Maasai Mara · Kenya
Your Private Escape Into the Maasai Mara
Five private cottages set in open wilderness. Quiet luxury, unhurried comfort and safari experiences curated entirely around you.
The Olakira Experience
A private home in the heart of the wilderness
Olakira Mara Homes was made for guests who want the Mara to themselves. Not a hotel — a small collection of private cottages where the day begins with the sound of the plains and ends around a fire.
Everything here is built around privacy and comfort: generous verandas, shaded gazebos, warm interiors and staff who know when to appear and when to leave you be.
Beyond the cottages, our team curates the experiences that make a stay in the Mara memorable — game drives, bush dining, photography in the field and quiet evenings under an enormous sky.
Accommodation
Five private cottages
Fully furnished homes in the bush, each with two en-suite bedrooms and space for up to six guests.
Five private cottages
The entire property holds just five homes — space, silence and privacy are the default.

Up to six guests
Suited to families, groups of friends, couples and private safari travellers.
