It is on this terrain that the Great Migration takes place anually .. when millions of wildebeest, gazelle & zebra traverse out from the Serengeti in Tanzania to feed on the lush new grasses in the Masai Mara & to give birth to their young. The Mara Serena Safari Lodge has wonderful views of this surrounding landscape. Set on a saddle of a hillside overlooking the 1800 sq kms of rolling plains, woodlands & rivers that make up the Masai Mara triangle – one of the world’s richest wildlife reserves & sanctuaries.

74 Ivory class huts are constructed to allow each room to have a relatively uninterrupted view. Each room has a queen sized bed (or two twin beds can be arranged) & en-suite bathroom facilities.

Keekorok Lodge was built in the direct path of the Great Migration & at the time of its completion, was the first lodge in the Masai Mara. At the height of the migration the Lodge is surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebra & gazelle along with the ever present array of predators ( lion, cheetah, hyena & leopard ) who await this annual period of ´feasting´. There is hardly a need to go on a game drive during this period as much of what one can & does witness away from the Lodge, takes place within view of the accommodation units & main lodge facilities anyway.

Accommodation here is either in bungalow styled units, single story blocks & shaded chalets. Liberal use od cedar wood, pink & grey Sand River stone & other indigenous building materials offset the colourful bougainvillas & manicured lawns. The food is prepared by International chefs who combine local cuisine with a wide variety of recognized faire.

There is a 300m wooden raised walking platform winding through the forest in front of the Lodge leading to a thatched sundowner bar overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Here a resident hippo herd supine in the shallows of a water hole pool.

Keekorok Lodge is NOT fenced, therefore is not uncommon to have all manner of animals come wandering through at their leisure – it is after all, their domain. Elephant & buffalo enjoy the shade on the perimeter of the grounds & at night, lion & especially hyena nose about. Guests will be appraised of personal security issues & measures when they arrive – remember, the animals here rule & it is humans who are the intruders.

There is a guest swimming pool & arrangements are easily made for guests who wish to experience a dawn hot air balloon flight ending in a champagne breakfast in a bush location – something we certainly recommend as exhilarating & fun.

In the evenings, most guests congregate around the lounge log fire to swop experiences & meet others from around the world.

Keekorok Lodge provides :

• Standard room twin & double bed accomodation with private bathroom facilities.
• Guest Swimming Pool.
• Alternative evening Maasai traditional dancing & entertainment
• Major credit cards are accepted.

Additional & Extra Cost:

• Guided game drives in custom safari 4 x 4 vehicles.
• Guided bush walking safaris, escorted by armed Rangers from the Kenya wildlife service.

Situated in the south eastern part of Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for the lesser & greater flamingo populations which populate the lake, Lake Nakuru Lodge blends ecologically into its setting, so much so that animals browse peacefully close much to the fascination of guests.

This region is one of Kenya´s most densely populated animal & bird wetlands, only two hours drive on a first class paved highway, 156kms from Nairobi. It is also accessible by air charter which takes no more than 25 minutes from Nairobi´s Wilson Airport to the bush landing strip adjacent to the lodge.

The National Park is quite small ( 155 sq kms ) & is fully fenced to contain the animal populations from straying into agricultural lands. Here, a resurgence of both black & white rhino is being carefully managed with the present population numbering 55 rhino which is multiplying annually. The park also boasts Rothschild Giraffe, leopard, wild dog, eland, zebra & territorial lion.

The lodge has 60 rooms, set up as doubles or family accommodation suites & dining is provided either outside in a ´boma´ setting or at an African theme night BBQ & Sundowner.

Activities include game drives, bird watching & horse-back riding safaris.

The lodge has a spacious logged fired bar ( Mama Nikki´s ) & a cool upstairs Rhino Paddock cocktail lounge overlooking the swimming pool & the lake. On offer also for guests is evening entertainment & slide presentations.

Set in the Aberdares National Park the Ark Game Lodge is set alongside a floodlit waterhole & salt lick which attracts a myriad of awesome wild-life : elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopard, bushbuck & occasionally the very elusive bongo or giant forest hog.

The Ark is designed as if it was the swept up bows of the biblical sanctuary for animals, catering for 37 twin, 10 double, 7 triple & 6 single cabin styled guest rooms. All rooms have private bathroom facilities with a shower & enjoy a view of the forest waterhole.

There are two viewing galleries, an open deck & a ground level bunker. During the hours of darkness, guests may opt to have a bell sounded in their room when interesting animal species approach the waterhole. The bar & cafeteria remain open all night long catering to those who drift in & out from game viewing. Breakfasts & dinners are served in the main guest dining room.

Access to the Ark Game Lodge is via the Aberdare Country Club & is a forty minute drive or by air, it is 7 miles from Mweiga airfield, one hours drive from Nyeri airstrip & two hours from Nunyuki airstrip.

This tented camp enjoys magnificent views of Mt Kenya´s snow covered peak & the game rich savannah grasslands of the Sweeetwaters 24000 hectare private game reserve.

The tents are well appointed, set under thatch roofs with en-suite bathroom facilities & their own private verandah. Located in an original farmhouse is the dining room, guest lounge & bar & reception area. There is also a guest swimming pool to cool off in during the heat of the day.

Day & night game drives in 4X4 safari vehicles, ranger hosted walking safaris, bird watching, camel safaris & special setting outdoor dining complete the range of activities available.

Mara Simba Lodge was conceived as the ultimate safari resort location in the Masai Mara National Reserve. While the décor is distinctly Maasai, the emphasis is on exclusivity & comfort. The lodge grounds extend a kilometre along the banks of the Talek river with the left bank being virgin, while further back the landscaped bushland gardens attract many species of birds, colourful butterflies & insects.

Access to guest rooms is by way of wide, well-lit pathways. There are 84 guests rooms in all, arranged in clusters of 6 units. There are 60 twin, 12 double, 8 triple & 4 double + single units. Each has en-suite bathroom & if necessary, the bedroom can accommodate an extra rollaway bed. All of the rooms look out onto the river.

The lodge is known for serving generous meals & caters to all tastes with a wide range of mouthwatering specialities. The chefs work on the assumption that meals must be healthy, filling & equally, exciting & memorable. Outdoor dining is available for special occasions just as is a poolside BBQ on warm summer evenings.
