Further, the managing director indicated that all the contracts and commitments that were made by the hotels in reference to the two lodges will be honored up to June 30, to ensure a seamless transition.
The two lodges have been under the management of the aforementioned for 13 years. Reports indicate that the move was arrived at following a mutual agreement between Sarova Hotels and the lodge owners.
In September last year, a similar move took place as the hotel announced its plan to cease the management of the Spirit of the Masai Mara starting November 2019.
