JW Marriott debuts in luxury safari sector

JW Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio, has announced the opening of JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge, marking the brand’s debut in the luxury safari industry.

Located within the Masai Mara National Reserve in southwestern Kenya, the new lodge finds home in one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife and wilderness conservation regions. Comprising 20 private tents, the lodge’s interiors, designed by Kristina Zanic Consultants, draw inspiration from the elements with soft, warm tones, natural materials and textures, and native colours threading through the space. Many of the tents feature terraces overlooking the River Talek, while the honeymoon suite comprises a private plunge pool.
