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. Safari camp with a swimming pool overlooking the river. Very close to the landing strip. Very convenient location. F&B: very good options on the menu. Changes daily ( a la carte) and when camp is full they set up a buffet. We tried both. Fully enjoyable. Game drives are included. Great value. Excellent experienced guides (Raphael was informative, patient, a careful driver and a great conversationist) The camp staff were super accommodating and very approachable. They brought a fridge to our tent when we informed them there wasn't one. Housekeeping is impeccable, room was spotless at all times. Nice gesture of hot water bottles in the bed at night. Drink requests delivered to the room early in the morning before game drive. A wonderful experience. Excellent overall

Olaloi Mara Camp has river views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in Masai Mara.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving African, American and Italian cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and halal options can also be requested. We spent three wonderful days at Olaloi Mara Camp in the Masai Mara, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire team made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. Wilson, our host, was exceptionally cordial and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our stay. Our guide, Jonathan, was fantastic—his knowledge of the reserve and passion for wildlife made our game drives truly special. We had the privilege of seeing a wide variety of animals, thanks to his expertise. The food was another highlight! John, the chef, prepared scrumptious meals three times a day, offering a fine dining experience in the heart of the Mara. Every meal was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Benjamin and Helen were also outstanding hosts, keeping us company and providing great conversation throughout our stay. We felt like we were part of the family. The security guard (whose name unfortunately slips my mind) was very diligent and courteous, ensuring that we felt safe and at ease. One of the things we truly appreciated was the flexibility and attention to detail. The team catered to every request with ease, making our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were splendid, offering comfort and style amidst the wild surroundings. It’s definitely worth every penny, and we would not hesitate to return. We highly recommend Olaloi Mara Camp to anyone planning a visit to the Mara. It’s an exceptional experience, and we can’t wait to come back!

With river views, Emboo River Camp is set in Talek and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

There is a private bathroom with shower in all units, along with free toiletries and bathrobes. From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by Valery and her amazing team. We stayed in a beautifully designed, cozy room (everything inside was chosen with care and filled with comfort) The atmosphere at Emboo is magical: peaceful nature, evenings around the fire on soft poufs under the stars, delicious meals, and a deep connection to the nature. We would especially like to thank: Felix, our safari guide — calm, deeply experienced, and one of the best in his field. He made every game drive feel personal and insightful. Tobin, the photographer, full of passion and soul. Every photo he took captured something deeper than just an image. Rhoda, who looked after us during every breakfast, lunch, and dinner with incredible kindness and attention. And Pedro, who always brought a smile, kindness, and genuine care. he made us feel truly welcomed. The little things made, like hot water bottles waiting in our room at night and even placed in the safari jeep for those chilly early drives. These thoughtful touches left a lasting impression. The entire team at Emboo is united by true hospitality, care for nature, and love for what they do. We’re already home, but our hearts are still with you at Emboo. Wishing the camp and its creators continued joy and prosperity

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.

Out game driver Rolex is the sweetest, kind, intelligence, humorous and very sharp guy.

Mara River Camp is located on the North West boundary of the Maasai Mara National Reserve overlooking the Mara River. It features a swimming pool and garden.

Each tent features a patio with a view of the Mara River. It comes with a seating area and the private bathroom includes a shower. I have stayed at Mara River Camp before and I will continue to stay there every time I come to the Mara. The location is fabulous, so many animals right in the camp, and right on the River Mara. The food is amazing and the staff is amazing. The rooms are great too.
