Find your sanctuary in the heart of the Masai Mara
Mindful Experiences


Doing well by doing good
Set like a shining star in the authentic forest of Oloirien (wild olive tree) – Kenya, on the top of the Oloololo escarpment, located near Lollgorian and with a 10 minutes drive from “the big five” wildlife in the magnificent Masai Mara, our lodges are wrapped around by native trees meeting the sweeping bush grass in the seasonal path of the awe-inspiring Great Migration, the Oreteti Mara Lodge reflects the spirit of ancient Masai land.
Masai Mara, a remarkable National Game Reserve which many safari travellers deem the finest game reserve on the continent of Africa!
Wild, raw, real: your safari starts here
Your stay is more than where you sleep, it’s how you feel while you’re here. Some travellers come to reconnect in stillness, others in shared stories and starlit conversations.
Whatever your rhythm, we’ve created spaces that meet you where you are. Each space, every pathway, is designed to gently blend into the landscape without compromising your comfort. So, whether you’re nestled beneath a canopy of trees or gazing out across sweeping plains, your accommodation invites you to slow down and feel rooted in this remarkable ecosystem.
Luxury safari tent

Our elevated canvas tents offer the best of both worlds: the thrill of sleeping in the wild and the luxury a modern tented en-suite offers. You’ll fall asleep to the chirps of crickets and wildlife in the distance, and wake to golden light spilling through.
Each luxury tent features a king-size bed, a hot shower, a large private deck, coffee/tea station, a cozy reading nook and wide-open views of the savannah. Thoughtfully designed with locally crafted furniture, solar lighting and natural ventilation, these tents are a true reflection of sustainable style: perfect for couples, solo explorers, and anyone dreaming of a classic safari under canvas.

Learning by doing
Oreteti Mara Lodge is deeply committed to the secrets of the Masai culture, its wildlife, conservation and all its people.
The Oreteti Mara Lodge is an hotel school lodge under the umbrella of the Maasai Education Center (MEC), run by local Maasai students learning the curricula of the hospitality industry, under the supervision of professionals. The MEC is an initiative of The Style Foundation in the Netherlands.
Pick any safari lodge in the Masai Mara and you will find one of our former students working there. Our winning concept of the hospitality school? Building bridges! This welfare project was begun to help Maasai tribal leaders find ways to preserve their traditions whilst balancing the education needs of their children for the modern world.

EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Marcel Leeraar2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een fantastisch ontvangst door de studenten in Masai stijl! Vanaf dat moment is het alleen maar genieten, van de prachtige natuur, de ontzettend lieve mensen en natuurlijk de gamedrive en wildlife wat we hebben gezien. Het verblijf in de tent was super, heerlijk rustig, ruim en luxe. Echt een aanrader! We hebben hier een fantastische tijd gehad Emma Sophie2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wat een geweldige ervaring heb ik hier gehad. Vanaf moment 1 werd ik met open armen ontvangen. De mensen de studenten, iedereen is zo mega lief, onbeschrijfelijk. Het voelt echt als een warme familie als je hier aankomt en verblijft. Zelf heb ik verbleven in de tenten die echt prachtig waren. Mooi groen gelegen en wat kwam je heerlijk tot rust. Daarnaast hebben wij ook alle activiteiten gedaan die Oreteti Mara Lodge aanbied en stuk voor stuk waren ze fantastisch. Ik kom hier zeker nog eens terug!!! anne boek2024-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The true Masai experience, we loved it. Most of the staff are students and it’s great to see how the run the hotel together. We normally stay in more luxurious lodges. But this one stands out because of the students. They are eager the learn, are most friendly and need all the support they can get. By staying at Oreteti Mara you can support the Masai students while having a great time. We went on several game drives, visited a Masai family, learned so much about the sacred tree, went on a bush walk and had breakfast and lunch near the hippo’s in the river. Thanks again to all the great staff. Lotte Rippen2024-06-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place.

De Oreteti Mara Lodge is een ontzettend mooie en fijne lodge om te verblijven. Het is een heel mooi scholen project waar het behouden van de masaai cultuur centraal staat. Ik heb hele leuke excursies gedaan, bijvoorbeeld een lunch met uitzicht op de Masai Mara en natuurlijk een safari! Wat een fijne plek!
