It is sited in the direct path of the annual migration and was the first lodge to be built in the Mara. At the height of the migration, Keekorok is surrounded by a swarming mass of animals and there is hardly need to go on a game drive. Keekorok's charm lies in the liberal use of local building materials. Sand stone, cedar wood and other indigenous materials are used in all rooms and public areas. In front of the lodge there is a 300m elevated walkway that meanders through a small riverine forest to a small bar at one end. This overlooks a dam where resident hippo and other game are regularly seen. There are no fences around Keekorok and it is not uncommon to see elephant and buffalo on the perimeter of the grounds.</p><p></p><p>Main Destination: <a href="/product/masai-mara-national-reserve/">Masai Mara National Reserve</a></p><p>Accommodation: <a href="/product/keekorok-lodge/">Keekorok Lodge</a> </p><p>Meals & Drinks: All meals included</p><p>Drinking water (Other drinks not included)</p>
