This is a five star camp. Well located , perfect price-budget and actually the camp is located near Mara River in the southern sector of the Mara Triangle. The campsite is cool for small group and has splendid view of the Mara River. It has good access road and the best part is that it is not far from wildebeest crossing points. We had a great time there.
This is by far our best vaccation, from the greeting to the end you feel in a very exclusive environement. All the staff is very skilled, friendly and dedicated. The guide are very good, we had a very good time with Paul, we have been to so many incredible excursion and daily surprises (such as the dinner in the bush, but i won't tell the others). We stayed at Olarro Plain, we spent lot of time in the other lodges, both are amazing. There is a true feeling a luxury and exclusivness in this hotel, we loved the food, for the middle of kenya it's very impresive, even if some dished especially for the breakfast could be enhanced, but i'm french and the croissant is something important for us. On top of that we have been lucky to meet the manager of the hotel and of the reseve, they are both lovely and i have memorable time with Bill. We hope to be able to bring back all the familly one day, it's a true exclusive experience.…

If tripadvisor allowed for one rating above 5 stars per year this would be my choice. My family and I spend 4 days at Olarro and the experience was simply amazing. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised that we were upgraded to the Little Olarro suite. The suite had two bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a huge living room that was more than adequate for my family. In advance of arrival we notified Olarro that we were pescatarians and that proved to be very helpful. Breakfast lunch and dinner were each 3 course gourmet meals with both vegetarian and fish options. We chose our meal choices one meal in advance. Peter did an outstanding job co-ordinating our meals and providing us snacks and drinks when we were by the pool on on our balcony relaxing between or after excursions. Laundry was also included in our stay which was a nice surprise and very helpful as you become quite dusty after the game drives. Our guide Dominic was simply spectacular. He is Masai and was very well connected which truly enhanced our experience. We did game drives in both Olarro and Masai Mara. In Olarro the animals were closer together and more abundant but in Masai Mara we saw lions, hippos and cheetahs which we did not see at Olarro. At Masai Mara Dominic was very well connected. He was tuned with the other guides and quickly found out where to spot the animals. As a result of Dominics instincts were were able to see a cheetah eating a gizele which he must of killed five minutes before we arrived (we were the only ones there). We did the quad biking at Olarro twice and that was simply spectacular. There is nothing quite as amazing a quad biking next to a herd of 20 giraffes or riding beside galloping zebras and wildebeests. One of the best experiences that we had was at the market. We happened to go on a Thursday which is the day that that sheep and cows are sold. We wanted to do something to give back to the community and we asked Dominic if we could purchase a sheep and donate it to a local Masai community. Within minutes Dominic made this all happen. He helped us negotiate the price for the goat ($US 30), buy a rope for a leash for the goat, transport the goat with us to the village and the donation of the goat to the village. At the village a father and about 20 children were waiting for us the bring the goat and a whole dedication ceremony was arranged. My kids took videos of this event and in the end this unplanned idea turned out to be the most memorable part of our trip. We hope that Olarro adds this to the this of their great activities. Overall, our experience at Olarro was spectacular. It was luxurious, fun and meaningful all at the same time. Olarro is not just a hotel but it is an experience. We fully recommend Olarro and hope to return one day.…
