Maasai Mara National Park Lodges| Reserve Accommodation Tented Camps | Migration Safaris |
Game lodges also called safari lodges, tented camps, private houses and campsites are all found in Mara Game Reserve. The tented camps and safari lodges in Masai Mara fall under three categories- luxury, mid range and budget. While only 12 properties are inside the Mara reserve others are in the neighboring group ranches. Does it matter where you spend the night while in Mara? Yes. If you are interested night game drives and lots of local culture then you can stay in the group ranches. Group ranches are privately run by the local people. However unplanned development coupled with large number of visitors threatens the very survival of the reserve. Large numbers of visitors are associated with high degree of pollution in terms of noise, dust and changed animal behavior which can lead to extinction of venerable species like the cheetah which hunts only during the day.
