For a truly authentic African safari experience, Mara Engai Lodge is uniquely positioned to provide front-row seats to one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows. Overlooking the great wildebeest migration route through the Maasai Mara, the lodge sits at the top of the Oloololo (Siria) Escarpment, in the heart of the Kenyan ravine forest. 

Mara Engai is more than a home away from home – each luxury tent is secluded and intimate, with your own private deck providing breathtaking views as far as the eye can see. At night, enjoy the chorus of crickets and cicadas with that special someone under a wide expanse of stars that blankets the sky above you. As you sleep, the silence is broken only by the sounds of animals calling out to each other in the distance. 

The lodge is designed to blend into the environment’s natural surroundings and the stunning scenery is the perfect backdrop to shared stories and laughs after a day in the reserve. A sundowner accompanied by tasty canapés is always the perfect end to the day, watching the sun set during Africa’s golden hour. 

Each game drive in our specially adapted all-terrain Pinzgauer vehicles is a thrilling adventure to seek out the ‘Big Five’ (lion, leopard, African elephant, African buffalo, and black rhinoceros). Because our corner of the Mara Triangle is less crowded with tourists, you can expect to find more animals grazing on the plains. From hyenas to cheetahs, giraffes, jackals, antelopes, hippopotami and crocodiles, plus 470 species of birds, you’re bound to come away with incredible wildlife sightings to chat about over sundowners out in the bush. 

As a gold eco-rated lodge, Mara Engai is devoted to sustainable tourism and committed to protecting the local environment. You’re guaranteed an eco-friendly safari experience that contributes positively to the local community and stays true to thousands of years of Maasai tradition.
