3 min read
Mara Chui Resort (often referred to as Mara Chui Camp) is an eco-friendly lodge located just outside the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, near the Oloolaimutia Gate. Ideal for solo travellers, couples, and small groups looking for a peaceful safari escape.
Nestled along the Oloolaimutia stream, this charming property offers guests an immersive safari experience with the sounds and sights of the wild right at their doorstep.
It’s an excellent choice for travellers who want to stay close to the action while enjoying comfort, serenity, and sustainable hospitality.
Eco‑Friendly Comfort
Mara Chui Resort is designed with the environment in mind. The lodge uses a 24‑hour solar power system for lighting and provides 24‑hour hot water showers, so you can enjoy modern comforts with a lighter footprint. The cottages are built in natural tones that blend into the surroundings, helping the resort maintain a close connection with nature rather than overpowering it.
Accommodation
The resort features 41 units, a mix of standard and deluxe cottages that can be set up for single, double, or triple occupancy. This makes Mara Chui a flexible option for:
- Solo travellers
- Couples
- Families and small group

Standard cottages are ideal for budget‑conscious guests, while deluxe cottages offer extra space and a touch of luxury for those wanting a more premium bush experience.
Dining: From Nyama Choma to Asian Flavours
Mara Chui Resort has two restaurants serving a variety of cuisines, including:
- Continental dishes
- Asian favourites
- Authentic Kenyan meals, with a highlight on nyama choma (grilled meat)
You can start your day with a hearty breakfast before your game drive, refuel with a relaxed lunch, and end with a cozy dinner listening to the sounds of the bush.
Location Along Oloolaimutia Stream
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Mara Chui is its location along the Oloolaimutia stream. This peaceful setting often attracts wildlife close to the lodge, meaning you can sometimes enjoy animal sightings right from the property.
You get the feeling of being immersed in the Mara while still staying just outside the main reserve, which can offer good value and a quieter atmosphere.

From Mara Chui Resort, guests can easily access a wide range of safari activities, including:
- Bush breakfasts and dinners set up in scenic spots out in the wild
- Nature walks to learn about tracks, plants, birds, and local Maasai culture
- Hot air balloon safaris, offering incredible sunrise views over the Mara plains, followed by a bush breakfast
Whether you’re a first‑time safari guest or a returning visitor, the resort’s location makes it simple to explore the reserve.
