Royal Zebra River is a small and intimate all inclusive Luxury Safari Lodge located along Talek River on the edge of the World-famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya.

Lodge’s Main area has amazing views of the busy plains of Maasai Mara where you will be able to spot some wildlife such as lions, Buffalos, elephants, Hippos, Zebras Giraffes, Cheetahs or our resident Leopard Saba crossing the plains. Here you will very often see wildlife coming down to drink in the river by the lodge. During Migration time a lot of herds of wildebeests and Zebras are seen on the plains from the lodge.

Our very cosy main area gives our guests maximum comfort while staying with us. We have spacious indoor and outdoor lounges, an all inclusive fully stocked bar, spacious dining spaces and live cooking area as well as Camp fire to share evening stories and your favourite evening drink after your day out on safaris or relaxing at the lodge. 

In the hottest part of the day when you are not out on safari, we have swimming pool to cool off and enjoy the endless views of the open plains of the Mara.
