Mara Simba Lodge

Mara Simba Lodge offers a classic safari experience from a privileged position within Kenya’s iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve. Situated along the lush banks of the Talek River, the lodge is thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with its natural surroundings. This prime riverside setting provides a serene and immersive base, offering guests front-row access to the untamed theatre of the African bush. The main lodge and surrounding accommodations are positioned to maximize views, ensuring that the wilderness is a constant, captivating presence throughout your stay. The lodge's location is a natural magnet for wildlife. From the comfort of the grounds, guests can often observe elephants, giraffes, and various antelope species as they gather at the river to drink. The surrounding landscape is the quintessential Maasai Mara: vast, golden savannahs dotted with acacia trees, providing the perfect habitat for the Big Five. Between July and October, Mara Simba Lodge becomes an exceptional vantage point for witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration, a truly unforgettable spectacle of nature as vast herds cross the plains. Days at Mara Simba are filled with discovery and adventure. Expertly guided game drives take you deep into the reserve for intimate encounters with lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. These personalized excursions are tailored to showcase the best of the Mara's daily drama. As evening approaches, the experience shifts to tranquil reflection. Guests can partake in scenic sundowner sessions, enjoying cocktails while watching the sun set over the plains. Later, gather around a cosy bonfire under the vast, star-lit African sky, sharing stories of the day's sightings. Accommodation is provided in spacious rooms and chalets that prioritize both comfort and privacy. Each residence is tastefully appointed, featuring natural materials and designs that reflect the bush environment while offering modern amenities. After a day of exploration, guests can unwind at the central lodge area, which houses a welcoming restaurant and a well-stocked bar and lounge. The inviting swimming pool offers a refreshing escape from the midday heat, while the on-site massage parlour provides a further opportunity for rest and rejuvenation before another day of adventure begins.
