Stay at a luxury hotel in the Masai Mara without spending a penny; Techie by sharing knowledge

Stay in a dream hotel in the Masai Mara forest in Kenya, and that too without spending a penny! Anirban Chaudhary, a software engineer from Jharkhand, has shared such experience on X Platform.

Earlier this month, Anirban Chaudhary went on a trip to the Masai Mara with his family. I stayed for five days at JW Marriott Lodge with ultra luxurious facilities. Enjoy facilities such as accommodation in tented rooms, luxury safaris, swimming pool and a ride in a Land Rover. This trip, which cost nearly two and three quarter lakhs, did not cost a single penny.

Anirban Chaudhary got these benefits by using Marriott Bonvoy Points. Marriott Bonvoy Points are reward points earned for staying at Marriott hotels and using other Marriott services. Points can be earned by staying at Marriott hotels, using Marriott credit cards, dining, rental cars, and more. Most Marriott hotels award 10 points per dollar spent, and Elite members can earn up to 17.5 points per dollar spent.

These points can be redeemed for free hotel stays, cruises, airline miles, etc., as well as purchases, gift cards, tech and fashion items. Marriott Bonvoy members enjoy benefits such as free in-room Wi-Fi, membership fees and mobile check-in. Elite members also have additional benefits such as late checkout, free breakfast and lounge access.

Anirban Chowdhury, who likes to travel a lot, travels with credit cards. Own forty credit cards but only use five of them regularly. The entire trip was covered by bonus points earned on Anirban Chaudhary and his wife’s credit cards.

A year ago, when I was planning a Masai Mara trip, I needed 1.06 lakh points for a night at the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge. They also had an offer for guests who booked using their loyalty points, if they booked a four night stay at the lodge, the fifth night was free. So Anirban Chaudhary paid 4.24 lakh Marriott Bonvoy points for a five-night stay.

The costs include not only accommodation but also food, travel in luxury cars, sunbeds and safari trips. I stayed in a luxury tent measuring 1,220 square feet. There was a patio for stargazing and amazing views of the Talek River.

Anirban Chaudhary is currently preparing for a trip to Singapore in October using reward points. He had to pay just Rs 3,000 to travel in Singapore Airlines rooms which cost around Rs 3 lakh. Anirban Chaudhary says the rest was paid through reward points.

The Masai Mara is a national game reserve located in Narok, Kenya, adjacent to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It is considered one of the seven natural wonders of Africa and one of the ten wonders of the world.
