Mara - Mara Safari Club
The luxurious Mara Safari Club is set in the Ol-Choro Oiroua Conservation
Area, bordering the Masai Mara Game Reserve, at the foot of the Aitong Hills.
Surrounded on three sides by the Mara River, all tents have their own private
river frontage, with four-poster beds, verandah, electricity, modern en-suite
facilities with hot and cold running water.
The
main building, with lounge, bar and dining room is cantilevered over the river.
Game drives, guided by our experienced "driver-naturalists", are by
four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser. At the club, the pool, al fresco buffet lunches
and nightly activities of Masai dancing, slide shows and talks on the Mara's ecosystem
and Masai culture, all add up to create a truly unique experience. The
Mara Safari Club is a four-hour drive from Nairobi, or a forty-five minute flight
from Wilson Airport (Nairobi) with a ten-minute drive from Ngerende Airstrip.  Day
