Top 6-Kenya Africa Mara Lodge & Camp Accommodation
Maasai Mara Accommodation Hotel Lodges and Camps
Maasai Mara is heaving with top-end lodges houses and luxury tented camps-with plenty cash the plains are your oyster. Budget and midrange travelers, however, are limited to a few campsites around Oloolaimutiek and Talek gates.
Budget & midrange accommodation in Masai Mara
While outside the Oloolaimutiek gate, these camps are within the reserve and sleeping here will incur park fees (even if the camps state otherwise)
1. Acacia camp
Thatched roofs shelter closely spaced, Spartan semi-permanent tents in this quaint camp. Theyre slightly cheaper (s/tw US$ 30) without bedding. There are numerous cooking areas, a bar and a campfire pit, but no restaurant. Bathrooms are clean and hot water flows in the evening. The only downside for campers is the lack of shade.
2. Simba Camp
Next to acacia camp, this disheveled campsite has tin-toilet shacks and no running water. Dog-eared tents (some with beds, some without) are for rent at Kshs 900. Prices include a security fee.

3. Siana tented camp lodge
This tented camp offers comfort without letting luxury intrude on the African experience. The best tents dot the edge of a beautiful clearing (bamboo group)- the spacing is generous, so privacy is guaranteed. The lovely log beds and massive shower heads are definite standouts; Siana is 16km outside Sekenani gate. Prices at this Masai Mara camp are s/d US$150/350 low season and US$260/350 in high season.
4. Keekorok Lodge hall
This has always been a great option, with bungalows, cabins and cottages on offer. After major renovations were completed in mid-2005, its now better than ever. It has the usual top-end facilities, with the added attraction of a hippo pool. Prices at the Keekorok Kenya safari park lodge range from s/d US $140/180 in low season and US$ 200/250 in high season.
5. Sarova Mara Lodge
The polar opposite of the Siana springs, Sarovas semi-permanent tents reek of luxury and bush charm. Prices at this safari park camp are s/d US$ 80/140 in low and US $ 160/210 in high season.
6. Mara Simba lodge house
Large log sided cabins house comfortable rooms with plank floors, balconies and fans-ask for upstairs rooms as they boast better views. Prices in this animal park lodge range from US$ 100/150 in low and US$ 180/250 in high season.
There are more Maasai Mara lodges and camps in the North section near the famous Mara River with better views of the blue wildebeest river crossings. These luxury safari park lodge rental and camps are serialized in my next article on accommodation park hotels in the Mara Kenya.
Though mostly on the expensive side, most lodges in the Mara offer unparalleled bush accommodation worth the money. You can liaise with your Kenya tour operator or Kenya travel Safari Company to advice on the best options and Kenya lodge reservations depending on your budget.
By and large Masai Mara accommodation can range from cheapest us$30 a night camps with basic facilities to the most exclusive and luxury camps at obscene rates of over US$ 1000 a night in high season.
