spectacular views, as does the rock-surround swimming pool. Each luxuriously-presented room is accommodated in its own stand-alone modular unit, with uninterrupted views, private balcony and spacious seating area. Activities include three daily game drives in custom-built traditional safari vehicles, ‘sundowners' in the bush, breakfast by the hippo pools, balloon safaris and exotic Masai bush suppers.

Word renowned for the breathtaking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth', the awe inspiring annual migration of the wildebeest, the Mara is Kenya's most visited protected area. Technically an extension of Tanzania's renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers and towering escarpments offer one of the world's most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas.

Tented Camp  Wheel Chair Access  Mara Sopa Lodge - Mara Reserve

mara sopa lodgeLocated on the slopes of Oloongams Hills, it is one of the first lodges to be built in the Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Location
240 kms from Nairobi, approximately 5 hours on tarmac and all weather murram road, situated outside the park. Flying is one hour to the nearest airstrip which is 30 minutes drive to the lodge.
