Keekorok Lodge

Over 700 square miles of lush, sun-drenched plains encircle Keekorok Lodge, the first property in the Masai Mara Game Reserve in southwest Kenya. The lodge was opened in 1962 and is ideally situated in the direct path of the spectacular animal migration that occurs every year from July to October. Guests can experience unparalleled safari adventures, and morning and evening game drives are a must for anyone visiting the reserve.

As your plane lands at the Keekorok airstrip, you will find yourself in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. You will be picked up in your own 4x4 Land Cruiser at the airstrip and, after passing a family of elephants or a herd of zebras on the short drive to the lodge, Keekorok Lodge will welcome you with open arms. _{by sunafricahotels}

This may be the oldest lodge in the Mara, but thanks to a recent makeover the 101 rooms are modern, bright and tastefully decorated with tribal arts and crafts. As well as being in the middle of the Mara, you also have manicured gardens and a wooden boardwalk that leads to a gazebo overlooking a hippo pool. The entire place feels like an expensive country club, though it's not exactly intimate. Check its website for last-minute fly-in packages that include full board and game drives. _{by lonelyplanet}
