Elangata Olerai Luxury Tented Camp

What a terrific tented camp! If you really would like an African experience then this is the place to be. It's probably less luxurious than other tented camps such as Siana Springs, but you get a lot in return: lovely personnel and teriffic Masai people and Askari to watch over you. And they will with all of their heart! Beautiful tents with good matrasses, a beautiful Kenyan environment and the road to the camp is a real African massage experience, I can assure you. We had a lovely bush dinner organised by the personnel, most lovely and genuine persons. Nice (African) food and a nice pool.

Staying at Elangata Olerai Camp was one of the most wonderful experience we had in Kenya. We stayed there for two nights during our safari in Masai Mara national Park. The lodge is authentic, held by local Masai community. It is located very close to the park. We even heard zebras during the night ! The meals were delicious, home made and generous. One of us has food allergies but it has never been a problem during our stay thanks to the staff. The staff was very caring, friendly and kind. We felt at home at Elangata Olerai camp. We highly recommend this place for your stay in Masai Mara !

Spent the holiday at Elangata Olerai Luxury Camp located in a serene, natural and picturesque environment overlooking the Maasai Mara National Reserve and I would say the place is amazing. The reception by its team of staff was top notch and the food was awesome as well. I would recommend you check it out next time you are on your trip to the park. The Maasai Dance made our night and should be done often to entertain guests and usher them to learn the local culture and way of the people. Also don’t miss a visit to the Maasai Village; it was amazing.

This place is anything but “value.” There was very short window of electricity and wifi, which the staff lied about upon booking our stay. Additionally, there was not clean water, and it was generally not safe to be there. Tents had holes in them and no mosquito nets. Half of the tents didn’t have flushing toilets or any sort of separation between the toilet, shower, and beds. The water was orange/brown and it didn’t even seem safe to wash your hands. The sink in my bathroom hadn’t been cleaned in some time and neither had the cobwebs near the beds. In one room that did have a mosquito net, there was a spider in a web with very large eggs. If we were to use that mosquito net we would’ve had a much bigger problem. Some tents also did not have locks, not to mention that the camp didn’t have any fencing or gating to keep their guests safe. The dining tent had holes in the floor which many people tripped over. The pictures that they advertise online are nothing like the place. It’s gross, unsafe, invaluable, and disrespectful. Even though the staff were friendly, they didn’t even know where our tents were. The food was even worse. Myself and many of the people I traveled with got severely sick, to the point of needing to go to the hospital. When we asked the staff what meat they were serving they didn’t know. If I could give this place negative stars I would. Between the safety, cleanliness, and disrespect there is no way I would ever visit again.

please dont come here… this place is very unsanitary and the photos are lying to you. the tents are falling apart and it is very unsafe. toilets don’t work, doors falling apart, water is not clean, and so much more save your money and go somewhere else. -kh

This place did not look like the pictures. Many of the rooms do not have working toilets and electricity is only available for a few hours a day (makes the refrigeration skeptical at best). My tent did not have a lock, and the lodge is not fenced. This place has definitely fallen into disrepair and the manager would not acknowledge our concerns.

Could only stay for a night due to the safety and health hazards. No mosquito nets, holes in tent, no working toilets, brown water, and holes in the floor. Everyone in my travel group became sick from eating the food here. Also FYI The staff write all the good reviews for this place.

As business owner, I decided to move the vacation for my staff to Maasai Mara mostly because of the National Reserve after our last experience in Ghana. Seriously it was never a bad idea. We had good attention and staff bonding as expected. It was a good place to be for us.
