We had an exceptional stay here at the Olengoti Eco Safari Camp. All staff members including the Masai were incredibly welcoming and very attentive throughout our stay here. All meals are served outdoors looking onto the lake, with the option to eat indoors too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Was much below our expectations. The breakfast was the same everyday with very limited choices. The tents were so basic with no heaters or fans.. both are needed as day is super hot and nights are chilly. Very disappointing stay and amenities offered at the price they charged for our last leg of the trip.

We stayed here for 3 nights, and it was absolutely magical! I’ll admit, I was initially a bit apprehensive about staying at a "camp" and sleeping in a "tent." The lodge I originally wanted was fully booked, and this camp was recommended by our travel agent as an alternative. It turned out to be one of the best places we've ever stayed. First of all, the "tent" was far from roughing it. It had a hot shower, flush toilet, and very comfortable beds—we slept like babies every night! Even if you're not a "camping" person, you’ll feel completely at ease. I was also concerned that my child might get bored, since the camp only has a main lobby and tents, but we had such a great time just exploring the grounds and watching wildlife. We saw hippos roaming near the camp at night, and even a big baboon family with lots of babies during breakfast—so surreal! But the true highlight of this place is the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. After each safari, we looked forward to returning to the camp because of their warm welcome (complete with a refreshing warm towel!). A special thank you to Francis, whose exceptional service and kindness made such an impression—my child still misses him! And Stella, the manager, was always checking in to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The Masai warriors were also so friendly, and we felt very safe walking around the camp at night with their guidance. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you to everyone at the camp for making our first safari experience so magical. We are already dreaming of coming back!

We had a wonderful time at the camp. This is the first place that we stayed on our trip and it was such a great start. The staff is some of the nicest people, we were amazed by the level of kind and incredible service during our stay. Our tent was also very comfortable and food was great. We loved eating by the river and watching the hippos plus monkeys. Thank you Stella for the warm hospitality and amazing stay!

It was a pleasant stay at Olengoti! We had been well taken care of during the 2 nights stay. There was welcome dance from the team upon arrival with wet hand towel. They always prepare wet towels when we returned from game drives. All staffs are friendly and attentive. They were always be there to help during day and night. Masai crews will walk around and escort you to the room to ensure you are safe, as there are many wild animals surrounding the camp during night time. Breakfast and dinner were served outdoor and you can choose to dine indoor. Food was really good and was prepared according to your preferences. You will be asked when you would like to have breakfast, dinner and shower. In addition, they will help to make up the room during the day, as well as prepare the room for sleeping. On the departure day, they even prepared us snack box for us and our tour guide. What a surprise as we didn't expect that. This is so sweet! I highly recommend this place!
