Keekorock lodge

Keekorock lodge is found in the Maasai game reserve and was the first lodge to be built in Game Park. It is built with cedar and stone buildings that provide luxurious experience to accommodation for guests. It is suited for those weekend getaways especially those who are interested in seeing a large variety of game in a short period of time since the wildlife tends to roam around within a very short distance of the lodge.
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 (notorious crocodiles along the Mara River), plus over four hundred bird species. My guess is that Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant and alive than at the most elegant, amazing and spectacular Keekorock lodge.
The most fascinating thing about Keekorok Lodge is that it is situated in the direct path of the famous wildebeest migration that was recently named as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. At the height of the migration, the area around Keekorok is surrounded by animals which you can be viewed 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. Travel time from the city centre is approximately three to four hours.
Being the oldest lodge, the ancient British designs of the lodge are a magnificent sight to behold since it was initially built almost like a castle as a home for one of the colonial generals. The compound furthermore comprises of green lawns with colorful bougainvillea along the walls of the lodge. Security is ample, mostly shielding holiday spenders from stray wild animals.
The eighty nine standard rooms, which includes 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 in the Maasai Mara.
The cuisine menus range from open breakfast Buffets to specially prepared African food like Matoke, Mukimo and Nyama choma that is roasted to perfection. The list is endless but the staff never tires from offering quality services to their beloved guest.
This is one place that truly lives to the adage that say, Old is Gold as it lives to this up until today.
