Resort / Camp / Hotel near or inside Mara Reserve
Save

Dear all,

Please suggest a Camp / Resort / Hotel to stay for 3 nights near Mara reserve. We want to take 3 - 4 safaris inside Main Mara Reserve.

Also please suggest a Hotel / Camp / Resort near to a Conservancy which is good for Wild Life sighting.

first of all you have to know that you will pay 80 dollars per person per day for mara national park and 70 dollars per day if staying in conservancy

so if staying 3 nights 80x3 =240 dollars per person will be just park fees....excluding lodge acc...

there are plenty of accomodations both inside and outside mara......and all are expensive....

if you want to stay in budget accomodations then you have to stay outside park and conservancy..near sekenani or talek gate

check in booking.com for a rough idea about prices for various lodges..

Although Ilkeliani camp is not too far from the Talek gate, cattle are allowed to enter into the park in that area. When I stayed there, we had to drive for a long time into the park before seeing any wildlife. The cattle eat the grass so the grazers, like the impala and gazelles go elsewhere. That means not much food for lions and leopards so they move further inside the park.

I just spent 4 nights at offbeat Mara in Mara north conservancy it was amazing. I didn't go into reserve itself during my stay for game drives as here was a lot of wildlife right in the conservancy and very few other vehicles.

KP - there are more then 300 camps/lodges in and around the Mara. So your question is quite open ended.

If you give us your budget per person, people may be able to guide you better. Also are you looking at flying in, or driving in. All of this would need to be taken into consideration.
