Mara Simba Lodge

Mara Simba Lodge

Maasai Mara

Located in the heart of the iconic Maasai Mara this simple lodge offers a welcome stop on your safari. Sitting on the banks of the Talek river it has been built to blend in with the natural surroundings. It’s conveniently located for going out on game drives and in between adventures there’s a lovely pool area to relax in.

The grounds of the Mara Simba stretch for almost a kilometre along the riverbank and are ideal for spotting all manner of game, that come to drink on the river’s edge. During the great migration over a million wildebeest and 300,000 zebra pass by to cross the Mara River.
The pretty landscaped gardens around the lodge are filled with indigenous trees and are home a great variety of birds and butterflies.

There’s a swimming pool, as well as a restaurant and bar. The lodge is decorated in traditional Maasai style and both the public areas and rooms give you a real feeling of Africa.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
