One of Kenya’s most exclusive hotels in Maasai Mara is wooing rich Ugandans, Tanzanians and Rwandese travellers yearning for a luxurious holiday in the wilderness.

JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge General Manager Barnabas Wamoto says for a long time, high-earning East African travellers have lacked a variety in terms of exclusive, exquisitely designed lodges offering luxury holiday experiences, forcing them to often vacation in Dubai, South Africa, and the US.
