What They Say About Us

This camp is run by the Masai tribe and profits benefit the community directly.
Everything was customizable and flexible, from transport to activities to payment.
I was pleased that every day was organized (even scheduled downtime which I used to take a nap in the hammock!) and the timings were very prompt. The food was very good – locally sourced and excellent veggies. I have a very sensitive stomach and did not get sick at all!
We chose Oseki for the value (best I could find after hours of researching lodging in the area!), but we got so much more than a good deal. Besides the safari animals and beautiful sunsets, the best part of the visit was bonding with the Masai staff – a group of educated men and women in their 20s and 30s who are passionate about sharing their precious traditions and lifestyle with anyone who will listen, and have dedicated their talents to helping the Masai community flourish.
My husband and I were both tearful when we left.
There’s no substitute for this humbling and rich experience.

Home Away From Home
I am very very thankful for all the arrangements Dennis did for me. From pick up to game drives till drop to airport, everything was just perfect.
It was way beyond my imagination and expectations. Peter Sankai was a brilliant guide/driver/spotter. Thanks to Dennis & him I spotted all the big fives including a Rhino.
The Cheetah chase and kill and then hyenas stealing it was once in a lifetime opportunity. Multiple Leopard sightings with kills up in a tree and a cub was breath-taking. Lions and their cubs playing in the open were just the perfect things. And finally, a Rhino in the serene hills of Mara with no other car present was just the perfect ending.
I am more than satisfied and I enjoyed it very much. Planning to visit again. The hospitality and the help got was unrivalled by any.
Also thanks to Mary for the excellent food everyday.
Thanks to Paul for pick up and drops.
Everything was excellent from food, stay, cleanliness, game drives, to pick up and drop to airport. All done with utmost hospitality.
It was really a home away from home.
Kudos to your entire team Dennis & Asante Sana

Most Authentic Maasai Mara Experience!
Even though it’s located just outside the national game preserve, the Oseki Maasai Mara Camp provides one of the most authentic culture experiences I have known.
The staff of Maasai from the area will do anything to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. You will leave with a new respect for these incredible people and their culture.
The camp is located on a hillside overlooking the savannah toward the Mara preserve with amazing views of the entire area.
We booked the camp’s safari vehicle and guide for a day trip to the preserve. The experience was memorable, including a picnic lunch outside the vehicle under a tree (carefully selected for its sight lines in case any animals came by) with recent elephant footprints and sweeping views of the Mara preserve.
The Oseki camp facilities are spotless, the food is healthy and locally-sourced. The warm friendship of the staff will put you at ease, knowing that fully trained Maasai warriors are guarding the camp at night when you can hear the hyenas and other animals hunting nearby. The camp is on the annual migration route. We’re told the best viewing time at that location is August.

The Oseki Maasai Mara Camp is owned by a collaboration of ten Maasai villages in the area. Profits from the camp go back to the collaborative to fund things like the primary school which is just down the hill from the camp
