Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Talek River, Mara Simba Lodge is a classic safari retreat designed for travelers who appreciate the harmony between authentic bush life and comfortable lodge living. Spanning almost 1km of river frontage, the lodge is built using indigenous materials and stone to blend seamlessly into the lush riverine forest, offering an immersive 'out-of-Africa' experience.

Mara Simba Lodge is strategically positioned in the heart of the Masai Mara, perched on a dramatic bend of the Talek River. Its location is a significant advantage for game viewing, as the lodge sits within one of the reserve's most active wildlife corridors.

Access Details:

• Strategic Entry: The lodge lies between the Sekenani and Talek gates, allowing for efficient access to both the central plains and the Talek region of the reserve.

• Connectivity: For fly-in guests, the lodge is easily reachable from several local airstrips, including the nearby Olseki Naboisho Airstrip, connecting travelers from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport in under an hour.

• Proximity: Its river-bank location ensures that wildlife—including elephants and big cats—are often seen or heard directly from the lodge grounds, offering a truly 'wild' experience without sacrificing convenience.
