Olkeri Mara Camp

Olkeri Mara Camp is a luxury tented camp on the eastern edge of the Maasai Mara, set on the Oloonkewuan Hills in Siana Conservancy. It offers sweeping views, a quiet hilltop setting, and a good balance of comfort, privacy, and safari access.

Location & Setting

The camp is located in Siana Conservancy on the Oloonkewuan Hills, about 20 minutes from Sekenani Gate. That makes it a convenient base for exploring the Maasai Mara while still staying outside the busier reserve core. Its elevated position gives it panoramic views over the plains and rolling hills below.

Accommodation & Style

Olkeri Mara Camp has 12 luxury tents, including 10 standard tents and 2 deluxe tents. The camp is designed as a classic safari tented property with a luxury finish, rather than a lodge-style hotel. The deluxe tents are especially suited to honeymooners and families.

Rooms & Comfort

All tents are en-suite and include hot showers, flushing toilets, and solar-powered electricity, with generator backup. The camp also uses natural spring water, which adds to the self-contained bush feel. Overall, the accommodation is comfortable and practical, with a strong sense of being in nature.

Facilities & Dining

The camp has a kitchen garden, a well-stocked bar, a lounge and terrace, and a campfire seating area. Meals feature both international and local cuisine, and the camp’s own water spring is used as part of its on-site service setup. It feels intimate and well thought out, with a focus on a relaxed safari routine.

Safari Experience

Olkeri Mara Camp is well placed for the Great Migration between July and October, when wildlife movement through the Mara is at its peak. Guests can reach the reserve quickly for game drives, and the area around the camp is also rich in birds and wildlife year-round. Its position makes it suitable for both migration-focused stays and general Maasai Mara safari trips.

Atmosphere & Service

The atmosphere is serene, scenic, and fairly exclusive, with a strong emphasis on nature and conservation. The camp’s hilltop setting and smaller scale make it feel quieter than larger lodge properties. It is a good choice for travelers who want a more intimate stay with wide-open views and a classic tented-camp experience.

Ideal For

Olkeri Mara Camp is ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, and travelers who want a luxury tented stay near the Maasai Mara without being inside the busiest parts of the reserve. It works especially well for guests who value views, privacy, and easy access to the Mara’s migration corridor. For a scenic and comfortable conservancy camp, it is a strong option.
