  Luxury and Hospitality at Naboisho Our stay at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, Debbie welcomed us with such warmth and friendliness that we felt at home immediately. The entire camp is a beautiful blend of luxury and comfort, and the staff is genuinely committed to excellence. Under William’s expert leadership, the service was seamless. Mooi, Cass, and Josef were incredibly attentive, ensuring every need was met before we even had to ask. They truly "accomplished the mission" of making us feel pampered and well-cared for. However, our most heartfelt appreciation goes to Isaac, our guide. His knowledge and passion made our daily tours of the Naboisho Conservancy unforgettable. He didn't just show us wildlife; he gave us an incredible, immersive experience that we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a luxurious escape with a team that feels like family, this is it.

  Hemmingways Ol Seki was one of the most exhilarating stays we've had! A phenomenal experience on game drives, whilst the room, the pool, the food and the setting was simply stunning. We saw some truly amazing things on our game drives - including tracking a buffalo kill and an up close elephant encounter. Wow. The staff really blew us away - from playing soccer with the camp staff, to the local village visit and of course the real MVP Patrick! Patrick was an extrordinary guide, not only did he live and breath the Mara (it showed in his incredible knowledge of the area and animals) but he has a fantastic sense of humour. The long game drives were so much fun with Patrick! We also met some great people staying at the camp. We came not knowing what to expect and left knowing we will return! Cannot recommend this wonderful camp and its staff highly enough!

  I don’t even know where to begin, we’ve just arrived home from our trip, and this lodge is one of the most incredibly special places we’ve ever stayed. The Nina tents are beautifully decorated and offer stunning views across the conservancy. Within just five minutes of sitting on our patio, we saw elephants wandering by - an unforgettable welcome. Every member of staff was exceptional. Our guides, Ben (Bernard) and Sidney, were incredibly knowledgeable and seemed able to find everything we hoped to see. They were warm, friendly, and made each game drive a joy, sharing fascinating stories from their Maasai culture. The food was spectacular, it felt like enjoying gourmet dining in the middle of the wilderness. The wait staff were attentive, warm, and genuinely lovely. What truly sets this lodge apart are the thoughtful little touches: hot drinks delivered as a wake-up call, hot water bottles placed in the bed at turn-down, and countless other details that made our stay feel so personal and special. As part of our trip, we did a hot air balloon safari, which required a day excursion into the main reserve. While we loved the balloon experience, it confirmed that choosing Ol Seki in the private Naboisho Conservancy was absolutely the right decision. The main reserve felt crowded, with vehicles jostling for position, we even saw tourists arguing at a leopard sighting, and the enclosed vehicles used there were far less comfortable. In contrast, Hemingways’ open-sided vehicles and the exclusivity of the conservancy made every drive feel more enjoyable, intimate, and respectful to the wildlife. For all of these reasons, I wouldn’t hesitate to return or to recommend this incredible lodge to anyone. A special thank-you to Debbie for being such a welcoming and attentive host.

  Our stay at Hemingways' Ol Seki Mara Camp was absolutely incredible. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed with the most amazing staff. The Nina tents were luxurious, super clean, cozy, and private. It was really nice being able to sit outside alone on your balcony and relax after a game drive. Debbie and the rest of the staff were absolutely incredible. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special (shout out to Mike who spoiled us rotten!). The meals were delicious and the coffee delivery every morning was such a wonderful touch. There is so much love among everyone who works at Ol Seki Mara. Michael was the most amazing game drive guide. He is SO KNOWLEDGABLE about the animals and he made every minute of each drive exhilarating. The thrill of the "hunt" for the animals! He also took us to his village one afternoon and we had the privilege of learning about their culture and ways of living. That was by far the most amazing experience of my entire life and I will cherish that day forever. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. It was such a special stay and a trip I will never forget.

  Hemingways Ol Seki was absolute perfection. Came here with my partner for his birthday and it was an incredible experience. The staff are the kindest people you’ll meet, who will go above and beyond for you. Shoutout to Mel, Layler, and Lucas from the main reception/ dining room area. Food, rooms, and pool were also outstanding. I don’t even have words to describe how amazing the drives were. Mike was so incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and went out of his way to get us as close as possible (safely) to them, while respecting their space. Highly recommend to anyone considering a trip. No notes 100/10
