Olkupelia camp

Olkupelia camp

Olkupelia Camp is an enchanting small safari camp nestled within a private conservancy on the edge of the Masai Mara ecosystem in Kenya. Secluded yet accessible, it blends luxurious camping with authentic bush immersion. Just a short distance from Amboseli’s plains and the Mara Triangle, Olkupelia exists in harmony with nature, offering guests an intimate window into the world of wildlife, from elephant herds drifting along watercourses to lion prides emerging at dawn.

With only eight well appointed tents, this camp ensures an intimate safari experience tailored to families, couples, and small groups. Each tent is elegantly designed using local textiles, Maasai-inspired décor, and natural materials. Spacious interiors offer luxurious comfort, king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot bucket showers, and private wooden decks. The open canvas flaps frame the vibrant landscape, allowing guests to wake to bird calls and gentle rustling of the bush.

Olkupelia Camp strikes the perfect balance between remote wilderness and refined comfort. The communal lounge and dining area is built around a central fire pit, ideal for story filled evenings under the stars. Activities blend adventure and authenticity: morning and evening game drives, guided nature walks led by Maasai scouts, cultural visits to local villages, and sundowners overlooking the Mara plains. This camp offers deeply personal experiences within a small, dedicated setting grounded in conservation and cultural connection.
