Masai guides lead guests on night drives or walks and use animal-friendly spotlights to illuminate nocturnal creatures. Suites overlook a salt lick that attracts one of the highest densities of lions in Africa. On occasion, guests may find a lion’s kill in the morning. From $380. 254/(0) 73-333- 3909.
