Wheelchair Accessible Maasai Mara Safari
The refurbished Ashnil Mara Camp is fantastic. The redesign from 56 rooms to 35 has created a more spacious, relaxed, and premium feel for guests.
Importantly for inclusive travel, their wheelchair-accessible room is an excellent option for guests visiting the Mara who require accessibility.
The camp is step-free, fully paved, and easy to navigate, making movement around the property comfortable not only for wheelchair users but also for elderly guests and young families.
When you take your guests for a full-day game drive with picnic lunch, you can use the bathrooms at Look Out where Narok County has built toilets, and they have one for persons with disabilities and staff stationed there to clean them. Running water too. Clean.
The Ashnil team has been incredibly responsive to the many questions that travelers with disabilities often have before booking. On the ground, the staff provides, the necessary support, mobility assistance, and visual guidance when needed, ensuring guests feel welcomed and well supported.
For these guests we used our Toyota Noah with a swivel seat for airport transfer and the Land Cruiser with a ramp for the safari. We did stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint and Sandgrouse Curio, which has a ramp, no step and wide alleys for shopping and lunch for your guests.
Hongera to Ashnil Hotels for the fantastic hospitality in the Mara. We also look forward to the opening of Surana Mara Luxury Camp across the river.
A strong step forward for accessible safari experiences in Kenya.
