At Olare Mara, you will experience the true heart of Africa. Every guest enjoys 24-hour butler service and stays in a beautiful, luxury tent designed for comfort.
Your day begins with the sound of birds and the fresh morning air as you enjoy coffee on your private balcony. From your tent, you can look out over the vast plains of the savannah. Our game drives bring you close to nature, where you can watch majestic elephants and giraffes in total silence. Olare Mara is more than just a camp; it is a peaceful place where you can truly connect with the beauty of the wild.

Our large tents are built on beautiful wood decks and offer plenty of space. Each tent features a large bed with a mosquito net, a separate living room, a writing desk, and a modern bathroom. From your private terrace, you can watch the many animals of the Maasai Mara walk by.
Dining at Olare Mara is a special experience. We use fresh vegetables from our own organic garden, and you are welcome to help our chefs pick the ingredients for your meal! You can choose to eat on your terrace, in the gardens, or out in the wild. Enjoy a “bush breakfast” near the hippos or a picnic under the shade of an acacia tree. After your safari, you can cool off in the pool or enjoy a relaxing massage.
The Olare Mara Kempinski is located in a massive private area of 35,000 acres. This beautiful land is filled with wide grasslands, forests, and trees. Our game drives are led by expert guides who know everything about the land and the animals. You will have the chance to see the “Big Five”—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—plus many other amazing animals in their natural home.
You can also experience the famous Maasai culture. We offer respectful visits to a local Maasai village. Because our team has a close relationship with the community, you will be welcomed as an honored guest and a friend.
Mara Plains Camp enjoys exclusive access across the key areas of the Maasai Mara ecosystem, including permission to move freely between conservancies—creating exceptional opportunities to follow wildlife wherever activity unfolds, especially in this predator-rich region. With only seven rooms, the camp offers an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, set beneath the cool canopy of riverine forest and thoughtfully designed to minimise environmental impact while maintaining luxury. The elevated canvas suites overlook a quiet creek, placing you at the heart of nature, where giraffes graze nearby, elephants wallow in the mud, and baboons play—while the view from your private veranda is truly unforgettable.
Nestled within a fragrant grove of ancient pepper trees, this sanctuary is a masterful blend of traditional safari soul and modern sophistication. Positioned in the heart of the fabled Maasai Mara, the camp offers a refined gateway to 70,000 acres of protected private conservancy—a sprawling landscape where the savannah remains pristine and the crowds are non-existent.
In this secluded corner of the ecosystem, the wild is intimate. Experience the “sublime”—whether locking eyes with a matriarch elephant or witnessing the electric tension of a big cat on the hunt. With a resident population of lion, cheetah, and leopard, and a horizon teeming with buffalo and giraffe, the camp offers a front-row seat to the most legendary wildlife theater on earth.
Elephant Pepper Camp is designed for those who seek “home-from-home” warmth without compromising on luxury. It is a place of profound stillness, where the only soundtrack is the chorus of 450 bird species and the gentle rustle of the grove. Here, the experience transcends the ordinary; as you venture “beyond the zebra,” you discover a depth of wilderness known only to the world’s most discerning explorers.
Mahali Mzuri, created by Richard Branson, offers an exceptional luxury safari experience that blends adventure with relaxation. The camp features 12 uniquely designed luxury tents that redefine traditional camping with their comfort and elegance, earning recognition as Favourite Safari Camp in the 2016 Condé Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice Awards. Located in Kenya’s Olare Motorogi Conservancy within the renowned Maasai Mara ecosystem, the camp provides outstanding opportunities to witness abundant wildlife, including the Big Five and the spectacular Great Migration, while also offering meaningful connections with the local Maasai culture.
