Intro

Mara House is Asilia Africa's most recent addition to their collection of private safari houses. Mara House is situated in a secluded valley amongst the Lemek Hills in the game rich Mara North Conservancy. Located in the same valley as Acacia House this three bedroom bush home is designed to suit a couple, small group or family on safari.

Highlights

Mara House comes with a full complement of well-trained and experienced staff at guests disposal including a chef, wildlife guide and house manager to ensure a seamlessly-run safari experience which delivers the very best the Mara has to offer. It is an opportunity to explore this wilderness from a private bush home in the company of your personal Masai guide on your own terms.

Accommodation

Designed to reflect the success of both Topi and Acacia houses we have once again placed with all the main living areas at the front. These lead onto the verandah so all can enjoy the wonderful views down to the game rich waterhole. It is here and at the nearby pool (shared with Acacia House) that much of the day is passed when not out and exploring. The three double rooms are all ensuite and spacious living areas mean the group staying here have plenty of indoor as well as outdoor space. Your private team will prepare all meals to the usual high standard and will cater for bush picnics or lunches under the acacia trees by the pool.
