Lodge and camps within the National Reserve
riverside furniture
The accommodation within the reserve includes affordable mainstream lodges (Mara Simba) and probably the most costly camps in the area (Governors’ II Moran). Inevitably, key routes, river
crossing and animal viewing spots may become crowded within the reserve, especially over Christmas and throughout the migration.
The Mara Conservancy (Mara Triangular)
Little Governor’s Camping around the west bank of Mara, within the Mara Triangular just upstream from Governor’s II Moran (Musiara Airstrip). Utilized in the Musiara sector with a rope-drawn boat over the Mara,
and hidden within the trees, with wonderful bird watching, it has 17 tents, all facing an oxbow marsh from the Mara. There is no fence and lots of animal action, with tigers, buffaloes and hippos
keeping the askaris very busy. However the tents’ style (or insufficient) is much like those of another camps within the Governors’ group.
Mara Serena Safari Lodge On the hilltop within the Mara Triangular, over the Mara River (Serena Airstrip). Situated in the middle of Triangular, near to the migration crossings, this lodge is intriguingly designed,
with different entertainment of two Maasai enkangs, with smallish but appealingly cellular, cave-like rooms, with nets. They have good sights, pool. Facebook
Musiara sector
Governors’ Primary Camping around the east bank from the Mara, near Musiara Gate (Musiara Airstrip). Near to the fantastic game-viewing from the Musiara marsh, this huge, busy, highly regarded as operation has 37
tents-28 facing the river and 9facing the plain. Regrettably, with heavily presented tents, fundamental furniture and utilitarian lavatories, their standards are sliding in accordance with other camps. The 3
Governors’ camps have two bronze guides together.
Governos’ II Moran Camping around the east bank of Mara, just upstream in the primary Governors’ (Musiara Airstrip). The ten huge, steel-presented tents, which all face the river (though regrettably the camping
footpath runs before tents 1-5) are old-fashioned and installed on ugly concrete plinths, but more spacious and furnished compared to primary camping. When you are having to pay that much however, you’d at
least expect some cozy seating in your terrace. Using the blandly featureless bar and mess area, this really is massively overpriced.
Mara Rose bush Camping near to Ol Kiombo Airstrip, around the banks from the Olare Orok. Operated through the excellent Sunworld safaris and open just for the wildebeest migration, this can be a highly suggested,
ten-tent camping, offering tremendous affordability. Battery-charging within the lounge tent as the generator comes from 6.30- 11pm. Closed November- June. F.B.
Mara Explorer around the north bank of Telek River, just upstream from sister camping Mara Intrepids (Ol Kiombo Airstrip). Upmarket sister of Mara Intrepids, this boutique camping is extremely peaceful, with seven
double and three twin open-plan tents,with decks facing the river, and open-air baths. As it is unfenced, visitors use radios to summon the askaris at night. Generator until night time (electrical sockets in tents).
Guest may use intrepids’ pool, with free transfers. Explorer and Intrepids share three bronze guides & one gold. Closed mid- April to mid -June.
Mara intrepids around the north bank from the Talek, just downstream from sister camping Explore (Ol Kiombo Airstrip). This shady camping of thirty tents (with four-poster beds and nets) on the bluff looking over
the river is really a perennial family favorite-the large family tents possess a double, a twin along with a large living space (room for approximately six). Popular activities clubs for kids and teens, watchtower (excellent for
migration photos), and pool. Three bronze guides & one gold.
Rekero Camping Around the north bank from the Telek, near to its confluence using the Mara (OI Kiombo Airstrip). Periodic tented camping, in dense forest in the center of the reserve, and exciting within the thick of
the migration from This summer to October. You depend on photo voltaic energy (central battery-charging), Oil lamps, and bucket showers and revel in convivial nights with fellow visitors, guides and hosts (mainly
bronze guides and something silver), encircled through the noises from the evening. Closed April & May.
Sekenani sector
Keekorok Lodge in the middle of the reserve’s Sekenani sector (keekorok Airstrip). This 101-room lodge may be the earliest within the reserve, dating from 1963. Even though smallish rooms and decorating are
showing how old they are, the Keekorok eco-system modified sometime ago towards the lodge’s presence, and there is good game-viewing nearby. The hippo bar and elephant deck, on the boardwalk within the
papyrus swamp, really are a bonus. Good pool, and also the best shop within the Mara. One bronze & one silver guide.Facebook
Mara Simba Lodge Around the south bank from the Telek River, 6km northwest of Sekenani Gate (Keekorok Airstrip). Opened up in 2005, it has 84 identical hotel-style rooms in blocks of 4, with fans, all
looking over the river, and 17 cabin-style “tents”. Public areas take presctiption decks ranged out within the Telek. Usually most popular lodge within the Mara, by having an worldwide mixture of guest, and also the least expensive in
discount riverside furniture
the reserve itself by some margin. Pool. Facebook
Sarova Mara camping From the primary C12 entrance road, 2km inside Sekenani Gate (Keekorok Airstrip). Probably the most accessible from the reserve’s camps and lodges is well handled and try to busy and
welcoming, with lots of nice touches, for example vegetarian options at each meal. The big pool and jungly gardens are exciting, and it is worth searching for James Saruni Ole Tira, the charming elder and
naturalist. Facebook
Kimintent Group Ranch and Oloololo Game Ranch
Created from the Kimintet Group Ranch, around the west bank from the Mara, the ten square-km private Oloolo Game Ranch adjoins the primary reserve, with accessibility Mara Triangular, through the Oloololo
Gate, just moments away. Olooololo is subject of the ongoing dispite between its foreign proprietors as well as their Maasai partners and also the relaxation from the Kimintet community. Ranch costs are incorporated in overnight
stays.
