“Living in Tent on the Savannah”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

After 2 days at Lake Nakuru it was time for Masai Mare. The camp is just a 5 minutes drive from the entrance to the park, it is a small-tented camp but the tent and beds was nice, the bathroom is a small building in connection with the tent, this work all right. The restaurant is not big and the buffet is simple, but everything was of good standard. When the generator closes 22:00 it is quite fantastic to fall asleep to all the sounds of the savannah. The Ol-Moran is a basic camp giving a lot of value for the money.

“Great food, friendly service, amazing experience.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

This camp site is truly a wonderful experience of living close to nature but also feeling safe. The service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble and there is a friendly feel to the place.
The food was the best food experienced on my whole trip being fresh and tasty.
Thankyou for the experience :))

“Very good tented camp”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

This location is a 10 minutes drive from the Masai Mara national park. The camp works with a generator wich means that you only have electricity during the evening hours from 7 till 11 pm and in the morning from 6 or 7 till 9 am. The tents are very basic but clean. The meals are in buffet, you do not have a lot of choice but the quality is good. The staff is very helpfull and friendly. When we sat on the balcony from our tent we saw a baboon walking wich makes this tented camp a little bit more special.

“A good place to stay for the real attraction, Maasai Mara”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

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 day's exhilarating journey. My wife and I found the staff to be just what was needed after a day on the road. The tents are clean and the food adequate. Then on to the real attraction!

Room Tip: A couple of the tents are back off the main path.
