“Very nice tented camp”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

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.

“A clean relaxing camp”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

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.

“Ol-Moran Tented Camp July 2012”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012

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 and utility to provide true hot water and toliets in tents really works. We enjoyed the bar nightly and ran up quite a bill with 6 adults. They didn't take credit cards for the bar tab so make sure you have enough cash. The food was excellent. We had my wife and 4 kids (age 18 to 23)-they loved it more than us. The most noticeable thing is how quiet it can be in the middle of Africa. The sheer silence of the night, except for animals, put us in a wonderful sleep. Breakfast and dinner were both exception and they also made a great boxed lunch that we enjoyed during our Safari. The memories at Ol-moran will never be forgotten. We traveled all the way from South Carolina USA

Room Tip: We liked the closer tents to the main dining area

“Great Tented Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

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 the air pressure problem.But on the whole we would recommend this camp as it completes the safari experience.The rooms were very clean and there were moe problems with insects or mosquitoes.
The food also was good.

Room Tip: Any room is fine as you really get the safari experience staying in a tent
