Staying at Oltepesi Tented Safari Camp

Oltepesi is designed around wildlife photography, with an image-editing lounge, camera charging and specially modified Land Cruisers for low-angle images. Its village setting offers a different atmosphere from a large tourist lodge. Ensuite tents provide the accommodation base; dedicated photographic guiding, vehicle use and wildlife admission form a separate safari arrangement. Compare Mara accommodation options, read the game-drive guide and use the safari cost guide when planning time with cameras in the bush.

Location & arrival

The setting

In Oltepesi village outside the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The photographic camp has a direct booking identity through Arnfinn Johansen Wildlife Photography AS and local Maasai guiding. It is distinct from Entepesi Tented Camp at Mararianta on the edge of Mara North.

Gate & airstrip access

The camp’s photographic safaris use dedicated vehicles for the travelling party. Road and fly-in transfers are additional to the modeled room-and-meal base. Reserve admission is required for drives inside the National Reserve; no fixed gate or airstrip distance is claimed.
