The Fairmont Mara Safari Club has opened following an extensive renovation program. Surrounded on three sides by the Mara River- and on the edge of the world*s Seventh *New* Wonder of the World – the Masai Mara - Fairmont Mara Safari Club is the epitome of tented luxury. The main lodge at the center of camp hosts an indoor restaurant- bar and library with Internet access to keep the relatives up to date with safari adventures. A spacious outside deck overhangs the river and leads to a heated pool- complete with bar and private massage tents. With four poster- pillow-top beds and a veranda overlooking the hippo and crocodile-filled river- each of the 50 tents at Fairmont Mara Safari Club is superbly furnished with its own private- three-piece bathroom- including a number of *outdoor showers* in select tents. The larger-sized accommodations also feature expanded decks which allow for private dining- a new service. Outdoor dining has been enhanced with the creation of a boma- a structure influenced by traditional homesteads- where guests can enjoy a cultural dinner reflecting not only African cuisine but also rich musical accompaniment. Guests can choose from a wide range of activities at Fairmont Mara Safari Club resort hotel- including game drives and balloon safaris over the Mara plains capped with a champagne breakfast on the savannah or a stroll in the footprints of the hippo-trodden path escorted by a Masai Moran. The location provides a perfect base for visiting the Masai Mara- one of the world*s richest wildlife reserves- and home to an astounding array of animals including zebras- cheetahs- wildebeests- gazelles and of course the *Big Five*.
