Keekorok
The central south of the reserve, home to a historic lodge built in the 1960s and a simple airstrip. The plains around it are on the route that migrating herds must cross.
Keekorok Lodge is one of the earliest lodges in Masai Mara. Beside it, a wetland boardwalk lets you watch hippos, and the simple airstrip nearby has flights to and from Nairobi. During migration, tens of thousands of wildebeest and zebras cover the wide plains, with lions and hyenas following close behind. Its central location makes it easy to reach the Sand River, Talek and Sekenani gates, so it is a good base for safaris.
