The Royal Mara is located in the western Koyiaki conservation area of the Masai Mara, on a peninsula in the popular "Hippo Bend Lagoon" section of the Mara River. The lodge is within a few miles drive of the world famous migration river crossing points of "Koyiaki-Kichwa" and "Mara Serena" as well as the leopard hangout at "Leopard Gorge", highlighted on the BBC "Big Cat Diary" program. We are located on the migration route where, during the migration season of June to November, thousands of wildebeest converge on the camp periphery to graze.
The Royal Mara has six luxury, spacious, guest suites situated with river frontage which have flush toilets, bidets, twin basins, luxury showers, hot water, and electricity. All river guest suites have luxury hand carved furnishings, elegant linen, lush towels, bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, and four poster beds (one super king or two doubles; additional bedding added if desired) and are supplied with umbrellas, raincoats, and insect repellent. They also have Maasai carpeting, colonial antiques, and African artifacts and include a wardrobe armoire cabinet, a writing desk, a safe deposit box, a mini bar stocked with complimentary drinks and an internal sitting area. A personal butler is assigned to each river guest suite and daily house keeping is provided. River guest suites are on raised decks with private river frontage verandas equipped with chaises longes and dining seating. Each river accommodation has a total area of 110 square meters consisting of a sleeping area (36 sqm), a bath facility (22 sqm) and a veranda (52 sqm).
