Picture yourself sipping a drink on your private verandah as hippos splash and elephants wander by the Mara River—you’ve arrived at the “Hippo Bend Lagoon,” just minutes from the famous Great Migration crossing point and the legendary Leopard Gorge.

Whether you're a wildlife photographer, a honeymooner, a family traveler, or a safari enthusiast, Royal Mara offers a unique and unforgettable safari experience—year-round.

Main Terrace Restaurant: Open-air elegance with sweeping savannah views
Private Bush Dining: Romantic dinners under the stars

Safari Experiences: A Photographer’s Dream

Royal Mara lies in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich areas. The Mara North Conservancy is known for low-density tourism, which means more exclusive game sightings and fewer vehicles at sightings. Whether you're chasing the Big Five or following the tracks of a cheetah hunt, the game drives here are world-class.

Top Safari Activities:

1. Game Drives

Morning & Evening Drives led by expert guides
Night Game Drives to spot nocturnal species
Custom 4x4 safari vehicles with open rooftops

2. Hot Air Balloon Rides

Float above the savannah at sunrise, then toast the adventure with a champagne breakfast in the wild.

3. Maasai Cultural Visits

Immerse yourself in the traditional lifestyle of the Maasai people—learn about their customs, stories, and songs during intimate boma visits.

4. Bush Dining & Sundowners

Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the open plains—accompanied by wildlife sounds and golden sunsets.

5. Wildebeest Migration

From July to October, witness the greatest wildlife show on Earth as millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River.

Wildlife & Conservation: The Heart of the Mara

Royal Mara is set within the Mara North Conservancy, a private reserve dedicated to sustainable and ethical wildlife tourism.

Big Five: Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos roam freely
Birdlife: Over 470 recorded species—from kingfishers to eagles
Rare Sightings: Caracals, servals, bat-eared foxes, and more

The area gained global fame through BBC’s Big Cat Diaries, and sightings here remain frequent and intimate.

CSR – Community & Conservation Commitments

Royal Mara is deeply committed to responsible tourism and actively supports local conservation and community initiatives:

Wildlife Conservation Programs: Supporting anti-poaching patrols and habitat preservation
Education Support: Donating school supplies and sponsoring local education efforts
Sustainable Practices: Use of solar power, waste reduction, and eco-friendly construction
Local Employment: Hiring and training local Maasai staff to empower the community

When you stay with us, you're not just enjoying luxury—you’re supporting the land and people that make this place special.

Getting There: Airstrip Transfers & Accessibility

The lodge is easily accessible by a 10-minute drive from the Mara North Airstrip, with daily scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Alternatively, enjoy a scenic 5–6 hour drive from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Absolutely amazing!! I reached out to David at the last minute when I realized I had an extra couple days in Kenya. He responded immediately and gave me multiple options. Once I picked the package I wanted, he quickly made all the arrangements. They sent someone to meet me Wilson airport in person to give me details about what to expect on my Safari and even a gift! The tour guide/driver in the Maasai Mara was outstanding! I saw the Big Five and tons of animals — all unbelievably close. I got to see a cheetah make a successful kill and a pair of lions mating. It was wild in the best way. All the logistics were handled and everything went smoothly from start to finish. My night in the Mara was truly magical. I’m already thinking of how I can get back and do it again! And for sure I will use Holiday Dealers when I do. Thank you all so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  The Holiday Dealers are the best! Use their services if you’re thinking to plan a trip to Kenya. I started planning this trip four months from when I wanted to visit with my family (2 young kids). David and his team were instantly responsive providing excellent recommendations on where to stay and options for what to do. The Holiday Dealers showed great flexibility when our flights altered from the original plans and when we wanted to make last-minute adjustments to our trip for the final day.

Every driver we had in Nairobi and the Maasai Mara was on time and considerate. Notably, I’m so thankful for going with The Holiday Dealer’s recommendation to use one of their Maasai game drivers, Stanley. Stanley was fantastic and great with our kids. He showed us so much and we learned a lot about the animals, land, and the Maasai tribe.

The Holiday Dealers attention to detail is top-notch. We always felt supported and they went above and beyond to ensure this happened.
