Oldarpoi Mara Camp

I am tremendously pleased with our stay. Just nothing to complain about - the luxurious tents were clean and spacious with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. My bed was so comfortable that I felt like sleeping on a cloud. Food was delicious and the staff... just really made this place special. So kind and helpful, always trying to make our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this place to everyone visiting Masai Mara!

This was our first visit to Kenya and after reading about Oldarpoi and the Nashulai Conservancy being owned and managed by the local Maasai people, we decided to stay there as we loved the idea of tourism for social change. I am struggling to find the words to explain what a truly wonderful experience this was, made all the more special by the wonderful people who work there. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of our usual everyday life. It was so peaceful and relaxing and we learned so much from our incredible Maasai guide Moses. It’s a wonderful location for visiting the Maasai Mara just a few minutes drive from the main gates. We did game drives in Nashulai Conservancy and the Mara, a walking safari from the camp to learn about life in the bush and which also included visiting the local Maasai village. We also did an early morning ballon ride to see the sunrise followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush which was a once in a lifetime experience. |During our stay we were able to volunteer at a local community clinic and visited the college in the conservancy which is doing a fantastic job at educating and empowering the local youth. |The camp itself has a lovely restaurant, bar and outdoor seating area and we enjoyed some great food and evening drinks by the fire pit.|The swimming pool was much larger than we expected looking at the photos on the website and a great way to relax and cool off following morning safaris. A few more sun loungers around the pool would be beneficial for busier times although it wasn’t a problem for us.|We were made to feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were all brilliant and all wore the biggest smiles.|Special thank you to Esther for planning our itinerary and arranging our volunteering, Johnston on reception, Sophie on reception and the college, Thomas our housekeeper, all the guards who walked us to our accommodation after dark, Daniel for showing us round his Maasai village and Nashipai who brought me my favourite cocktail every night with the biggest smile. |Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to Moses our incredible guide for sharing his knowledge of the bush and for showing us the sensational wildlife around the camp, Nashulai and the Maasai Mara. He is AMAZING.|Our first trip to Oldarpoi but definitely not our last.

This place is incredibly beautiful and comfortable, even nicer than the pictures! We really enjoyed the swimming pool in particular, and the resident Eland. The staff was also very kind and helpful! Worth every penny

I had the most amazing time here - the camp is beautiful and the tents are really well equipped. Everyone was really friendly and chatty, making me feel at home despite coming by myself. It’s so close to the national park which cannot be described it’s so amazing - my guide Moses was incredible, showing me everything. The food was delicious with great options and they were really accommodating at making things gluten free (including a whole cake for me!). Would love to come back again. Sending my love to Moses and the team!

This is one of the most magical places during our trip in Kenya. Our group was welcomed with the most heart warming ceremony and delicious dinner - it was so touching that we will never forget it! The delicious food, amazing view over Masai Mara, kindness of the staff and glimpse of the true Masai culture! Thank you for Oldarpoi team for this unforgettable experience.

Thank you for having me. The hospitality was outstanding. Oldarpoi Mara Camp is a wonderful home base to get to know the Nashulai Conservancy and the Maasai Mara. A clean and tidy tent, the patio, the swimming pool, … are great places to relax.

I stayed 4 days at the Oldarpoi Mara Camp and booked a package including the Safari Tours. The tent-rooms are cozy and clean. Food is delicious. And the pool is great to chill after a long day. The staff is authentic and super friendly. I just can recommend staying here and get to know africa. It‘s people, culture and nature.

Really didn't know what to expect. The price was so cheap (£400 for 3 nights for 5 of us) so was dubious...but oh my goodness! ||So the location was great- just 5 minutes from the park gate. Set in gorgeous gardens - we stayed in a 2 bedroom little house and it was clean and serviceable. ||Staff were amazing- special mention to Sabore in the restaurant, Margaret on reception and our room attendants Nathan and Nixon.||And Moses our guide was wonderful. We saw absolutely everything (apart from rhino) on our day in the park which was out of this world.
