Serena say this is the only lodge inside the Mara Triangle, and as far as we know that is right. The Triangle is the western third of the reserve, separately managed, with strict off-road rules and a fraction of the vehicle traffic of the eastern side. Staying inside it rather than driving in changes what your mornings look like.
The lodge sits high on a bush-covered hill, so the views run across the savannah to the Mara River. The architecture takes the circular form of a Maasai manyatta and builds contemporary rooms into it — every room gets privacy and a panorama, and some look directly onto the river.
The swimming pool is cut into the rock of the hillside with the same view as the restaurant and bar — a genuinely rare thing in the Mara, where most pools face a hedge. And the family breakfast served beside the hippo pool is the sort of thing children remember for thirty years. Ask us to book it when you reserve.
Manyatta-inspired rooms arranged for privacy, all with panoramic views.
The migration crosses the Mara River between roughly July and October, and the Triangle side gives you crossing access without the eastern-side crowds.
Green season, March to May, brings dramatic skies and the lowest rates. The hilltop position means you are above the mud rather than in it.
Being straight with you: this property is not currently a default in any of our fixed packages. We contract it directly and build it in on request. Any of these itineraries can be re-costed around it:
Comparing options? Every lodge we book is on the accommodations page. We would rather put you somewhere that suits you than somewhere that pays us more.
