About Mara Olodare

About Mara Olodare

Mara Olodare means “red waters” in the native Masai language. As we interacted with the local community we found out that the stream from our camp flows into a swamp that nurtures more communities and they call the swamp ‘Olodare’. Our desire from the onset as hoteliers was to set-up accommodations that are ecofriendly and offer a sustainable yet flourishing future for locals and guests, therefore in this same reverent spirit we named the camp “Mara Olodare”.

Our passion and concern for ensuring that guests in our care receive the utmost enjoyable guest experience is embedded in our team spirit from reservations, pick up, stay, departure including our follow up after guests return to their daily life to seek for feedback to thereby become better.

You can easily make a reservation through our website which offers a friendly experience, best price guarantee with instant confirmation. Most Guests stays are commonly three nights, four days minimum so as to really enjoy as much as possible on Masai mara, guests can enjoy one night to as many days as they prefer. We arrange for Airport Pick up and Drop off. If using your own transport, we recommend using a four wheel drive vehicle.

As a goodly Masai Mara neighbour just steps apart, we are an eco-friendly camp ensuring that guests enjoy the Masai Mara while at the same time being mindful of the environment.
