Your Destinations

Masai Mara
The Masai Mara is known as one of Africa's Greatest Wildlife Reserves, situated in southwest Kenya. It is famous for its abundance of big cats - lion, leopard and cheetah - the Great Wildebeest Migration and its countless zebras.

Your Lodge is located in the Mara Triangle  - the North-Western part of the Masai Mara National Reserve, and is managed by the not-for-profit organisation The Mara Conservancy on behalf of Trans-Mara County Council (Trans Mara District).

Divided from the rest of the Masai Mara National Reserve by the Mara River, the Mara Triangle is less visited and less crowded, often with many more game animals grazing on the plains and between the volcanic hills that distinguish this corner of the Mara.

The unique, specially adapted 6×6 Pinzgauer vehicles for game viewing will lead you via a private road directly from the Lodge to the gated Mara Triangle.
Chale Island
Chale Island is a small romantic island situated 600 metres off the mainland.  Lying just four degrees south of the equator and a tiny 1,2 km long and 0,8 km wide, Chale Island offers you a choice of worlds that no other island can equal.

Coral seas abundant with fish life, coastal forests and mangroves teeming with bird and insect life, snow white beaches offering safe warm bathing, and of course Kenya’s world famous safari parks.

The Sands Resort lies in 15 acres of indigenous ancient forest, with a stunning 10,000 square metre white sand bay which is protected by a vibrant coral reef.

With an explosion of colorful flora and fauna, the island is truly magical and if that is not enough, also features a mystical inland tidal mangrove lake.
