Keekorok Lodge
Keekorok's charm lies in the liberal use of local building materials. Sand stone, cedar wood and other indigenous materials are used in all rooms and public areas.
The lodge offers 10 single and 79 twin rooms, and they have their own verandah with excellent views of the Reserve. All have bathrooms en- suite with a toilet and either a shower or both. Most of the rooms have mosquito gauze covering the windows and each room is shaded by shingle roof.
Located in the very heart of Kenya’s fabled Masai Mara National Reserve, Keekorok, meaning diverse abundance in the local Maasai language, was constructed in 1962 on an 80 acre site in an area of permanent springs and lush grassland. All kinds of animals and birds abound here. Many species of mammals and reptiles, and an astonishing amount of birds have been recorded in the reserve.

Sited in the direct path of the wildebeest migration, Keekorok Lodge was the first to be built in the Masai Mara. At the height of the migration, Keekorok is surrounded by a swarming mass of animals and there is hardly need to go for a game drive.
A 300m walkway meanders through the riverine forest in front of the lodge with a small bar at one end. It is overlooking a dam where the resident hippo, if he is not on a walk about, finds his observers as fascinating as they find him.
All is based on Full Board, which includes morning tea or coffee, breakfast, luncheon, afternoon tea and dinner. Luncheon boxes are available by prior request for guests taking all-day game drives.
