Adventure calls at JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge, the hotelier’s first luxury safari property in Africa with 20 lush private tents. Located on the edge of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s greatest wilderness regions, the landscape lets guests spot lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinoceros, and elephants.

From June-September, the reserve is the site of a spectacular sight — the annual great wildebeest migration when more than 10 million animals travel 1,800 miles from the Serengeti in neighboring Tanzania. Lavish guest spaces include a restaurant, lounge bar, spa, and a sweeping outdoor terrace where traditional Masai dance performances are held.
