Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara

Stayed here in August for 4 nights to finish our honeymoon and it was just incredible. This place is in a conservancy so much less traffic out on safari and you can get right up close to the animals. The facilities were fantastic, all the staff were incredible with such warm hospitality. It was a beautiful setting and the honeymoon suite tent was absolutely stunning. Would love to return one day!

We have been to many camps in South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. We love safari and this camp is extraordinary. Such luxury and attentive service. The general manager is Leakey and he was so welcoming. Our guide was Danson and our game viewing was wonderful. I love that because we were on a private conservancy that we had the ability to off-road and get up close and personal with the wildlife. We were attended to by Benson and Kelvin and our chef, Kevin was out of this world. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had whatever we needed. There were special touches such as breakfast served at the edge of the property by the river and candlelit dinner by the fireplace. Each time we left our beautiful tent and then returned our room had been transformed. It was such a special place and one in which we would gladly return.

The Camp The infrastructure is on top, the employees are very polite and super obliging. The food is so varied and super delicious! The tents and the roomservice are fabulous! In every aspect the good guys at olare mara always go above and beyond for your well beeing! The Gamedrives As a secondtimer safariwise it was an absolute dream! You leave the campsite early in the morning (bushbreakfast optional) and you will be back in camp around 10 to 11 am. The second drive of the day starts around 4 pm until dark. The best thing about the camp is its perfect location! There is no need to go far, we had most of our action within 1 km around the camp! Olare Mara has exellent guides with an amazing sense for the animals/nature! The cars are comfortable and in good shape! Cheers Daniel W.

This is the second time we have stayed in this small romantic hotel with interesting rooms in the middle of the savannah. The rooms are very spacious (much larger than in city hotels) and you don't even have the feeling that you are in a tent. The staff is very friendly, the service in general is at the highest possible level. The food is even better than last year. And, what is most characteristic of this hotel-resort, you have two safaris a day and it cannot happen that you do not see 100% of what you want! And all this very close to the resort with very little driving. We only stayed two nights this year, We only had three safaris (one with an outdoor sunset dinner) but we saw everything...lions eating their catch, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, hyenas, hippos, zebras, antelopes, eagles and other animals. I highly recommend!

The Olare Mara Kempinski stay in the Masai Mara was a trip of a lifetime. We went with our three boys (ages 9-13). It's an extremely up close experience with the wildlife on this private conservatory, both on the game drives and at the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Dominic, the Hotel Manager, made sure we were always comfortable and safe. The food was delicious at every mealtime (hats off to the Chefs!) and there were lovely tea and coffee and snacks in the afternoon. All of the waiters, especially Hezron (one of our main waiters), were super friendly and made us feel at home. Our ranger from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, Rafael, was outstanding. He was extremely attentive, experienced and informed. He made sure we saw everything and was incredible with the kids - he was funny, loving and gave us a sense of security with his oneness with nature and the animals. He definitely made our trip memorable beyond expectations and we will never forget him. The Kempinski Olare Mara does an outstanding job at making this an extraordinary experience and would highly recommend it!

Fantastic camp with dedicated and friendly staff. I have been there 3 times now as a wildlife photographer and the location for wildlife ist ideal. Even other camps prefer the area around Kempinski Olare Mara. We saw 2 hunts, lots of animals in a very preserved conservancy. Food was excellent, definite recommendation!
