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.
