Mara Engai
The position and volcanic rock composition of the Esoit Siria Escarpment gives rise to lush ravine forest. This is where Mara Engai Lodge is located — nestled amongst the rich forest like a natural hide. This elevated location overlooks the wide open grasslands of the Mara and the densely populated wildlife that favours this region.
Accommodation:
Large tented suites nestled in the Kenyan ravine forest. Elevated to maximise the view and spaced over a large area to provide seclusion and privacy.
Luxurious toiletries provided in our full en-suite facilities which feature twin vanities and invigorating waterfall showers.
Special occasion? Private, in-suite dining, for a romantic breakfast , lunch, afternoon high tea, champagne and canopies or an indulgent dinner overlooking the incredible views.
Sit and relax on your private veranda, the palatial tented suites all have stunning views across the Masai Mara plains or within the ravine forest.
Dining:
The rich volcanic soil of the escarpment provides an excellent foundation for our organic garden. We have a cleverly designed irrigation system, rainwater collection and crop rotation process to ensure fresh produce all year round.
