Olare Mara Kempinski is a luxurious tented camp set in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy, bordering Kenya’s world famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Nestled alongside the Ntiakitiak River, the camp offers an exclusive and intimate safari experience, blending the charm of traditional tented safaris with the sophistication of a five star hotel. The setting is serene and natural, perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful yet adventurous retreat deep in the African wilderness.
The camp features just 12 spacious tents, ensuring privacy and personalized service. Each tent is beautifully appointed with wooden floors, four poster beds, elegant furnishings, and private verandas offering sweeping views of the savannah. Guests can relax by the shaded swimming pool, sip sundowners in the stylish tented bar, and dine under the stars with gourmet meals prepared using fresh local ingredients.
Olare Mara Kempinski offers exceptional access to wildlife, with game drives often yielding sightings of the Big Five and other iconic species. Thanks to its location in a private conservancy, the camp provides off road game drives, night safaris, and walking safaris, experiences not always available in the main reserve.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Olare Mara Kempinski is during the dry season, from late June to October. This period coincides with the Great Migration’s arrival in the Mara, providing unparalleled opportunities to witness dramatic river crossings and large concentrations of wildlife. The weather during these months is also ideal for safari activities, being warm and dry with clear skies.
How to Get There
Guests typically reach Olare Mara Kempinski via scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Olare Motorogi Airstrip or nearby airstrips like Ol Kiombo. From the airstrip, the camp provides a complimentary road transfer, allowing guests to enjoy their first game viewing experience on the way to camp. Private charter flights are also available for a more exclusive journey.
