Your Family Safari Getaway
A private safari lodge in Kenya’s Maasai Mara
Designed with the utmost care for your family (and ours)
The Spinney on the Mara is one of a very small number of private safari lodges in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. We book only one group at a time.
Built by a Canadian family living in Kenya, our vision is to provide families (including ourselves!) the ideal safari experience, with all the luxuries of a classical safari lodge, but with the privacy and home comforts needed by families.
The Spinney sleeps up to eight adults (in four rooms) and nine children (in four bunk beds (plus one trundle under a bunk).
Amenities & Activities
The Spinney is more than just safari. Our private chef, swimming pool, outdoor movie theater, lawn games, a tennis court and a host of other amenities ensure an unforgettable experience.
Safari Experiences
Situated in the Naretoi Wildlife Estate in the northern part of the Mara ecosystem, wildlife is abundant and tourism traffic is minimal.

“The Spinney is the perfect family getaway. The house is stylish and elegant, equipped with fun lawn games, a swimming pool and a projector to enjoy outside movie nights on the veranda. The chef cooked delicious meals and the house was kept clean and tidy throughout our stay. The house edges the river creating a tranquil sound of flowing water with loads of animal sighting opportunity. We enjoyed our stay!”
