Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara  

On the wild edge of Olare Orok Conservancy in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. This boutique lodge has just 12 rooms, so expect a quiet, intimate stay deep in safari country. Wheelchair-accessible units and full accessibility make the property easy to navigate. A 24-hour reception keeps things smooth from arrival to departure.

Rooms open onto balconies or terraces and include a living area, desk, safe and modern bathroom touches like a hairdryer. Honeymoon suites step it up with private plunge pools. The lodge follows environmentally sustainable practices and keeps the vibe small and relaxed. Common spaces have Wi‑Fi so you can stay connected without crowding the view.

Multiple pools — indoor and outdoor — plus plunge pools in select suites give you options for cooling off after a safari. There’s a massage room and a solarium for laid-back recovery days. Find a well-stocked library and a lounge with a bar and restaurant on site. Tour assistance, transfers and parking are available, along with laundry, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box.

A conference hall can host meetings, board sessions or interviews. Wi‑Fi is available in the lounge and common areas for basic connectivity.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and the bar and lounge are ready for post-safari downtime. Stop by for a relaxed meal or a drink before you head back onto the plains.
