Masai Mara is a magnificent landscape of open plains bisected by the Mara River and its tributaries and punctuated by marshes and forests. During the seasonal immigrations, Masai Mara is home to up to a million wildebeest and an equally impressive number of zebras that move into the area of neighbouring Serengeti National park in Tanzania.
Along with the great Mara experience, we are pleased to offer a great laid back relaxing stay at the Mara Simba Lodge on a per person sharing basis. The luxurious accommodation affords supreme privacy and luxury with 3 types of accommodations to choose from that make the most of the bush environs. Incredible and personalised game drives bring you extremely close to the fascinating Big Five. Enjoy the watch of the great migration across the Mara River between July and September every year.
