i stayed in Olare for the first time over Easter was a fantastic experience. The staff are very friendly, you get to know them by name the game viewing is not comparable to any national park. We had a twelve hour game drive with no complaint from drivers. My only criticism is if it is raining you have to get... More

We have been to Olare many times with family and never once have we been disappointed! The place is very open and romantic.

I have stayed at Olare several times and found it to be an excellent place. Service is great; tents are gorgeous and game drives are excellent. We did a full day game drive (6.30am to 8pm) and no complaints from drivers or any of the staff.

I had a short trip to the Mara staying for only two nights. We landed and straight away saw olive (a leopard) and her cub in a tree with an impala hanging off the branch and a pride of lions with very small cubs. We got to the lodge around noon when I was surprised as to how beautiful the... More

Very good camp - great service and food, perfect interior. Staff seems to be lacking expeirience sometimes, but definitely trying hard to improve. Personal thanks to the manager and rangers - they do remarkable job. Great safaris - we were very lucky to see many beautiful animals (including big five) and rare situations of wild life.

We stayed there as a family of friends including a couple of grande dames and there was not a single thing to fault. From Geoff the manager, to David my room attendant, David the driver to Santosh the sous chef, nothing was left to chance and everything was possible and done to the highest standards.
