Wealthy travellers have started booking JW Marriot Maasai Mara's tented camps, only a week after the international hotel brand opened its first-ever bush lodge, signalling high demand for luxury safari.
Barnabas Wamoto, the general manager at Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport and JW Marriott Maasai Mara Lodge says the lodge, which charges $1,715 (Sh228,609) per day, per person, has received bookings until October, with some days of the peak season - July to September- fully booked.
