Perfect Service at Sandcastle
Experience the spirit of the Maasai Mara with the comforts that make a safari stay feel special. At White Sandcastle Mara Lodge, traditional tented accommodation, inviting spaces to relax, and memorable safari experiences come together in the setting of the Siana and Nashulai Maasai conservancies.
Whether you are travelling solo, sharing a romantic escape, or exploring Kenya as a family, our lodge offers space to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Luxury Tented Accommodation
Choose from single, double, and family room options to suit your stay. Our property features 10 distinctive, traditional clamshell-shaped luxury tents, thoughtfully positioned to make the most of privacy and views.
Raised on wooden platforms, the tents combine safari character with comfortable furnishings. Large, comfortable beds, soft rugs, and writing desks create a welcoming retreat after a day of exploring. Canvas walls and wide tent windows keep you connected to the landscape, bringing the atmosphere of the bush into your stay.
As evening settles, listen for the sounds of the surrounding wilderness. The chorus of cicadas, the distant whoop of a hyena, or perhaps the roar of a lion can become part of the experience. Wildlife sightings and sounds vary naturally, making every visit different.
Private Terraces and Sunrise Views
Each clamshell-shaped tent has its own private terrace or deck, giving you an outdoor space to enjoy the setting at your own pace.
Wake early, unzip your tent, and step outside as the first light spreads across the landscape. Enjoy a quiet moment in the morning air and watch for wildlife in the surrounding conservancy landscape. Between activities, your terrace is a peaceful place to read, relax, or simply take in the views.
Bar and Fireplace Lounge
Relax with your favourite drink at our well-stocked bar or settle into the fireplace lounge for a comfortable evening.
These shared spaces are ideal for unwinding after a day outdoors, getting to know fellow travellers, and reflecting on the day’s discoveries. From a quiet drink to a conversation beside the fire, evenings at the lodge are an opportunity to slow down.
En-suite Bathrooms and In-room Comforts
Our luxury tents are fully en-suite, with hot showers and flush toilets, allowing you to enjoy the character of a tented safari stay without giving up everyday comforts. Solar-powered lighting adds a warm glow as night falls.
Every tent includes air-conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi, helping you stay comfortable and connected throughout your visit. Other in-room amenities include comfortable beds suited to your room arrangement, a fan, mosquito nets, a writing desk, a safe, and tea- and coffee-making facilities.
Whether you are preparing for an early game drive, enjoying a quiet afternoon indoors, or settling down after dinner, your tent provides a comfortable base for your Maasai Mara adventure.
Swimming Pool
Enjoy a refreshing change of pace at our modern swimming pool. Take a dip after your safari activities or spend part of the afternoon relaxing at the lodge.
For couples, families, and solo travellers alike, the pool adds another way to enjoy the time between wildlife excursions.
Safari Activities and Local Experiences
Make your stay more memorable with activities that connect you to the wildlife, landscapes, and culture of the Maasai Mara.
Game drives offer opportunities to explore the surrounding safari landscape and search for wildlife. For a different perspective, ask about a hot-air balloon safari and the experience of seeing the plains from above.
A Maasai village visit offers an opportunity to learn about local culture and traditions. Sundowners provide a relaxed way to enjoy the changing colours of the evening, while bush meals add an outdoor dining experience to your stay.
Please enquire about activity availability, arrangements, prices, and whether your selected experiences are included in your accommodation package.
