Blobs The Maasai Mara is indeed full - with wildebeests, but beds are still available! I too I thought it was until I received a last minute booking from a client who simply insisted, this is how she put it after we had told her it is a no-go-zone. “As for accomodations, the humbler the better. A tent or a bunk at a decent backpackers would be heaven indeed”

I did not want to put her in a bunk least of all options, so I went back to the drawing board and researched further and I came across Royal Mara Safari Lodge where I was able to get accommodation confirmation. I responded to my desperate client and told her that the last thing she should do is to compromise on her safari quality just because she badly wanted to see what was recently declared as “one of the seven new wonders of the world – the annual wildebeest migration”. I told her to pay a little bit more and have a comfortable place to sleep after the expeditious day waiting for hours out there to see the gnus make the mighty river crossings. She will subsequently be making a debut Maasai Mara visit next week with else but Woni Safaris.

Royal Mara Safari Lodge is The New Premiere Luxury Lodge of Kenya’s Maasai Mara Safari Game Reserve. The lodge is situated along the Mara River in the richest game viewing section of the entire Maasai Mara Ecosystem: the Western Maasai Mara. Game drives are operated along the Mara River sections of western Koyiaki and the western National Reserve. It is here that the largest numbers of wildlife congregate for river watering and Serengeti river crossing migration.

The Masai Mara game park consists of the National Reserve encircled by the contiguous conservation areas of Trans Mara, Koyiaki, Lemek, Olchorro, Olkinyei and Siana, collectively owned by local Maasai tribes. The wildlife freely roam and graze throughout the vast Maasai Mara Ecosystem under the patrol of armed rangers to ensure animal preservation. There are no boundaries, fences, or walls to obstruct the mass movement of animals.
