Keekorok Lodge is sited in the direct path of the Wildebeest Migration and was the first lodge to be built in the Masai Mara and At the height of the migration, the lodge is surrounded by a swarming mass of animals and there is hardly need to go for a game drive. A 300m walkway meanders through the riverine forest in front of Keekorok Lodge with a small bar at one end overlooking a dam where the resident hippo, if he is not on ‘walk about’ finds his observers as fascinating as they find him.
Keekorok Lodge is right in the path of the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. There is always plenty of activity around the waterhole but during the migration, the lodge is enveloped by the swarming mass of animals. One need hardly venture from ground to view game. From the verandah, and from Kiboko, there is plenty to see. One unfortunate zebra met its end right in front of the dinning room, providing supper for a pride of hungry lions, and 'live' entertainment for enthralled guests at Keekorok Lodge.
Keekorok Lodge in Masai Mara has been the greatest show on earth. A company of three millions animals migrating over a year, every year, for the past two millions years.
