Ngerende Island Lodge is an elegant new property situated on an oxbow in the Mara River, surrounded by water on almost all sides. The lush vegetation, river views, luxurious accommodation and superb game viewing make this an ideal spot in which to spend several days.
The 7 tented suites are spaced well apart to ensure privacy and seclusion. They are contemporary in design, set on raised platforms and have polished mahogany floors extending out to the private terrace. The open plan sleeping and living area is spacious and inviting. All suites have an open fireplace, bathroom with massage shower and a separate open air bath. The terraces overlook the Mara River, with its resident pods of hippo. The honeymoon suite also has a plunge pool and jacuzzi. All rooms have a personal butler.
The main building houses the dining room, which has a veranda with expansive views of the river and hippo pool. There is a library and a sitting room with open fires as well as a small bar. Bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners can be arranged. There is an infinity swimming pool and a spa offering a range of restorative and pampering treatments including aromatherapy and massage.
Ngerende Island Lodge is located in the Olchoro Conservancy just outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Morning and afternoon game drives are offered and full day drives can be arranged. Night game drives give guests the chance to glimpse shy nocturnal species. Other activities available include guided bush walks, bird watching and visits to local schools. Alternatively, guests can relax on their own veranda and watch the hippos in the river.
The lodge is just 2 kilometers from an airstrip, so is easily accessible.
