What people are saying about the new JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge in Kenya:

Vogue:

“In the heart of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, the first luxury safari property from JW Marriott offers adventurous game drives alongside all of the five-star mod-cons you’d expect from an international hotel brand. Highlights include the tranquil atmosphere of the outdoor pool and spa area, as well as top-tier service and close ties to the local Maasai community.”

 Afar:

“Rise before sunset and jump in an open-air Toyota Land Cruiser to get a glimpse of predators and large herbivores like elephants, while also taking time to appreciate the smaller things on nature walks and bird-watching excursions. Luxuriate around camp in your own tent or in the communal areas, which include a lounge bar, dining area, spa, gym, and outdoor viewing deck with a fire pit.”

Conde Nast Traveler:

“Forget about JW Marriott’s typical gleaming high-rise hotels and mega resorts. For Marriott’s first foray into the safari game, the brand has kept things appropriately snug with just 20 tents pitched up on the bushy banks of the Maasai Mara’s Talek River . . . The small-scale, anything-goes vibe makes it feel un-Marriott in the best possible way.”
