About

Laid-back riverside safari lodge offering a restaurant & a bar, plus an outdoor pool & game drives.

Riverside lodge where you can spot crocodiles and hippos from your balcony, super close to the Maasai Mara gate. Food's surprisingly good with real variety, tents are luxurious, and Mark from the staff makes sure everything's sorted—just bring light luggage since some tents are a hike from reception.

    I highly recommend this hotel — the value for money is excellent. We stayed in mid-January and the whole team was fantastic. The room was clean, the atmosphere was cozy and peaceful, and we slept really well, the food was surprisingly good, and from our balcony we could see the river and even spot wildlife like warthogs, gazelles, and hippos. The safari was also amazing.

    Had a wonderful holiday, it was exquisite and the lodge was exceptional, the accommodation was well maintained, clean and the staff was welcoming and very accommodating, given that we had a very erratic schedule. Want ro thank the management and staff who were very kind and always had smiles. Thanks once again will be looking forward to our next visit.🙏🏻🙏🏻

    This is an amazing place set right in the Maasi Mara Reserve. The rooms, food and service were all top notch. The view from my balcony was the Masai River and saw Crocodiles, and Hippos right from my balcony.

    Amazing hotel. The food was sooo delicious with a wonderful variety which satisfies people of all cultures! The tent was clean comfortable and big luxurious washrooms. The only advice I'd give is to have luggage trolleys and small caddy cars as tents and some rooms are very far from reception so it would be easier to commute. Otherwise we had a fabulous stay with top notch service 👍

    We had a wonderful 4 nights stay in Mara Simba Lodge. The staff is super kind and friendly. Mark handled us from arrival and would make sure everything is okay for us. The rooms are comfortable, the food is fresh and has a good variety. The lodge is also super close to the Maasai Mara Park gate (
