With garden views, Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp is situated in Talek and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden and terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

A buffet, à la carte or continental breakfast is available at the property. EVERYTHING!.... this was a truly authentic African bush tented camp. Although I booked expecting moderate accommodations this camp delivered luxury!.. from the moment you are welcomed by the staff, the room amenities and overall comfort, to the extraordinary location -- just a couple of minutes to one of Masai Mara's entry gates... to the extraordinary food prepared by the chef... all exceeded my expectations.

Facing the Talek River, Mara offers elegantly furnished tents on raised platforms, and a terrace with a bar for spotting animals. All rates include 3 game drives a day, and return airstrip transfers.

Mara’s tents include a wooden, 4-poster bed surrounded by a mosquito net. All have a modern, private bathroom with a double vanity, shower, and flush toilets. Tea and coffee making facilities are in each. Amazing location, hospitality, food, game drives, & arrangements. We had our best time on vacation. Will definately be back once more. Thank you Mara Intrepids for making our time so special. Loved every moment of our stay.

Located in Masai Mara, Olarro Plains provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with shower in every unit, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. Only the few people staying at the 2 properties can safari on the conservancy. Luckily I had the property to myself and was able to spend most of my time in the bush. The staff were awesome especially the safari guide.

With garden views, Drunken Elephant Mara is set in Sekenani and has a restaurant, a kids' club, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

A children's playground can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. Highly recommend this property for their service, food, cleanliness and location ( near to the park gate). The staff were so caring and lovely! They went that extra mile and celebrated my birthday by surprising me with a cake and the masai performance. We will remember this throughout our lives ❤️

Ashnil Mara Camp is situated in the Maasai Mara National Reserve overlooking the Mara River, famous for the wildebeest migration. It features a swimming pool and a souvenir shop.

Activities available at the camp include guided nature walks, balloon safaris, game drives and in-house cultural activities. Love this camp. Right in the heart of Mara reserve. View of river is lovely. Not all rooms have view but lodge view is top. Hippos and crocodiles in river. Great sounds at night. Lovely location for exploring Mara. Staff was amazing. Great food and so nice. Hope I return one day

Jambo Mara Safari Lodge also includes a barbecue. Guests can enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant, followed by a drink at the bar. Special diet menus and packed lunches are available on request. The property also features 24 hour hot water supply and solar electricity. We spent two nights at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and our experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a beautiful Glass VIP Room, which offered stunning views and a very comfortable stay. They also arranged an excellent tour guide for our game drives – he was polite, knowledgeable, and caring, making our safari experience unforgettable. Every member of staff we met was warm and attentive, providing truly caring and professional service throughout our stay. We were delighted to find that all drinks were included and free, which added to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Jambo Mara Safari Lodge exceeded our expectations on every level. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future!
