Lorian calls itself more than just a camp. It sits on the Olare Orok River inside the Masai Mara, a few minutes’ drive from the airstrip.
From your dates to the river.

Check-in, check-out, rooms and guests — and anything you’d like to eat.
Rates, meals and activities
The camp emails your rate for those dates, with meals and the activities you can add.
A scheduled flight from Nairobi
Several airlines fly daily to Olkiombo airstrip, two hundred metres from camp.
Five to ten minutes later
A short transfer brings you to your tent on the Olare Orok — often past your first animals.
Two kinds of tent.
Executive safari tents on the banks of the Olare Orok, with the hippo pod from the patio — and three Bush Experience tents with big decks and fewer walls. All en-suite, with hot water around the clock.

The Executive Safari Tent
On the banks of the Olare Orok, with the hippo pod from your patio. En-suite, hot water around the clock. Sleeps 2.
The Bush Experience Tent
One of three en-suite tents with all the comforts but not many walls, and a spacious deck. Sleeps 2.
Inside the reserve
About 200 metres from Olkiombo airstrip, on the Olare Orok River inside the Masai Mara National Reserve — your first game drive is the drive to camp.
A hippo pod at the door
Hippos in the river behind the tents, big crocodiles in the pool, and a view of both from the restaurant deck.
Any cuisine, on request
Indian, continental, Mediterranean, Oriental or American — vegetarian and South Indian included, if you ask before you arrive.
Staff who speak your language
The team speaks English, French, Tamil and Swahili, and Maasai guards look after the camp day and night.
How the days go.
Game drives straight from the airstrip, a balloon at dawn, stargazing, Maasai cultural tours — and walking safaris and night drives in a nearby conservancy, where they are allowed.
A small camp, and a team guests remember by name.
“They went out of their way by making on demand food for us.”
Lorian is owned by its four proprietors — Jeyakumar, Muneeswaran, Deleepkumar and Aathiya. Guests write most about the manager, Arun, the chefs, and the guides who drive them out from the airstrip.
