EXCLUSIVE USE · SOULFUL SAFARI · STYLISHLY VIBRANT

Welcome to Manzili Mara — a secluded escape perched on the Siria Escarpment, where sweeping views stretch across the Maasai Mara and into the Northern Serengeti. Once known as Siriatom House, this reimagined sanctuary is the newest expression of the Manzili ethos, shaped by founder Vanessa Roumeguere and designer Tom Bossard—a collaboration grounded in storytelling, design, and cultural reverence.

Originally built by the late Anthony Russell in traditional Maasai style, Manzili Mara draws inspiration from its Nairobi sister property, offering a soulful, design-rich experience rooted in East African heritage. With curated interiors, treetop terraces, and vast uninterrupted views, this is more than a safari lodge—it’s an intimate home for explorers, dreamers, and creatives seeking slow, intentional travel.

SETTING: A WILD HORIZON FROM ABOVE

Set high on the Siria Escarpment, the dramatic western rim of the Maasai Mara, Manzili Mara offers one of the most elevated perspectives in the region. The escarpment—named for its jagged, serrated cliffs—is both geologically spectacular and culturally sacred to the Maasai people.

This wild vantage point provides a rare sense of privacy and an immersive connection to the land, while also offering breathtaking panoramic views over the Mara plains below and into the distant Serengeti beyond.

A SAFARI HOME, REDEFINED

More than a lodge, Manzili Mara is a private-use safari home, crafted to blend seamlessly into the forest canopy. Its design honors traditional Maasai architecture while introducing a fresh, modern aesthetic—earthy yet refined, with natural textures, artisanal details, and open spaces that invite in the landscape.

• Wraparound decks for wildlife watching and sundowners
• Central fireplace for story-filled evenings
• Indoor-outdoor dining for all-weather enjoyment
• Elegant suites with private treetop terraces and cozy lounges
• Despite its lofty location, the house is naturally protected—providing year-round comfort, tranquility, and warmth.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

At Manzili Mara, safari is not just a journey—it’s a soulful encounter with the land. Guests can explore the region through a curated mix of traditional game drives and authentic wilderness experiences, including:

• Game drives in the Mara Triangle, home to iconic wildlife sightings
• Guided bush walks and animal tracking led by experienced local guides
• Scenic bush breakfasts and sunset sundowners overlooking the plains

A SAFARI FOR THE SOUL
