Lodges in Talek

**An Unforgettable Experience – A Dream Come True in the Heart of Maasai Mara** From the moment we arrived at this incredible tented camp, my wife and I knew we were about to experience something truly special — and it exceeded every expectation. For four unforgettable nights, we were immersed in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, wildlife beyond imagination, and the kind of peace you only find in nature. But what truly made this stay extraordinary was the warmth and hospitality of the people who made us feel like family from the very beginning. The tented camp was pure magic — luxurious yet beautifully connected to its wild surroundings. Falling asleep to the sounds of lions in the distance and waking to the songs of birds as the sun rose over the savannah is something we will never forget. The attention to detail, the comfort, the warmth of the campfire under the stars — it was like stepping into a dream. Every game drive was a new adventure, and our guide’s deep knowledge, respect for the land, and ability to track wildlife left us in awe. We witnessed the Big Five, playful cheetah cubs, herds of elephants, and even a leopard lounging in a tree — moments that made us feel truly alive and connected to something greater. But it was the people who made our stay exceptional. The staff treated us not as guests, but as dear friends. Their kindness, stories, laughter, and care touched our hearts deeply. We came for the wildlife, but we left with full hearts, beautiful memories, and lifelong connections. Thank you to everyone at the camp for giving us one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives. This was not just a vacation — it was a journey of the soul. We left a piece of our hearts in the Mara, and we can’t wait to return.

Liked the lication and the people working inside the camp. All the people were very much helpful, specially the chef. Foods were excellent even the location is inside forest. Many animel can be spotted near the camp itself during safari. Did not like - no wi-fi at room and no internet connection , it is not acceptable specially it is mentioned in booking details. No phone connection at room, our tent allotted was far away from reception, we had to walk every time to the reception for any issue. Water pressure in toilet was very less at night, sometimes toilet flush was not working properly. With cost is not less with respect to nearby camp, hence these were not expected. I should not say it was a good value for money.

Acacia Hotel is in a very good location, by the Talek River and it is very convenient to take a hot air balloon in the morning. The room is spacious, bright, clean and tidy, equipped with emergency lights at night. The staff are super enthusiastic. As soon as we get off the car, they will hand us hot towels and drinks. The restaurant is my favorite, very good taste and there are many kinds of buffets. The desserts are quite delicious. It is even more interesting to book a bush dinner in advance. There is also a big antelope in the hotel, and you will see it leisurely walking by you. I highly recommend this hotel.

The placement was amazing, truly in the middle of the jungle with wildlife around. The tent was great and the shower/bathroom were really clean and comfortable. There was no insects in the tent although we’re surrounded by nature. The downside was the food as there was no menu, it was truly not organized and a hassle everytime we wanted to eat. The staff although extremely nice, a bit suffocating with the way they handle things. Special thanks to everyone there!

Beautiful African style luxury safari camp. Comfortable modern accommodations with thoughtful decor.

Very beautifull place!!! Highly recommend to everyone. Almost from the reception you can see animals already. Stuff in the hotel are all super nice and kind, help with everything you need. Good and nice security.. his job is fighting with baboons mostly. What is also important hotel is always replying emai and contacted me on whats appl, if you have any qiestions before booking and need transfer, game rides, anything, they will contact you explain you everything, offer options and give whatever you need service for reasonable prices. Thank you very much guys hope to come again!

Love this camp. Right in the heart of Mara reserve. View of river is lovely. Not all rooms have view but lodge view is top. Hippos and crocodiles in river. Great sounds at night. Lovely location for exploring Mara. Staff was amazing. Great food and so nice. Hope I return one day

Im so glad that I found Olaloi, it was easily the best option for exploring Maasai Mara! The communication at the start of the trip was seamless with Jemimah. We were picked up by the nicest driver, Mwangi who shared with us a lot about Kenyan cultures. We then went out for game drive with Jonathan and saw so many amazing animals, he had amazing eyesight and could spot the animals in the instance. We loved the open vehicle that they had - it allows us to truly immerse in the experience with the surrounding nature and it looks very different from the other vehicles we saw in the park. Jonathan also took amazing photo for us too, thank you Jonathan! We were even having breakfast and lunch in beautiful locations in the savannah and by Mara river. We were the only guests at the place and they treated us so well. The food was amazing, we were so full at the end of the day. And somehow we all really love the milk, it tastes so different, cant tell why. Thank you to everyone that took great care of us, Githong - the manager, John - the cook, and other people that we are so sorry we didnt catch their names. We truly hope the business will grow better and they will welcome more guests to their place! Please support local business. We hope to be back again, thank you for the magical trip!

Everything was good! The tent, the service, the food was amazing!

The only word for this property is EXCEPTIONAL. We had a wonderful stay here. Staff was super courteous and very nice. Afric the chef is the sweetest and most humble guy who makes big portions of wonderful meals which you can never finish. He makes sure that everyone is well fed. Out game driver Rolex is the sweetest, kind, intelligence, humorous and very sharp guy. He had immense knowledge about safari and animals and he made sure that we don’t miss leopard, lion and cheetah. Host Jazeera is very kind and always available
