Adventure seekers planning a trip to Kenya can look forward to the unveiling of JW Marriott’s luxurious Masai Mara Lodge, the hotel group’s first high-end safari property in Africa. Scheduled to open its doors in 2023, the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge boasts a prime location bordering the Mara National Reserve, a well-known wildlife sanctuary and natural haven in Africa.
Positioned along the picturesque River Talek, JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge promises guests a uniquely refined camping experience as they explore the wonders of the Masai Mara National Reserve, famous for its breathtaking panoramas and diverse wildlife. Guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a comprehensive wellness approach that prioritizes environmental consciousness and sustainability during their stay.
The lodge will offer 20 exclusive tents, including a luxurious presidential pavilion with a canvas roof and two interconnected canopy suites. Catering to families, each tent features a private deck with views of the river. Shared facilities will include a restaurant, lounge bar, spa, and a spacious outdoor terrace complete with fire pits for traditional Masai dance performances in the evenings.
The sprawling natural surroundings present guests with the chance to witness the famed “Big Five” animals that call Masai Mara home: lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinoceros, and elephants. From June to September, visitors can witness the awe-inspiring great wildebeest migration, a natural spectacle where over 10 million animals trek 1,800 miles from the Serengeti in neighboring Tanzania.
