Accommodations in Masai Mara

Im so glad that I found Olaloi, it was easily the best option for exploring Maasai Mara! The communication at the start of the trip was seamless with Jemimah. We were picked up by the nicest driver, Mwangi who shared with us a lot about Kenyan cultures. We then went out for game drive with Jonathan and saw so many amazing animals, he had amazing eyesight and could spot the animals in the instance. We loved the open vehicle that they had - it allows us to truly immerse in the experience with the surrounding nature and it looks very different from the other vehicles we saw in the park. Jonathan also took amazing photo for us too, thank you Jonathan! We were even having breakfast and lunch in beautiful locations in the savannah and by Mara river. We were the only guests at the place and they treated us so well. The food was amazing, we were so full at the end of the day. And somehow we all really love the milk, it tastes so different, cant tell why. Thank you to everyone that took great care of us, Githong - the manager, John - the cook, and other people that we are so sorry we didnt catch their names. We truly hope the business will grow better and they will welcome more guests to their place! Please support local business. We hope to be back again, thank you for the magical trip!

Excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy an authentic safari experience. The camp is right next to the entrance and is an open camp so you might spot some animals on the premises - all kept super safe by the staff. The tents provide a luxurious glamping experience and the overall set up is respectful of local culture. The staff is super attentive with little details that show you they really care about their guests. Food is delicious and more than enough. My driver Sam was a rock star, very knowledgable of the are and game drives were awesome, packed with unique sightings and insights about the animals and park.

Everything was amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough. The food, the people, the service, the experience. It was well worth the price. They truly cater to all of your needs. I will revisit this review and update with more details but in short, a hidden gem!

Staying at Eti’s homestay was truly one of the highlights of my trip. Eti is such a lovely person and genuinely goes out of her way to make sure her guests have the best possible experience. She helped organize everything for me, including safaris, Maasai village visits, and trekking with knowledgeable local guides. She even found other travelers so we could share the safari costs, and made sure I always paid fair local prices, even at nearby restaurants. Breakfast was generous and delicious, and there’s also the option of full board, which makes everything easy and stress-free. I especially appreciated that the property is sustainable, using solar energy and harvesting rainwater. It felt good to stay somewhere that cares about the environment and the local community. What makes this place even more special is its support for local women who create beautiful beadwork. I was happy to buy some lovely handmade souvenirs knowing they directly empower the women who made them. The room was very clean, nicely decorated, and truly felt more like a home than just a room. The bed was comfortable, there was hot water, and the desk was perfect for remote workers like me. The location is unbeatable, it’s the first hotel right next to the park gate, which makes early morning safaris incredibly convenient. I was genuinely sad to leave, but I already know I’ll be back. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

The property is located very close to the entrance gates to the Masai Mara.

Love this camp. Right in the heart of Mara reserve. View of river is lovely. Not all rooms have view but lodge view is top. Hippos and crocodiles in river. Great sounds at night. Lovely location for exploring Mara. Staff was amazing. Great food and so nice. Hope I return one day

We had a really nice stay at Veilscamp. Not only Masai Mara by itself, even Veilscamp was the highlight of our whole Kenya-Trip. The food was amazing, we had 3 courses Menues, a tent all by ourselves and especially the staff was soo good. Peter stayed in contact with us even before we have arrived to get sure we get fresh lunch, Vivienne and Steve were all the time so kind and treated us so well. Thanks to all of you for making the stay unforgettable to us.
