About this property
2 Authentic Bush Cottages
Dazzle Hill is a private hilltop retreat designed for small groups seeking a unique wilderness escape. Perched above the Great Rift Valley and bordering a private conservancy, it offers sweeping views, tranquility, and easy access to the Masai Mara. Our cottages feature twin, full, or queen-size beds, three washrooms with hot showers, organic amenities, and modern flushing toilets. An open-air dining area and deck provide a relaxed space for meals and unwinding, while an upper sundowner deck is perfect for sunrise and sunset viewing or yoga. The property spans 26 acres within an electric-fenced compound with round-the-clock security and a dedicated team of four staff members. All rate plans include the services of our private chef and three meals a day, with boxed lunches available for days spent in the park. Free high-speed Wi‑Fi is available on the dining deck/lounge area. Our eco‑friendly property is 100% off‑grid and fully solar‑powered, in respectful harmony with the surrounding environment. The entire property is exclusively yours during your stay.
We’re happy to host parties and events with prior approval. Children will love meeting our resident animals, including dogs, goats, and cows. We’re approximately a 40-minute drive from Narok on the C‑12 tarmac road, and our nearest airstrip is Mara Siana.

About the host
Hosted by Linda VanderMarliere
Originally from California, now sharing time between CA and Kenya. I fell in love with Kenya's people and wildlife on my first visit many years ago. We assist the community by sponsoring young girls who, without our support, would not be attending school.
