JW Marriott Masai Mara Resort Review
Our trip to the Masai Mara in November 2025 was amazing! We got to stay right on the property boundary of the national park with the ability to walk on a bridge from our lodge, and hop in a safari vehicle to start our wildlife viewing game drives. Bonus to that, we stayed at this…
