First make the choice of why you're in the Maasai Mara; to spend your time in the camp or maximize your time out seeing the incredible wildlife. If you're there to see the wildlife, then choose a tented camp like Ol-moran that is clean, safe, conveniently-located and relatively inexpensive. It provides a good place to rest up for the next...

We booked a safari with Visit Mount Kenya Tours, and we should have a private safari with 4-5 star accomodation the whole trip. Ol Moran definatly is not in that range, staff not polite, food was really not what we were used too, very little choise, not really enjoyable. When they were cleaning the tables after diner in the place... More

We really thank you for having brought this to our attention. We have carried out through investigation and have identified the member of staff involved. We have replaced him and we... More

The tents are basic but comfortable, with a variety of bed arrangements (double, double and twin, 2 doubles and twin, etc.). While the tents are spacious, the arrangement of beds in our tent meant you had to squeeze between beds to reach the (ensuite) bathroom (which was also quite large). The sleeping and bath rooms were clean, but the water... More

The tents are spacious and clean, the staff is very nice and the location is quite good as it is only 10 min away from Masai Mara entry gate. There are only 20 tents or so which makes this camp very quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend it.

The tents are nice, the food was good and the staff was friendly. There was electricity most of the time (when we were at the camp). Very good overall! But a small drawback is that there's a lot of trees around the camp, so you don't get the views as in other camps.

We booked through Natural World Safari Tours and were unsure what to expect. We went through the web site in detail. When they drove us up to the front door we were still unsure, then we went inside; greeted with a wonderful introduction. The rooms exceeded our expectation. This was our first experience in a tented camp so the construction... More

Staying in tents made us feel we were actually living with the animals.It was not everyday that you wake up early morning to the sound of an elephant trumpeting.There was a slight problem with the hot water in the bathroom as it was coming in short spells and then stopping.We called the house keeping ad they said that it was...

it is nice to stay in a place like a tented camp instead of a building, feel more like in the wild. They provide self-serviced meals which are the most delicious food I had in Kenya, especially the spaghetti with meat-ball!!! Chef YumYum create many excellent yummy sauce!! Basically it is safe and all the staff are very nice and... More
