Sustainability isn’t just part of what we do, it’s the core of who we are. Oreteti Mara Lodge sits at the heart of the Oloirien Conservancy, one of the 24 Masai Mara conservancies that now protect over 400,000 acres of critical habitat.

Eco-conscious, everyday
Ever wondered what it’s like to stay in a lodge that genuinely gives back Out here, every choice matters. In a land where wildlife roams free, ancient traditions endure and our daily practices aim to honour both.
From the energy that lights your room, to the meals shared under starlit skies; each detail reflects a deeper commitment. These are the quiet actions that define truly sustainable safaris in Kenya:
- Solar Power: We harness the sun to power the lodge, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
- Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting, water-efficient fittings and eco-friendly wastewater systems help protect our precious water supply.
- Waste Management: We reduce, reuse, and recycle wherever possible, with minimal single-use plastics on site.
- Local Sourcing: Our kitchen champions seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients sourced from our local garden, nearby farmers and suppliers.

Conservation in action
We actively support the long-term health of the place we call home through habitat restoration and partnering with like minded eco-warriors.
We’re also proud stewards of the sacred Dupoto Forest, an elephant calving ground and cultural treasure. Guided forest walks with our student ambassadors reveal the ancient knowledge, rare species and sacred stories rooted in its soil.
Our lodge was built with the Maasai Education Centre in mind; to provide training, employment and opportunity for young people across the region.We also invest in education, local-led enterprises and socio-cultural initiatives that work to ensure that the benefits of tourism stay within the community.
