We had an exceptional stay at Olaloi – truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Wilson and his team went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, striking the perfect balance between warm hospitality and professional service. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, blending elegance with a deep respect for the surrounding natural environment. Our accommodations were tastefully appointed, and the beds offered a level of comfort on par with top-tier hotels. The culinary experience was another highlight – each meal was a delight, comparable to fine dining in a high-end restaurant, both in presentation and flavor. What truly sets Olaloi apart, however, is its location. Nestled in the heart of nature, the lodge offers a rare opportunity to connect with wildlife in its natural habitat – a breathtaking and humbling experience. Without question, this was the best accommodation we stayed at during our time in Kenya. We’re already looking forward to our return.

Peal mara was excellent! super friendly staff, responsive, polite, helpful. The tent was luxurious, clean, comfortable, safe! There were people walking us back and forth in case wildlife appears in the way. Sunset and sunset views were also top. The people working there are always available to accommodate your every need. The whole place is built in respect to the surrounding nature. The safari driver, Sietoti, and Rachel, a trainee, were experienced and educated, and was able to identify every corner of Maasai Mara and provide rich information about nature and wildlife during our daily safari game drives. A truly amazing duo who made our trip unforgettable. They really took care of us. Also, the food was delicious, chef was excellent! I would definitely go back again!

People most of all! Location is excellent just 5 mins away from the Talek gate, so very convenient for early morning Game Drives. Food deserves a special mention, very deliciously prepared by Julius and kindly served by Dalmas :) They cater to your needs!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Rooms were very comfortable and cleaned daily to a high standard. Hot water is available on demand or after 6pm. The location is the best thing about the camp, it is right next door to the entrance to the national park so you can get in right when it opens. The camp itself is also frequently visited by animals. We saw crocodiles, hippos, baboons, various species of deer and mongoose to name a few. The owner is friendly and responsive to your needs and even arranged transport to our next accommodation. As a bonus each meal was very delicious and they are flexible with what time you would like to eat. Overall, Talek Bush camp may be lacking some of the frills of the larger lodges but the underlying quality is very high. We felt more comfortable here than at our MUCH more expensive lodge in Amboseli.

Kobe Mara was an amazing find from all the places to stay! From the very first email with Lea to Sammy and the team at the camp including our game drive guides, which we booked directly via Kobe Mara - again, a huge ASANTE SANA for making our Masaai Mara trip so memorable! The place is just utterly beautiful! Seeing a zebra, and giraffes right from our tent was such a wondrous experience. All the details of the tent were highly appreciated as well! It felt like being in a movie… Furthermore, the food - especially the fish on a bed of spinach cream and side of mash… It all tasted like “coming home”. You do have your own kitchen too if you prefer. The team on site are always there to help if anything. Easily one of our top favourite stays ever - Highly recommended! <3

It was a great location overseeing the valley. And the Maasai Mara park. I had an incredible dinner. The best goat of my life. The people were also super nice. We went for a Nature walk which was lovely. Even after having seen the Governors camp in the paek. It was so cool as we could WALK and not drive between the Zebras and Gnus.

    The location was amazing. We were looking for a lodge with incredible views and we weren't disappointed! The attention and food were excellent. We enjoyed the pool and our time at the lodge and in the conservation. We really appreciated the intimacy of the environment with the limited number of rooms and overall setup.
