Amid the vast sweeping plains of the savannah stand Keekorok, the Masai Mara's first game lodge, in the direct path of the spectacular annual wildebeest migration.

Built in 1962, on the site of a hunting camp, against the backdrop of Kenya's most magnificent scenery, Keekorok boasts an abundance of wildlife.

The name Keekorok is derived from a Maasai word denoting a species of blacked-barked trees that are endemic to the area.

A stream flowing in front of the lodge was dammed in 1972 to form a lake that quickly attracted resident families of hippos and this led to the construction of an elevated walkway from which to view them and the abundant birdlife.

Total reconstruction of all public areas was embarked upon in April 2005 flowing a fire that gutted the main building. The chalets and cottages were completely refurbished and modernized during reconstruction in 2005 with indigenous materials such as cedar, pink and gray sand river stone, which offset the green lawns and colorful bougainvillea.

Keekorok Lodge has 89 standard rooms, 9 superior rooms (4 with interconnecting doors) and the Government House -  a 3-bedroom, private house with its own sitting room.

All rooms have a private bathroom and toilet. Toiletries are provided.
