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.

Olare Mara Kempinski is an exceptionally clean and comfortable place to stay. The staff are incredibly kind, offering warm hospitality and wonderful surprises throughout the stay. The safari experience was fantastic—they put great effort into finding a variety of animals, providing detailed explanations, and ensuring we had the best possible viewing positions. The selection of drinks and menu options was extensive, and every meal was delicious, making each day a delight. One of the highlights was being able to soak in a bathtub while on safari—an unforgettable luxury! Even the other guests were friendly, adding to the overall atmosphere and making this trip truly memorable. I highly recommend Olare Mara Kempinski to anyone looking for an extraordinary safari experience.

Located in the middle of the national park, the hotel offers multiple game safaris per day. The food quality and room cleanliness is at the level of a five-star hotel. It was a wonderful experience of both exciting wild nature and relaxing in a comfortable resort.

I recently stayed at the Olare Mara Kempinski for a three-night safari with my partner. The staff, facilities, and location were lovely and enabled us to have the most personalized safari experience to date. Location: Located in the Olare Conservancy in the northern Mara, the lodge benefits from an exclusive setting with only four other camps permitted in the area. This meant we only encountered a handful of other vehicles on most drives. Wildlife: The limited human presence meant Giraffes, Zebras, Elephants and Hippos frequently passed by the lodge. We also spotted Lions and Wildebeests on most drives, with a Cheetah on the last day. Staff: Dominic, the General Manager, ensured our trip was personalised, complete with dinners by the fire and day trips. Moses and the restaurant staff quickly learned our preferences for drinks and meals. Our guide, Dixon, was fantastic and his extensive knowledge of the Mara and ability to locate animals was truly impressive. We also appreciated his flexibility in extending drives, especially after rainy days. Food & Drink: The quality of the meals was exceptional, particularly given the camp's remote location. The three-course menu, which changed daily, offered variety and was on par with other Kempinski properties we've visited worldwide. All soft and alcoholic drinks were included and available throughout the day. The wine selection was excellent, however I would encourage that the menus are made available such that the drinks options are more visible to guests. Rooms: The rooms feature large king beds, private terraces facing the river, high-pressure hot showers, and a bath, with toiletries consistent with other Kempinski hotels. We were kindly upgraded to Room 12, which provided a front-row view of the hippo pond and giraffes and elephants traversing the savanna. While the hippos can be loud, earplugs easily mitigated any disturbance. Wider Facilities: The design beautifully balances safari-style tents on the outside with luxury hotel decor on the inside. The main lobby area offers ample seating, a lovely fire in the evening, and a veranda perfect for evening drinks. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her massage at the spa overlooking the river. There is a non-heated pool, though we didn't use it. One recommendation would be to retreat the wooden flooring around the camp, as it is starting to look quite weathered.

From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so cared for. I traveled with my mom and my 3 kids age 12, 15, and 18. They make sure we are safe walking to our tents at night. (There’s no fences so animals are around.) We stayed 3 nights and had game drives each day seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos etc.) At lunch, we had baboons come and steal the salt and pepper shakers and we were thoroughly amused! The pool is great for kids! And the massage tent is great for adults!

The team at the Olare Kempinski Mara (driver-David, Manager-Dominic, Wait Staff-Benson, Kelvin, Hezron, Nathan and team & Spa Professional-Linet) made our honeymoon a success with their dedicated service and kindness. The grounds are upscale, yet remain true to a safari experience. The rooms are nicely sized, have charming decor, and wonderful views of the conservancy. Whether you want to participate in daily game drives and other activities, or relax by the pool, in the main lobby and dining areas, and spa, Olare Kempinski Mara will deliver on your wants and needs. It truly feels like a once in a lifetime experience where guests are treated well beyond expectations. As you can see in the photos, Chef Kevin and team provide amazing dishes every meal—whether on menu or off. We will be back! Asante Olare Kempinski Mara team. Alex & Jay (July 2025)
