We can highly recommend the Royal Mara Safari Lodge. We booked through Abdul of Tunda Tours, who I contacted intially through Trip Advisor. When we arrived in Malindi he contacted us and we met to discuss tours. Abdul gave us several choices of lodges/tents in the Masai Mara, Abdul recommended the Royal Mara and we were not disappointed. We stayed... more

I stayed at this lodge for three days in Feb 09 with my husband and 11 year old daughter and it is a beautiful place to stay, the tents lived upto our expectations, they are exactly like advertised in the brochure with no attention to detail spared and everything hand carved showing off different animals. Each tent is perched on... more

We recently stayed here for 3 days, the camp is small, with only 8 lodges, so you really are well looked after by J and all the staff. The lodges all overlook the Mara river where up to 500 resident hippos reside - be prepared to be kept awake at night! The lodges are absolutely amazing, so much thought has... more

We stayed at the Royal Mara in October of this year and had a fantastic time! I have been on 3 other safaris in Namibia and South Africa and have stayed in tented camps that were fenced in and not very personable, none of them even slightly compared.

We stayed at the Royal Mara in mid September and had a fantastic time. Even though we were the only people in the camp for a few days, the staff really looked after us. Every day we had two safaris, breakfast by the Mara river with the hippos, one day we had lunch out in the middle of the Masai... more

A fantastic stay, and we just want to go back as soon as we can! We went there with our 3 children ( aged 4, 6, and 8y) and with a friend couple and their children (aged 5 and 7y). We were wondering how it will go with the children and it was just amazing!! We arrived at the end... more

The Royal Mara is just beautiful. The rooms: raised tented homes really are just outrageous. You really feel like you are sleeping with the hippos and the zebra's but feel totally safe. Everyone is very friendly. They really take care of you! Enjoy your stay!! more
