Enjoy a 4-safari through the Rift Valley and stay at the Keekorok Lodge, opened in 1965 approximately 280 kilometers from Nairobi. This lodge is located on the path of annual migrations and was the first lodge to be built in the Mara. At the height of the migration, Keekorok is surrounded by wildlife and there is hardly the need to go on a game drive. In front of the lodge, there is also a 300m elevated walkway that meanders through a small riverine forest to a small bar at one end. This platform overlooks a dam where hippos and other wild animals are regularly seen.
