Kenya Safaris: Mara Simba Lodge  

Mara Simba Lodge (Kenya - Masai Mara 5 )

Mara Simba was conceived, not just as an overnight stop, but as a safari resort, as the ultimate lodge in the Masai Mara. The emphasis is on exclusivity and comfort and the ambience is Masai, with the decor incorporating both decorative and design elements from the culture of this tribe. The grounds of the lodge extend almost a kilometre along the Talek River. The river bank is left in its virgin state, while further back lush landscaped gardens of indigenous plants and trees attract colourful birds and butterflies. Wide, well-lit pathways link guest rooms and the public areas where beautiful wooden floors are shaded by soaring makuti roofs (palm thatch). The dining room and bar have stone fireplaces where roaring fires are lit on chilly evenings.
