Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp

We loved our stay at Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp, from the initial booking all the way through to our checkout. Andrea was incredibly professional, answered all our questions, and perfectly booked our transportation and game drives. The transportation from Nairobi with our driver, Kennedy, was very smooth, and we felt completely safe. Our accommodation was very clean and exactly what we were looking for, the food was excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly and professional. We booked two game drives and were thrilled with our driver and guide, Dominik. He made our safari very special; he is very knowledgeable and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. We are absolutely grateful he stayed with us for both game drives. We did one full-day drive, and on the other day, we went out in the morning and evening, visiting a local village during the lunch break. Thanks to Dominik, we saw the Big Five and more! We were very happy we made a good choice and will recommend this camp to everyone. Thank you all for making our stay special.

EVERYTHING - 10/10

Staff was amazing, our safari guide, Josef, was exceptional and the food was delicious. Highly recommendable!!!

The room decor and our waiter Jeff.

The inadequate water pressure and shower facilities. It looked to be very luxurious, but an actuality took a long time for the water to heat up enough to take a very inadequate shower. This was the one accommodation we were looking most forward to on our trip and the one we were the most disappointed with in the end. In between safari drives, there's absolutely nothing to do.The tents are so stiflingly hot that even spending time inside them, was brutal. At checkout, we were told that they could not run a credit card in Kenyan shillings, which made no sense whatsoever because of their obvious international clientele, and then added a fee for using a credit card. We booked eight different properties on this trip and not a single other property did either one of these things. We felt like what was advertised was not delivered, and were very disappointed in the end.
