Just after devastating floods in the Maasai Mara Game reserve in May this year, a revamp of most lodges and campsites that were adversely affected has been completed in readiness for the high peak tourist season that starts in July.

The reserve is popular with tourists yearning to see especially the “big five” – buffalo, elephant, leopard, rhino and lion – and the spectacular wildebeest migration expected to occur soon as has been happening over the years.

Heavy rains left at least 12 lodges and tented campsites at Maasai Mara game reserve destroyed after some rivers burst their banks, with PrideInn Mara Camp hotel, as were most hotels was among those destroyed by floods, fully commencing normal operations.

Speaking to journalists at the facility’s compound on Saturday, June 22, the hotel’s manager Fiaz Ahmed, said the facility has undergone renovations and was now operating fully.

Mr Ahmed noted that the facility incurred over Sh20 million loss because of the recent flash floods and that due pressure from tourists, they are putting up more accommodation units that would be complete by mid-July.

“We have never experienced such in the past. River Talek burst its bank at midnight following the heavy rains upstream, affecting the operations at the lodge and forcing us to evacuate some of the visitors we had that time,” the hotel’s front office supervisor Joseph Kaleku, said at the press briefing.
