MaraKaya Safari Lodge is a curated safari destination rooted in calm sophistication and unfiltered connection with nature. Set for opening 2026, our lodge blends immersive wildlife experiences with elegant design, thoughtful service, and quiet luxury throughout every guest journey.
The Lodge is the central gathering space, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. With a thoughtfully curated food concept, spa, infinity pool, and stargazing deck, it’s designed for shared experiences and unhurried moments, while the number of rooms remains intentionally limited for privacy and exclusivity.
We are committed to respectful stewardship of the land and its inhabitants. MaraKaya supports conservation principles that protect biodiversity, promote sustainable hospitality practices, and enrich community engagement. Every visit contributes to deeper appreciation — and protection — of this remarkable ecosystem.
Manyoni Private Game Reserve is a fully established Big Five destination, offering diverse habitats that support an impressive range of wildlife.
Guests can expect encounters with: Lion | Leopard | Elephant | Rhino | Buffalo
Beyond the Big Five, the reserve is also home to cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and a variety of antelope species that move across open savannah and woodland terrain.
For birding enthusiasts, over 350 recorded bird species have been documented within the reserve — from raptors to seasonal migrants.
As with all authentic safari destinations, wildlife moves freely across the landscape. Sightings can never be guaranteed. That said, our experienced ranger and tracker team know the reserve intimately and consistently deliver rewarding, well-tracked encounters. Safari here is natural, not staged.
Thoughtfully curated treatments invite deep relaxation, renewal, and a sense of calm.
