Property info

Deep within Africa's finest game reserve, The Masai Mara, our luxury camp, Olare Mara Kempinski welcomes you to a sanctuary of Kempinski comfort. Get up close and intimate with Lion Prides, resident Leopard and Cheetah, Elephants and Giraffe and numerous other animals, yet always feel safe and pampered.

Neighborhood info

The expansive Olare Motorogi Conservancy borders the Masai Mara National Reserve and is home to an abundance of animals including all the big cats for which the Mara is famous. It forms part of a vital buffer zone between the Mara Reserve and the wildlife dispersal areas surrounding it. Wildlife presence, population and diversity have greatly increased since the establishment of the conservancy. The conservancy today offers pleasant and exclusive viewing of game in a pristine environment, with a rich and diverse wildlife population rarely found anywhere else on the African savanna. The area encompassed within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy is a strategic buffer zone for the Masai Mara National Reserve and the wildlife migration corridors, and will be secured from incompatible land usage, such as wheat farming, charcoal production and subsistence agriculture, which together displace wildlife habitats at an alarming rate in the Narok district. Olare Motorogi Conservancy is set to be a world-class conservancy, generating sustainable income for the landowners, and supporting an increase in wildlife habitat beyond the Masai Mara National Reserve.
