Mara Simba has been designed so as to present a safari resort, Styled to reflect the iconic colours and cultural artifacts of the Maasai people, who are the original owners of this land, it offers a peaceful retreat from the adventure and experience of the traditional safari. Situated on the banks of the Talek River, the lifeblood of this region, it extends for one kilometre, amid typical savannah and indigenous forest landscape. Wide, well-lit pathways link the rooms with the central restaurant and bar areas, where log fires are lit nightly. The resort offers a swimming pool, a wide range of evening entertainment, daily game drives through the expanse of this famous reserve, and a gift shop.
