The Masai Mara national reserve is home to the annual great wildebeest migration that is also recognized as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. The migration attracts visitors from all over the world and savvy businesspeople have set up lodges and camps to accommodate those that visit this reserve. The lodges offer comfortable accommodation and extra amenities based on how much deep your pockets are.
The first lodge to consider is the Royal Mara safari luxury lodge that is found near the 2 crossing points for the wildebeests on the Mara river. The lodge is also near the Leopard Gorge where the Big Cat documentary series produced by the BBC is shot. Tourist are able to see the “Big Five” wild animals as well as other wild animal species.
Royal Mara safari luxury lodge has a total of 8 luxurious suites well suited for honeymooners. Guests at this lodge can enjoy hot air balloon expeditions, walking as well as birding safaris. The other option would be to visit the local Masai village or just relax at the lodge and enjoy nature’s wonders.
The other top lodge in Masai Mara is the Mara Serena Safari lodge located on top of a hill ensuring that guests enjoy the best views of the Masai plains. The lodge is modeled after the Masai huts decorated with local Masai artifacts and at the same time maintaining a touch of sophistication. Guest can enjoy spectacular views of the wildebeest migration as it unfolds as well as watch other wild animals. For those that love birds, they will not be disappointed as there are 500 bird species resident here. In each of the rooms we have a balcony that accentuates the scenery of the wild animals.
Mara Simba lodge is another awesome lodge in the Masai Mara. The lodge has a total of 84 rooms and its designed both as a cultural as well as safari lodge. Its design borrows from the Masai culture allowing guests to enjoy the Masai culture under comfortable conditions. The garden has lush gardens and colorful birds with butterflies. Mara Simba lodge also operates luxury tented camps.
Its interesting to note that Mara Simba lodge is one of the few lodges in Kenya that have a waste treatment facility within its confines. When it comes to dining, vegetarian and non vegetarian diets are on offer. Guests can also get drinks from the restaurants. Activities guests that can engage in include hot air balloons, bush dinners or even go on nature walks.
On the Oloongams Hills, we have the Masai Mara Sopa lodge, one of the first lodges built on the Masai Mara. The lodge offers nice opportunities to see the wild animals at the game reserve including the flora and fauna.
Keekorok lodge is another awesome lodge found in the Masai Mara. The lodge was built in 1962 and boasts as being the first lodge in the game reserve. It also has the advantage of being next to the migration path of the wildebeests so guests do not have to go on a game drive in order to see the migration but can view it from the comforts of their lodge. The lodge is not fenced and thus wild game can stroll inside here. Some of the activities one can engage in include bush dinners, walking safaris as well as other fun activities.
