Expect to pay from $500 to $1,500 per night, including meals and some activities. Most hotels are located in private conservancies near the Masai Mara National Reserve, offering direct wildlife viewing. Amenities typically include outdoor pools, spa facilities, free Wi-Fi, and airport shuttles. Book during the dry season (July-October) for the Great Migration, and consider the inclusive packages that cover game drives and park fees.
