Maasai Mara in Kenya offers a variety of accommodations to suit a range of budgets and preferences. Each accommodation typically offers guided safari drives, and some also offer hot air balloon rides, cultural experiences, or guided nature walks. Remember to book in advance, especially during the Great Migration (July – October), as accommodations fill up quickly.
These offer a unique and immersive experience in the Maasai Mara. They provide luxurious amenities and services in the midst of the wild. Examples include the Governors’ Camp, Angama Mara, and Mara Serena Safari Lodge.
These accommodations are comfortable and reasonably priced, offering good service and amenities. Examples include Mara Sopa Lodge and Keekorok Lodge.
For budget-conscious travelers, there are less expensive options that still provide a solid safari experience. Mara Explorer’s Camp and Mara Leisure Camp are examples.
For those mindful of their ecological footprint, there are eco-camps that focus on sustainability while providing a comfortable stay. Examples include Basecamp Explorer Maasai Mara and Kicheche Mara Camp.
These provide a high level of privacy and luxury. They are ideal for groups or families who prefer a more exclusive safari experience. Cottar’s 1920s Camp and Villa offers such services.
These are suitable for those who prefer to prepare their own meals and love to get a home away from home experience. Mara River Lodge is an example.
