Masai Mara

The main lodge at the centre of the camp hosts an indoor restaurant, a bar and a library with internet access to keep the relatives up to date with safari adventures.
A spacious outside deck overhangs the river and leads to a heated pool, complete with bar and private massage tents.
Outdoor dining can be enjoyed in the boma, a structure influenced by traditional homesteads, where guests can enjoy delicious African, Asian and European cuisine accompanied by Masai dancing shows.
Each of the 50 en-suite tents at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club are spread along an ox-bow of the Mara River.
The tents are all superbly furnished and each one has its own private veranda overlooking the hippo and crocodile-filled river.
