What You’ll Experience

Welcome to Kwa Mara, where you will be directed to the Treehouse, where you can enjoy a sundowner from around 5:45 pm in the very best of nature with a stunning creek view and sunset. You will then be treated to an utterly delicious 3 course Swahili dinner prepared by our awesome chef. Each course will be punctuated with a story drawn from Kenya's rich mythology and history, some folklore and legend. Mara is an award winning professional storyteller and author so consider this an extraordinary 'Stories Under an African Sky' experience. The stories will be selected on the evening so that each dinner has its own vibe and energy and we can choose stories that are of interest to you. At around 6.30pm, you will likely get the chance to feed the bushbabies that visit the treehouse on a nightly basis. After dinner (around 8.30 ish), we can help arrange transport home or wherever else you wish to continue the night.
