Oh my gosh what a fantastic place! We absolutely loved staying at OleSamara. We stayed in the large tent and it was absolutely lovely! The food is delicious, the grounds are pristine, the rooms are gorgeous. We had a group of 15 so I was able to see many of the rooms. Stunning! Impeccable service. Highly recommend!!

The front desk customer service personnel (the manager) was not good. He was not welcoming. We requested for a look around of the facility but he refused even though we had already paid a deposit. He seemed more concerned in getting our money than ensuring our stay is enjoyable. One thing we appreciate though is they agreed to give us a one hour late check out. The room steward Anthony was very friendly and made sure we had a comfortable stay. And the young gentleman Trevor made up for the front desk manager's sour attitude. Overall, the facility is well kept and we enjoyed our experience. It comes highly recommended but we can't guarantee a good reception.

The calming environment stole my heart, away from bustling Nairobi life. This well kept and maintained establishment offered a very relaxing time during our Easter break[Already planning our next longer stay soon]. Betty is a very good host, making sure guests are well taken care of. The staff is super, ready to attend with smiles.....

We stayed amongst nature in tent two at the bottom of the hill. Tony, our attendant, made our stay extra special. He was professional, helpful, friendly and kind. He anticipated our needs & was always ready to help with any special requests.

We had a lovely stay at Olesamara. The grounds are really beautiful and the food was delicious. We were very comfortable during our 4 night stay and it was a convenient place to explore the attractions around Nanyuki. I would highly recommend Olesamara to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The place is easily accesible. Feels like you are camping in a forest but luxury camping! I stayed in the 1 bedroom luxury tent it's so tastefully furnished complete with a fire place a bath tub overlooking the forest. The food portions were also so good and well prepared. I would rate it 10/10

Pretty gorgeous, private, will definitely be back soon! Comfortable bed and soft pillows. Cozy birthday with a breathtaking view. More than enough towels and toiletries. The breakfast was good too and the staff we super helpful. It’s cold but they provide enough hot water bottles and the shower gets really hot.

We loved Olé Samara and will definitely return! The staff is lovely, the grounds are well cared for and peaceful, including a refreshing infinity pool with a beautiful view of some walking trails. The food was delicious and the chef very accommodating. The rooms (and kitchens) were very comfortable with attention to detail. I have nothing negative to say about this place and only wish we'd had more time to spend there.
