Royal Mara Safari Lodge - Resident Wildlife

Telephone and Fax contact numbers



	Resident Wildlife - Lodging Amid Nature's Creatures Game viewing at the Royal Mara begins in the camp itself where an array of wildlife make the camp their permanent home. Over a hundred hippos led by ''Bob," our river king, occupy the numerous pools along our river frontage. A troop of vervet monkeys headed by "Joey" with his distinctly blue gonads find sanctuary from predators in the camp trees. At breakfast time you will be entertained by "Elvis" and his troop of baboons that visit our dining area daily. Take a walk along our marsh footpath behind the river guest suites and enjoy prolific resident bird watching. During the day witness dik-dik, warthog, impala or gazelle grazing in the camp or on its periphery. Approach our waterhole and lagoon area and you will see an endless parade of watering wildlife.

Feel the wildlife come alive during the nights. After the sun sets the resident hippos make their way up their ancestral footpaths from the river in between the river guest suites to graze. You will experience hyenas roaming the camp site and making their presence known with their distinct howls. Occasionally lions, leopards and elephants permeate the camp grounds after nightfall. Nocturnal wildlife including bat-eared fox, bushbaby, genet and serval cat also circulate the camp grounds at night. The lagoon on the edge of the camp with its lit water hole further attracts an endless array of herbivores and carnivores.
