Set in the Oloolaimutia valley the lodge
blends in perfectly with its surrounding hillside landscape.
The accent here is on the Masai people and the fabulous
wealth of wildlife, birdlife, and natural flora to be
found in the fabled Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Location: The lodge is located 206 km south of
the Equator on the eastern boundary of the Masai Mara
Game Reserve in south-western Kenya, 2km from the Oloolaimutia
Gate. Access to the lodge is via a tarmac road from
Nairobi to Narok and an all weather road thereafter
and it takes about five hours. The alternative is a
one hour scheduled or chartered flight from Nairobi
to Keekorok airstrip from where transfers to the lodge
can be arranged with prior notice.
Accommodation & amenities: The lodge has
200 beds by way of 77 rooms, 12 suites and 1 presidential
suite, all of which are 'rondavel' style and have en-suite
bathroom facilities which provide shaving sockets and
hairdryers. Every room and suite has a private, elevated
verandah with splendid views across the valley and on
which guests can relax, sunbathe and watch resident
birds and wildlife. Mini-bars are also available in
each room. Altitude & Climate: The lodge has an
altitude of 2,104 meters (6,400 feet) above sea level
and, because of the cool breezes through the valley
it is sited in, enjoys warm days and cool evenings.
The April / June, October / November rainy seasons ensure
that the reserve is verdant almost throughout the year.
Clothing: Only the lightest of clothes are recommended
although a light sweater might be needed for early mornings
and evenings. More formal attire might be advisable
for cocktails and theme evenings while swimwear is a
must by the pool.
Communication: The lodge has direct-dial telephone
facilities as well as satellite television and video
options.
Guest Facilities: The lodge has a 160 sq meter
(1,500 sq feet) conference room as well as other designated
areas for conferences, presentations, cocktail parties
and private functions which can host upwards of 120
guests. Over and above this they can provide and cater
for any size of birthday or anniversary party, bush
breakfasts, lunches or barbecues, sundowner cocktail
parties, gala dinners or theme evenings. The Guest Shop
stocks a wide selection of curios, gift items, clothing,
film and toiletries. The lodge has a freeform, fresh-water
pool which offers spectacular views over the valley.
Children: Children of all ages are welcome and
special meals at convenient times and baby sitters on
request can be provided.
Activities: Balloon safaris, visits to Masai
manyattas and walking safaris can be arranged at the
reception area.
Electricity: Lodge generators provide 240volts,
