Alternatively if transferring from elsewhere in the Mara, Olarro is a short 1 ½ hour drive from the Keekorok gate of
the Masai Mara Game reserve.

Activities @Olarro Lodge>Mara Kenya
One advantage of being on a private Conservancy is the wide range of activities offered. These include mountain biking with a private guide, bush walks, daily game drives and specialized bird watching with our licensed guides.
Specially prepared picnics can be provided for breakfast or lunch and drinks and gourmet appetizers for sundowners.
Unique to Olarro are night drives using infra red night vision binoculars to spot nocturnal game in their natural habitat with minimum disturbance to their behaviour.
An optional experience and one of the highlights at Olarro that requires pre bookings is a scenic helicopter flight into
the Masai Mara, taking off from the lodge’s private helicopter pad at dawn. After an exhilarating flight into the
reserve, guests have the rare opportunity to float over the million strong wildebeest and zebra migration in a hot air
balloon, followed by a sumptuous champagne breakfast in a remote part of the Masai Mara.
Olarro offers a Spa with two treatment rooms offering a range of world class Thera Vine beauty and relaxation treatments in a unique African setting.
