The Camp

Quiet luxury on the edge of the wild

Oltukai Mara Camp is an intimate luxury safari camp set in the heart of the Maasai Mara, Kenya. Named for the enduring olive trees of the savannah, we welcome travellers seeking refined tented living, exceptional guiding, and warm Kenyan hospitality. Days unfold with game drives across open plains; evenings settle into quiet decks, lantern light, and the sounds of the bush. Our camp is deliberately small, designed for guests who prefer space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the land.

To deliver an unforgettable safari experience that honours wildlife, culture, and the land. Every stay is crafted around thoughtful guiding, generous hospitality, and respect for the greater Mara ecosystem that makes this place extraordinary.
