Keekorock lodge

Keekorock lodge in the Maasai game reserve was the first lodge to be built in this reserve. The cedar and stone buildings provide luxurious accommodation for guests interested in seeing the large variety of game which roams within a very short distance of the lodge.
The most fascinating thing about Keekorok Lodge is that it is situated in the direct path of the famous wildebeest migration. At the height of the migration, the area around Keekorok is surrounded by animals which you can view from the lodge itself especially from the walkway leading out into the open area near the lodge. Also the lodge is very near Nairobi thereby attracting the residents of this town.
Early morning and afternoon game drives offer animal encounters unparalleled in the world all round the year. Imagine being greeted by ninety five species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles plus over four hundred bird species. My guess is that Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant and alive than there at Keekorock.
The eighty nine standard rooms, eight superior rooms and four suites rooms are well constructed to suite the needs and pockets of all their clients. What’s more the rooms are well ventilated and air conditioned to shelter clients from the harsh African sun that tends to really shine on this land. The compound comprises of green lawns with colorful bougainvillea along the walls of the lodge.
Other facilities include a swimming pool, open bar and professionally trained staff who are only too willing to offer the best services in town. Lectures on the Maasai culture / ethnic group are held regularly to touring groups.
The lodge however should not be excused for not maintaining the finished chipped off walls outside the lodge. Instead they should try to constantly improve the exterior surface. Other than that, the lodge is a good place for both the family and co-operate groups that are on Safari.
