Thank you for making our stay memorable. From the flights to and from Mara, arranging the best memorable ballon safari, Maasai cultural experience and much more. Best game viewing and wildlife experience in a long time in the savanna grasslands of magical Kenya’s Maasai Mara.

Great team and service ! Game drives with Eric were amazing, he is a skilled driver and because he is also a photographer himself he brought us ti the best positions and angeles all the time. Also Eric the waiter (different Eric ) has amazing service and an interesting man. Food in the restaurant was great every time. Different amazing soup each time. Kelvin naithen and ted from the restaurant helped us with everything we needed, always stayed to tell us more of kenya and their culture and were available to hear our experiences from the game drives. Kelvin the head cheff has greas hands for cooking, full week of eating his food which was both super healthy and tasty was great ! We took a massage with Linet and she is for sure a professional, dont miss it ! All of security team were always so caring and nice. Big John and Peter were very interesting and took us on a bush walk around camp twice, 2 hours walk each time, and we still wanted to do more. Of course you can ask them to be shorter if you want. Overall kempinski is the best in the "Luxury Hotels" category. If you can afford a luxury hotel vacation - this kempinsky is the best choice !

Staying at Kempinski Olare Mara was truly the most beautiful and unforgettable experience of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by breathtaking nature, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality. Every game drive felt like a dream, every meal was exceptional, and every member of the team made me feel so welcome and cared for. This is not just a lodge — it’s a sanctuary where luxury meets the wild in the most magical way. I’ll cherish every memory and can’t wait to return. Thank you for an experience beyond words.

We had an unforgettable time at this beautiful camp. The experience with food,comfort, service , game drives and lots more was amazing and i recommend this property to anyone who wants an adventurous time combined with relaxation and fun.

It was a pleasure being here. The staff hospitality was impeccable. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a fantastic time.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Kenya - we split our time across 4 properties and were most excited about Olare. The service begins before you even arrive - they were extremely responsive over email, helping us plan our transport to the hotel and activities and documenting our preferences for experiences, food and drink. We were warmly greeted and each member of the staff made us feel at home immediately. I can’t speak highly enough of Dominic, the wonderful camp manager, Benson, Kelvin and Livingstone in the restaurant, Peter our tent manager, or Ben our guide from the airstrip who each surprised us with their attention to detail and warmth at every turn. I would be remiss not to mention the food - each meal surpassed the last, and the kitchen was extremely responsive to customizations and preferences. We walked away from each meal in awe of how flavorful each dish was (our favorites were the chicken tikka masala, rajma, pork belly, and English breakfast). And of course the review wouldn’t be complete without mention of safari. The best part about staying on the conservancy is the ability to off road and the 5 car limit per sighting. Our stay included two daily drives that we could time based on what we wanted out of the day. Our guide David made our stay so wonderful and memorable - he was so informative, kind, and smart and never rushed us from one place to the next. His experience as a guide really shows and we truly enjoyed his company. As is clear by now, we really didn’t have a single complaint about our stay and were so sad to leave. We know we’ll be back one day!
