Mara Engai Lodge

Mara Engai Lodge is a luxury safari lodge located on a quiet, hilltop glade on the Oloololo Siria Escarpment. An awesome setting for your wondrous Kenyan Safari Vacation. Overlooking the amazing Masai Mara National Reserve and Wildebeest Migration Route, with around 120km of unbroken views across the vast savannah of the Masai Mara, it is simply breathtaking. Wonder at the most amazing views over the Masai Mara and Great Migration route from your own private veranda. You are secluded from all other uproar in your spacious tent in complete privacy, where the only subtle intrusion is the discreet services of the staff catering to your needs.

Due to Mara Engai’s continual commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, ongoing conscious thinking and community activation, they have earned a Gold Eco-rating with Eco Tourism Kenya.

Indulge in fine dining, with delicious treats made from fresh produce from the organic gardens. Get back to nature on thrilling game drives and experience thousands of years of Maasai tradition. Then, before you sink into your large, comfortable bed, take a look up at the mass of twinkling stars in the clear African sky — it’s something everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.
