Amazing place in a private conservancy. Tents huge and clean. Staff incredible and always willing to please. Menu differs daily and delicious. A special thankyou to David our safari guide, warm, friendly, patient and eager to please. Got to see all animals including the leopard and cheetah. Thankyou Olare Mara Kempinski!!

From getting picked up at the airstrip through game drives and meals this was an incredible experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I eat vegan and the meals were wonderful. The staff are flexible; e.g. We wanted an early game drive and they prepared a breakfast we took with us. This was my second time here and my wife's third do that speaks volumes. We had 3 game drives and saw 40 species, all the cats, cubs, birds, crocodile, jackals,etc. Could not have been better.

Best experience ever! Beautiful well appointed luxury tents, excellent sieves and amenities and extremely helpful knowledge staff all round with including the drivers, guides, waiters, chefs and room stewards and guards. 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 !

We had an amazing time at Olare Mara Kempinksi. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Masai Mara to stay here. We stayed for 3 days and the whole time we had such a nice time! The staff is very warm and hospitable and takes care of your every need. Special shoutouts to - Dominic for running an amazing property and taking care of us. Danson who was our guide for game drives made sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing sights the conservancy had to offfer. Hezron for taking care of us during all our meals and making sure we have amazing setups for all our meals be it on a riverside or on our deck! Linet was great at spa and Oscar was our housekeeper who helped keep our suite updated! Would totally recommend coming here! hakuna matata

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.

Just had a fabulous stay the Olare Mara Kempinski. The staff were warm and welcoming, the food was wonderful, and the accommodations outstanding. Loved seeing giraffes and hippos from our deck! The driver/guides were great and of course, the wildlife view was amazing. This was our last stop on our safari, and we hadn't yet seen a leopard, but within 10 minutes of leaving the airport, we had a beautiful sighting of a leopard. And so many lions during our stay. Loved the birthday celebration too! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience.

My stay at Olare Mara Kempinski was not just a stay, it was a whole experience. From the moment I arrived and received my Safari Passport (which was sooo informative!), everything felt thoughtful and special. The dining experience, the rooms, the food… oh my! This is officially my new favorite place in the Maasai Mara. One of the biggest highlights of my stay was the sundowner, absolutely jaw-dropping. The setup, the ambiance, the view… it was pure magic. And something that truly touched my heart was the opportunity to plant a tree. As someone who loves people and places that take care of the environment, that moment meant so much to me. And the staff… where do I even begin? Linet, the sweet soul who assisted me with the tree planting, she’s amazing. Kelvin, our restaurant server, just the best. John and the rest of the team, I can’t mention everyone, but they made our trip unforgettable. Eric, our guide, super knowledgeable! He shared so many stories, including the one about Red the lion, which I absolutely loved. And last but not least, Dominic, the manager, not just a boss, but a true leader. He made sure every guest was having a good time. If there was a ten-star rating, they deserve all ten. Don’t even think twice, book with them, and you will thank me later.
