Set in one hundred and fifty acres of grassland studded with Acacia bushes and trees, the resort is not only home to our resident giraffe, waterbuck and both Vervet and Colobus monkeys, but also a night stop for the hippos when they leave the lake every night to come and trim the grass on our expansive lawns.

Located in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha is one of the quick pitstops as you maneuver from one park to another. This property is the perfect place to spend a night or two and enjoy the resident wildlife that roams the property. This 82-room property has single, double, triple, quadruple rooms setting. There are 6 interconnecting rooms, perfect for families or bigger groups. With Crescent Island only few kms away, explore the walking safari with the wild on this jaded-blue island accessible by a short boat-ride.

Situated less than 150 meters from a crossing point on the Talek River, Rekero is a superlative safari destination year-round and perfect to view The Great Migration with crossings on your doorstep. The camp evokes the charm of African safaris from a bygone era, with nine romantic tents, and spectacular views of the surrounding game-filled plains of the world-famous Masai Mara.

Guests can watch the herd make this perilous crossing without even leaving the camp. Enjoy this and other wildlife sightings from the comfort of riverside tent or from one of the two communal decks.

Outside of migration season, one of the highlights of staying in the Masai Mara is viewing the predators that prowl these plains. It’s no coincidence that many wildlife documentaries, including BBC’s Big Cat Diary and Disney’s African Cats, have been filmed here. There is a high concentration of lions — including the resident Rekero pride — plus cheetahs and leopards.
