The Royal Mara Safari Lodge is set on the banks of the Mara River in the richest game viewing section of Kenya’s legendary Maasai Mara Ecosystem. The lodge is situated directly on the wildebeest “Great Migration” route – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World - near two of the main Mara river crossing sites.
Royal Mara offers a blend of the classic tented safari camp with the amenities of a lodge facility – the result is a unique luxury tented lodge like nothing else in Africa. Only eight large riverfront tented chalets built on raised mahogany platforms, provide safety from hippos, elephants and buffalos roaming through the camp at night in search for food and water. Hearing them from the warmth of your duvet covered bed is a truly exciting and memorable experience. Each chalet has been individually decorated with artistically handcrafted furniture and magnificent four-poster beds. En suite bathrooms with hot & cold running water are fitted rain showers and flushing toilets. The chalets open to a large verandah where guests can relax on comfortable chaise longes overlooking the breathtaking river scenery.
At the Royal Mara every meal is a distinct, unforgettable experience. Meals are served in diverse spectacular settings, i.e. near a hippo pool, on the open savannah, under the African stars in the bush or privately on your own verandah. All dishes are home made with fresh Kenyan produce of international export quality and prepared in a highly professional kitchen.
Experienced safari guides will tailor the daily activities to guest’s wishes to include day & night game drives, guided bush walks or Maasai traditional village visits. Alternatively you can enjoy a thrilling hot air balloon flight over the Mara plains at dawn.
Spend a little time at Royal Mara and you will experience a feeling of belonging. To be a witness of its personal service, the commitment to the environment and the excitement of this beautiful, savage and unspoilt land certainly provides a sentiment of being privileged.
