Talek Gate Masai Mara, Masai Mara, KE
These are all honest and objective review. I would not recommend this place to my friends.
4.0This is an extremely basic accommodation – please manage your expectations. The reception was very rudimentary. The location had no signage; even our local guide didn't know this place and we had to get out and open the gate ourselves. Upon first arrival, the staffs were quite socially awkward, Compared to other lodges, we did not receive a warm welcome. The food was just okay.The main dishes were mostly chicken, and one day there was no meat at all. It rained during our stay. We only received an umbrella after we specifically went to ask for one. The power went out numerous times – so many times that we couldn't even get our power banks charged. The water pressure in the shower was also terrible.
− We had chosen this place after reading reviews that mentioned Maasai history talks and a bonfire. However, on the first night when it wasn't raining, it wasn't arranged. On the second night when it was raining, it was obviously not happening either. There was basically no WiFi in the rooms, and the connection in the common areas was also very poor.
Charming hotel, great full service experience.
9.0It is an intimate property, with only three lodges on site. As such, the friendly staff are readily available and always willing to accommodate your needs. The food was cooked well, there is nighttime security, and the day rates for a Land Cruiser are quite reasonable. The room itself was very nice, with a rustic-safari feel, and very clean.
− The only challenge I had was finding the hotel, as there is no road signage at the Talek Gate with the other lodges' signs, and there is no sign at the entrance either. You should drive up just past the town center and it's on the left in a nondescript gate tucked in the trees. You should plan to call the manager and meet him on the roadside.

9.0Great team and a wonderful community. We had a wonderful stay experience
Excellent stay
10.0We had a wonderful stay at Olaloi. The food was absolutely delicious, and our safari guide even said the packed lunch was the best he’s ever had. Benjamin (Latata) served us with such kindness and a warm smile, which made every meal even more enjoyable. Wilson took great care of everything and made sure our rooms and stay was perfectly comfortable and bug-free. Chef John prepared outstanding meals that we’ll be thinking about long after our trip. Tanin provided excellent security and made us feel safe throughout our stay. Olaloi truly exceeded our expectations in every way and we highly recommend it.

Guest review
10.0Mwangi, who was our driver to and from Nairobi, was excellent—very friendly and great company throughout our journey. All the staff were impeccable. The chef took great care of us by preparing very delicious meals. Jonathan, our safari guide, was very experienced and thanks to him we saw so many animals—an outstanding experience. The place was very clean and well-kept. Everything was excellent.
