Monthly Rentals in Mara Simba

If I tell the truth, this place will get discovered and everyone will come here! That is my fear and the camp's dream :) This place was magical! I stayed for six days and did a safari one day and visited the Maasai village one day, and chilled hard in camp the other days, watching the hippos roll around in the water with the baboon troop playing on the shore. A few Nile crocodiles made an appearance--all so amazing. I believe the host sets the tone, and Mostafa's kind competence attracts people like himself. The other guests in camp were friendly and really made the stay special. Traveling alone, it was nice to have new friends to dine with. The food is excellent, the rooms spotless, and all the staff so helpful. It was a dream come true. The safari was incomparable--we saw everything except a rhino before 9 am!! Truly magical. You won't find anything like this wonderful camp in the Mara. Book it before everyone else does!

This is a very special place and the whole idea and concept of social tourism appealed. My wife was able to volunteer at a local medical clinic and I volunteered at the local college which was absolutely inspiring. All of the staff at Oldarpoi were so friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant was great and we enjoyed cocktails around the fire pit every night. Oldarpoi does have a generator for when the electricity drops but it took a while to kick in at times making it difficult to keep things cool in the fridge (staff did offer to store perishable food in their fridge in the main kitchen if needed.) It would be beneficial to take a torch although paraffin lamps were available. We did a walking safari and game drive with local Maasai guide Moses which was absolutely breathtaking and we learned so much. Pool was huge (much larger than photos on website!) Cannot recommend highly enough! A wonderful experience escaping from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Absolutely worth visiting. The hut is very cosy and peaceful and Jacob is a great local guide, who can organise low budget safaris in the Masai Mara. The highlight was our trip into Masai Mara where we were able to see lots of wildlife - way above our expectations for a very good price! We can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Masai Mara with local experience and reasonable prices.
