Olare Mara Kempinski Safari Camp

Ideal for a couple or two people sharing, the Honeymoon suite is arguably one of the most romantic getaways one can experience. A dedicated plunge pool provides the perfect opportunity to soak with your loved one while sipping on sundowners and watching the hippos frolic in the river.

Set further away from the main camp, the secluded Honeymoon suite provides total privacy, allowing you to bask in the elegant and serene atmosphere crafted by the colonial-style setting. Whether it be immersing yourself in a bubble bath accompanied by a spectacular view of the Mara plains, indulging in an intimate lantern-lit dinner on the exterior dining area, or simply spoiling yourself with an in-tent couple’s massage, the Honeymoon suite sits you in the lap of luxury without ever having to leave your room.

Taking inspiration from the elegant style of a traditional Edwardian hunting safari tent, the rooms at Olare Mara Kempinski are raised on wooden decks to optimise the surrounding view. Each tent is named after the unique view it provides – the Olmakau (Hippopotamus) room overlooks the hippo pools of the Ntiakitiak River and the Nayokutuk (Vervet Monkey) room delivers Vervet monkey sightings all day.

Echoing design elements of a bygone-era, each tent features a private wrap-around verandah, offering  panoramic views of the wilderness and providing the opportunity to see the animals (such as giraffe, hippos, hyenas, elephants and more) up close as they graze and play near the camp – keep an ear out for the monkey chattering, whooping of the hyenas and lions coughing that can be heard clearly from inside your tent.

Olare Mara Kempinski’s top priority is to provide an authentic safari experience in which modern comforts are effortlessly blended with rudiments of the past. Soft, inviting King-sized beds, Nespresso coffee machines and a bath with a dramatic view of the savannah are housed in tents that provide the feel of an under-canvas safari experience. Leaving no need to compromise comfort for authenticity – be at one with nature without having to sacrifice your screen time.

Each room boasts elements reminiscent of the original safari tents, giving you the sense of the early days of African exploration.
