David Livingstone Safari Resort |
|
David
Livingstone Safari Resort
commands spectacular views in
the Serengeti-Mara eco-system;
it lines the Mara River on the
edge of the Maasai Mara Game
Reserve and overlooks deep pools
infested with hippos and
crocodiles.
 Painted in
traditional Maasai red ochre and
lit by hundreds of hurricane
lamps, the lodge makes an
immediate impression: guests are
met by Maasai warriors in full
regalia. The lodge has piped hot
water, electric light and
comfortable beds.
The lodge’s 80 en suite rooms
all have views of the Mara River
from their verandas. The world’s
biggest land migration passes
the very gates. Wildebeest and
zebra in search of grazing cross
the plains and rivers under the
eyes of ravenous lion and
crocodile.

Keekorok Lodge |
|
At the
southern end of the Mara, right
in the path of the annual
migration of wildebeest and
zebras path, lies Keekorok
Lodge. There is always plenty of
activity around the waterhole
but during the migration, the
lodge is enveloped by the
swarming mass of animals. One
need hardly venture from ground
to game view. From the verandah
and f rom Kiboko Bar, there is
plenty to see. One unfortunate
zebra met its end right in front
of the dinning room, providing
supper for a pride of hungry
lions, and 'live' entertainment
for enthralled guests at
Keekorok.
Accommodation
at Keekorok Lodge is in
bungalows, single story blocks,
and in comfortable shaded
chalets. The liberal use of
cedar wood, pink and gray sand
river stone, and other
indigenous building materials
offset the green lawns and
colorful bougainvillea. After a
day in the fresh air, the
excitement of game spotting, a
refreshing dip in the swimming
pool, and the ritual of
sundowners by the roaring log
fire in the lounge heralds an
evening full of traditional
Maasai dancing, cultural or
wildlife lectures and videos
with yet another of those
remarkable Keekorok dinners.
