The Mara River Lodge has one of the most stunning vistas in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem; the lodge is located on the Mara River on the outskirts of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and overlooks deep pools where crocodiles and hippos sunbathe all day. The lodge, which is painted in traditional Maasai red ochre and lighted by hundreds of lanterns, is surrounded by indigenous trees and plants and is an appealing addition to the local ecosystem. As guests sit down to savor the world cuisine on offer, they can observe hippos across the river from their seats. Hippos and their families spend the day sunning in the deep pools beyond the cafes and restaurants. Maasai warriors in full costume greet tourists as they return after a hot day’s safari.
With 45 fully-equipped rooms and astonishing amenities that mirror the rustic beauty of an African safari, Mara River Safari Lodge Hotel is one of the top family-friendly getaways in Bali.
