The property was in a good position for safari. The staff were really friendly and the food for lunch and evening meals was delicious. The experience at the hotel was really authentic and loved the rented accommodation. We were very fortunate to see monkeys by the pool.

Bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve, Basecamp Masai Mara offers eco-friendly, luxury camping in the heart of the savannah. The basecamp features panoramic views of the surroundings and local wildlife.

Mara Lodges Airport is 50 km away from Masai Mara Basecamp while Ol Kiombo Airstrip is 23.3 km away. Transfers and transport can be arranged for a surcharge.

It was our second visit to Mara NP, but our first time sleeping within these grounds. Waking up with a river view and having zebras or hyenas or giraffes looking right across is mesmerising. The tent was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for three persons. Esmo was assigned to take care of us at meal times and he did a wonderful job. The meals were freshly prepared and very good. It was like a set menu and there was always a vegeterian option. The Masai also made us feel safe in the evening while escorting us.

Olaloi Mara Camp has river views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in Masai Mara.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving African, American and Italian cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and halal options can also be requested.

Our three days at Olaloi were just amazing. We we're welcomed by Jemimah, Jacob and the whole team in person. James, the Chef, prepared a late lunch for us and the highlight of day one was the Kenyan Tea around the bonfire, where we got a Maasai Welcome Dance by the camp team, which was absolutely stunning. Through our whole stay, everyone gave everything to make our time as great as possible. Thanks again for taking us into Maasai Tradition. I can highly recommend, spending time at Olaloi Mara Camp and enjoy the authentic and very warm hospitality.

    We stayed in this lodge with my sister. The man at the reception was so kind - he upgraded us to the room with a view over the river and that completely changed the whole experience: being so close to hippos was absolutely wonderful. We could hear them at night even, magical! And at night we also saw elephants and giraffes coming to the river, literally at the gate of the camp - it was splendid. Excellent location for a safari in Masai Mara.

    Staff were incredibly friendly, especially the girls in the restaurant. And the two cooks too. Great food and plenty of it as well. Easy to take a breakfast or a lunch with you if wanna leave for an early or a whole day safari. We made reservations for a room, but got offered a tent, which we gladly took as the room looked not as comfy as the tent (warm, small windows without insectscreens). Hippos, crocs and kingfishers in river next to lodge. Even an elephant dropped by. Definetely worth a stay.

    Everything, a stunning camp in a lovely location with the friendliest team we have ever had. The welcome at the airstrip to the farewell - was all first class. John (Safari Guide) was incredible and provided some excellent viewing with the lions being incredible. Joshua and Lawrence in the dining area were attentive and charming and provided 5* service. The slide show talk on Masai culture was excellent. Food was brilliant- 4/5 course meals.

    The stay was very good. The tent was new and also the furnitures. The bed was found very comfortable and wide, we slept all nights long except when we woke up and heard the wild animals. The staff made everything to make us feel like home and they were excellent. The lodge is situated just 1 minute from the gate to the Mara. We can strongly recommend this tented camp! Lina and Martin

    We had an amazing stay at Greenwood. Price quality is excellent and I really would not have changed it for a 600 euro a night lodge! Magdy is a super nice person, gave us a free tent upgrade and helped us with everything (safari, balloon flight, rides to Nairobi). The tents are good and the whole camping looks really nice, you can relax in the hammocks, take a swim in the pool and go for a small walk to the river (where you also have amazing sunsets).

    This was a fantastic place to go on safari in the Masai Mara. It was a beautiful location, surrounded by animals, many of which wandered the camp at night. The game drives were very good, lots of information given. We saw everything we wanted to see. The tents are well equipped and comfortable. We had the farthest one away from the lodge but never felt worried or scared by the animals roaming around.

    At the time of our trip, we could get an all-inclusive room in AA lodge cottages for 100 $ per night, which was a value for the money choice compared to campsite offers. With this price, I would say all was good and their pictures are helpful to know what you should expect. The location is just outside of the park, with a short drive to it. They gave us packed lunches for our safari day and the day of our departure.
