Rohr added, “We are delighted to introduce adventure travelers, including families, to this awe-inspiring part of the world.”
At the core of JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge’s mission is the conservation of its natural surroundings and the local community. The lodge plans to employ up to 50 individuals from the Masai community, offering substantial educational opportunities for guests eager to engage deeply with the destination.”
