Royal
Mara Safari Lodge -- A Luxury Lodge and Camp in the Masai Mara of Kenya
Welcome
to the Masai Mara of Kenya (also spelled "Maasai Mara"), recently designated
as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. The Royal Mara Safari Lodge
is situated directly on the wildebeest "Great Migration" route, near the
two world famous wildebeest migration Mara River crossing points and near
Leopard Gorge, all made internationally known by the BBC's Big Cat Diary
television program. Our tented lodge and camp is located on the popular
Hippo Bend Lagoon of the Mara River, amongst several elephant, buffalo
and giraffe herds, and with close proximity to several lion prides, including
the "Maternity", Musiara Marsh, "Aitong", and Ridge prides.

Hidden
From The World Deep Within The Unspoiled Masai Mara
The
Masai Mara consists of the National Reserve encircled by the contiguous
conservation areas of Trans Mara, Koyiaki (also spelled as Koiyaki), Lemek,
Olchorro, Olkinyei and Siana, collectively owned by local Maasai tribes.
Game park fees are charged in all of these areas. Wildlife freely roam
and graze throughout the vast Masai Mara Ecosystem under the patrol of
armed rangers to ensure animal preservation. There are no boundaries, fences,
or walls to obstruct the mass movement and migration of animals, neither
within the Masai Mara nor as animals mass migrate to and from Serengeti
National Park, just across the border in Tanzania.

The
Masai Mara and the Serengeti effectively form one contiguous ecosystem,
and jointly share honors for hosting the annual spectacle of the Great
Migration. The advantage of staying at the Royal Mara lodge and camp is
that it is situated directly on the Mara River in the richest game viewing
section of the entire Masai Mara Ecosystem: the Western Masai Mara. We
operate our camp game drives along the Mara River sections of Western Koyiaki
and the Western National Reserve, including Musiara Marsh and the Mara
Serena crossing point. It is here in the Western Masai Mara that the largest
number of wildlife congregate for river watering and dramatic river migration
crossings.

The
Royal Mara is ideally situated for safari game drive viewing. The lodge
and camp is set out in the Koyiaki conservation area approximately five
miles upriver from the world renowned Koyiaki-Kichwa migration crossing
point. Leopard Gorge and Musiara Marsh made famous by the BBC's Big Cat
Diary program are just a four mile and seven mile distance respectively
south of the Royal Mara. The other well known crossing point at "Mara Serena"
is only a fifteen mile game drive down river from the Royal Mara. Several
lion prides are within proximity of the lodge with the "Maternity" pride
on our periphery, the "Aitong" pride to our north and the Musiara Marsh,
"Acacia Woodland," and Ridge prides to our south. In contrast to the National
Reserve area, the Koyiaki conservation area allows game walks enabling
us to offer our guests a fulfilling safari experience.

Unforgettable
Bonding With Unspoiled Nature
Bring
good walking shoes and take a walking safari with us. Feel the wilderness,
smell the air and leave your footprint in the ground. There is nothing
more exhilarating than the thrill of seeing big game on foot. Game walks
are conducted in high density wildlife areas of the Masai Mara in the company
of Maasai guides and armed guards at a comfortable pace with intermittent
stops.
If
you are a bird enthusiast you will be thrilled with the wide selection
of birds visible in the Royal Mara area. Our marsh and lagoon areas attract
a caravan of varied wildfowl and raptor birds. Bird safaris on foot or
by 4WD can also be arranged to explore the open savannah or other nearby
marshes.
