About Aitong Crater House
A romantic home, local Maasai hospitality and an extraordinary view.
Your private retreat
On the edge of a crater.
At the heart of the Mara Region.
Come and visit our private and romantic Aitong Crater House, secluded in the bush on the edge of an ancient crater near the Maasai village of Aitong. This is a place for breathtaking views, calming privacy and the sounds of nature.
At an altitude of 2,000 metres, the house overlooks the plains of the Maasai Mara. It is part of the Pardamat Conservancy, with views towards the Lemek, Mara North, Motorogi and Olare Orok conservancies and the Siria, or Oloololo, Escarpment.
An extraordinary setting
Room to breathe.
Space to explore.
The rich fauna and flora were as important to us as the romantic view when we chose this spot. After many years of visiting East Africa’s parks and reserves, this place on top of the crater still feels magical to us.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is around a 45-minute drive away, with several airstrips approximately 30 minutes from the house. The Mara River is a few kilometres away. Travel times depend on your route and conditions.
