Location
David Livingstone Safari Resort sits on the banks of a broad bend in the
Mara River with sweeping views over waters inhabited by large pods of
hippo. The indigenous forests around the lodge are home to elephant and
buffalo, while the plains are frequented by all the big cats and large
herds of antelope, zebra, giraffe and other plains species. The lodge's
own airstrip is a 45 minute flight from Nairobi, or a two hour flight from
Mombasa.
Accommodation
David Livingstone Safari Resort offers 78 en suite rooms, all with
beautiful views over the river and the forest beyond. Most of the rooms
are located in inmate cottage-style buildings, with several interlinking
rooms. There are also two spacious family rooms in the double-storey block
for those seeking a bit more space and luxury.
Public
areas
The public areas of David Livingstone Safari Resort all look out over the
river, with its lively theatre of hippos and crocodiles and are shaded by
acacia trees alive with nest-building houses a charming river-facing bar
and a broad terrace, where breakfast and lunch are served when the weather
is fine.
On
the edge of the lodge's grounds, an inmate two-storey thatched house
offers a unique venue for small conferences, workshops and functions. The
lodge has a secluded swimming pool set in a pretty walled garden.
