This built infrastructure, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Francis Kéré, is located only a short distance outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve and guests will have the opportunity to visit, should they wish to.

This period offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and pleasant weather conditions. However, in the Mara, any time of year is magical and different seasons offer different opportunities for game viewing.
