Each tent is designed to offer a classic safari feel without compromising on comfort.
Amenities: Built with traditional grass thatching and set on an elevated deck, the main lodge includes a breezy open-air lounge and relaxed dining area, both offering panoramic views of the river below. Guests can enjoy culturally inspired meals and unwind by the bonfire or on the game-viewing deck. Complimentary laundry service, secure parking, and mobile connectivity are available, along with a small gift shop supporting local Maasai artisans.
