“Raised high, this eco-friendly retreat offers unobstructed view of the wilderness and wildlife from the six private bungalows. Rooms are comfortable and are all about being one with nature. Relax by the pool, get a in-room massage or get stuck into the nature activities that are the main draw. ”

Hotel Review
Tassia is hidden away on a rocky bluff overlooking a valley of trees beloved by elephants situated in the 60,000 acre Lekurruki conservation area and is home to the Mukogodo Maasai. Designed to be booked on an exclusive basis, although simple it is tastefully and comfortably decorated. In tune with its surroundings the lodge is built of natural materials, has a children's bunkhouse and a natural pool built into the rocks. You will be hosted and guided by local scarlet-robed Mukogodo Maasai.

"There are few lodges in Africa more wonderfully embedded in the community and landscape than Tassia, set as high as eagles fly on conservation land owned and managed by the Mokogodo Maasai."
