About Mara Safari Lodge Kidepo - MSLK

Our name, Mara, is derived from the Ik dialect and means “How are you?” - a reflection of our commitment to the local community and culture.

Inspired by the endangered Ik tribe – one of Africa’s smallest ethnic groups with a surviving population of less than 10,000 that was displaced by the government in the 1960s to create space for the game park, our name Mara, despite having a universal connotation is short for Marang which in Ik dialect means “how are you?.” The Ik tribe – a hunter-gatherer community now lives in the Morungole mountains on the border with neighboring Kenya.
