Una Experiencia Safari Inolvidable en Olare - Masai Mara

Este hotel en Masai Mara, situado en la reserva Olare, ofrece una ventaja única: la libertad de los vehículos en los safaris. La posibilidad de acercarse a los animales se combina con la restricción del número de vehículos, evitando aglomeraciones como ocurre en el Parque Masai Mara. Además, las habitaciones son elegantes y espaciosas, con camas sumamente cómodas. Las comidas son otro punto destacado, con opciones de carne y pescado a la carta en cada almuerzo y cena, acompañadas de bebidas incluidas. Una experiencia completa para los amantes de la naturaleza y el confort. El personal, amable y profesional, añade un toque acogedor a este hotel. El guía de safari, con un conocimiento meticuloso del parque, garantiza experiencias enriquecedoras. Desde leones y elefantes hasta búfalos, cebras, ñus, hienas, jirafas, hipopótamos y una diversidad de animales, cada safari es una oportunidad para admirar la vida salvaje en su esplendor.

A unforgettable for 3 days / 2 nights !

- Kindness of the staff - The fact that everything is included in the rate (meals, drinks, game drives, airstrip transfers…) - The space in the room - The very well organised game drives - Architecture of common spaces - Quality of the food

- A bit expensive during high season (but probably the price for exclusivity) - The bathroom should be renovated

Ultimate Luxury in the Mara

We loved our suite with its own plunge pool overlooking the River- all 200sqm of it! The staff were excellent, from Kennedy quietly arranging surprise events for us and facilitating every request, through the guides and trackers to the dining and cleaning staff - all professional and well trained. Food exceeded our five star expectation. All facilities were meticulously clean and well maintained. All inclusive meant just that - no surprises like other lodges we have been to. The massages were the best we've had in Kenya. Thank you all so much, we look forward to returning.

Justna small observation is that the memorial tree planting spoils the setting. Instead of plaques there could be small numbers and lists of the tree type, donor and message available to those that are interested- to make it more like a park than a cemetery.

Superb

The rooms, communal areas, food and staff were all excellent. Our guide (Eric) was exceptionally knowledgeable.

It would have been helpful to have been on check in to have been given a clear idea of the options available. EG we only found out from another couple two days in that it was possible to have a ‘bush breakfast’ rather than eat at the restaurant. This alternative option was very good, not least because it extended the length of the morning safari

Amazing experience with amazing people

The whole experience was amazing. We had a tent that overlooked a lake area that was full with hippos and wildlife! The tents are very luxurious and Paul was amazing in looking after our tent. Olare is situated in the conservatory so the game drives are very intimate with a much lower amount of vehicle compared to the Mara park, we saw so much! Whilst the location and facilities were amazing the staff made the trip. Dominic and the team were exceptional, catering to our every need, always making sure we had everything we needed and the chef is amazing! The food is great and we had an outside dinner on our final night with no shortage of drinks available! Thanks to everyone that made our trip so special. Asante 🙏🏻

Fantastic safari experience in the Masai Mara

This was a fantastic place to go on safari in the Masai Mara. It was a beautiful location, surrounded by animals, many of which wandered the camp at night. The game drives were very good, lots of information given. We saw everything we wanted to see. The tents are well equipped and comfortable. We had the farthest one away from the lodge but never felt worried or scared by the animals roaming around.

I would try to avoid the hippopotamus tent if you're a light sleeper.

The most unique place in the middle of African savanna

I would like to give 10 of 10 for hospitality and the service of all Olare Mara Kempinski Resort. Were amazing few days stay where game drives, sunsets and sunrises were marvelous thanks to the great staff of Olare Mara. Also, one and only experience was flying over the vast plain of Masai Mara covered by hundred thousand wildebeests and other animals of the African savannah. We were literally in the middle of great migration one of the natural wonders of the world. Even if 24 hours before many of these gorgeous animals crossed the Mara river and went to Serengeti, somehow just as nature knows they change their plans and back on the Masai Mara plains. Big thank you to the Olare Mara Kempinski team that never say no to any of my requests.

Everything was excellent,there is no anything wrong or negative in this beautiful place.

Luxury, devotion and nature

This is by far the best accommodation anyone can fina in Kenia. It is located within Masai Mara Reserve, so it's the only five starts hotel than can offer the convenience of waking up and taking a safari right away because you are already in it. Not only the hotel is luxurious as hell -wherever you come from-, but the stuff is so devoted, dedicated to make your stay so so easy ana fun without being too heavy on the guests. The tents should not be even called like that cos' they are so perfect to the last detail. And the food and drinks are high quality. Everything is. This is one in a lifetime experiences you can have so don't doubt to take this accommodation over any other because it's worth every cent you pay and, in fact, it is cheap for how much you get. Thanks to everyone who attended us for making this our yet best travel we have had. Recommended a 100%, by someone picky as hell.

We are coming back Olare Mara Kempinski... Ashe Oleng!

The breakfast was awesome. The staff, magical a team. The Service waiters Moses, Kelvin and Michael were topnotch. The kitchen master (Chef) David Too do all he could to give us the perfect breakfast. Enjoyed it everyday and only my stomach capacity betrayed me! Ashe Oleng Dominic the manager, Alex our guide, our security and of course our ever busy and smiling housekeeper Paul. Kimayen enkai!

I could not ask for anything better! We were beyond satisfied.

Superior room scam

Loved how clean the place is! Loved the friendly staff and how they took care of everything! The food was SO DELICIOUS! Alex took us on the game drives and was so nice, polite and helpful.

Didn’t like that I booked the superior room which said and showed pictures with a private plunge pool, but didn’t have that! Also, that I booked the river view and a king bed, but again, that wasn’t what my tent had. Disappointed! People get the normal tents don’t pay extra since ur getting the normal tents...

Fantastic experience!! Superb! Highly recommended

The food, game drives and most importantly the people. Brilliant! Our guide Danson was absolutely amazing ensuring we get to see the big 5 and always going out of his way to make our game drives memorable. Out butler Paul was a gem. The room was always top notch clean and laundry was fast and brilliant. The food was amazing especially the breads and soups. The chef always served whatever was requested and never said no. The servers/help staff were extremely courteous especially evans!! Overall an amazing experience, something that one should at least experience once in their life.

Perfect safari Lodge

The situation in the Mara North Conservancy is very beautiful. We had a spacious and comfortable tent with a private little pool next to a hippo-pond in the river. Very interesting, but somewhat loud at night. The whole complex is very stylish and the big pool in a lush garden is very quiet and relaxing, only disturbed from time to time by baboons. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Our special thanks to Eric, our game drive guide, who spotted every possible animal, and his explications were very interesting. We only can recommend this lodge!

It is difficult to find, if you try to get there yourself, but 99% of the guests have their transfer organized.
