Overview
Nestled on the banks of the Mara River in the northwestern sector of the Maasai Mara, Fairmont Mara Safari Club offers a sublime blend of luxury, wildlife and African wilderness. Over the course of a 3-5 day stay, you’ll awaken to dawn game drives where the landscape swarms with iconic wildlife—the Big Five, herds of wildebeest, graceful giraffes, prowling big cats—all under vast sky. Evenings bring bush-dinners, sundowners overlooking the plains, and the soothing calls of the wild. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, or with family, the setting allows both adventure and rest, indulgence and immersion.
The Fairmont Mara Safari Club is a high-end tented lodge located at the foot of the Aitong Hills in the Olchoro Oirowua Conservancy, bordering the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. It features spacious tents with four-poster beds, private decks overlooking the Mara River (with hippos and crocodiles visible from the deck), some with outdoor showers. Amenities include solar-heated water, wireless Internet in public areas, a restaurant and lounge, a swimming pool, spa/massage tent, and cultural experiences with the local Maasai.
