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 property for almost completely free due to Marriott Bonvoy points we had accumulated. You can do it too!

How We Flew Business Class On Points
Ahhhh…business class flights, it is something my husband and I have always dreamed of but never felt like we could afford. These flights can cost upwards of $10,000 per person (sometimes more!). That can really rack up a total trip cost when you add those to your plans (and most of cannot afford this kind of travel budget!).
Why We Love Southwest Points
We have an affinity for Southwest Airlines. Why? So many reasons! We have flown for nearly FREE for the last two years on this airline because of certain credit card points!
