About Oltepesi Tented Safari Camp
Oltepesi Tented Safari Camp is located within the Maasai Mara in Kenya and was established in 2017 by nature photographer Arnfinn Johansen and Maasai guide John Siololo, also known as Big John. The camp is aimed at fulfilling the needs of professional nature photographers and photography enthusiasts, and the guides at the camp have many years of experience working with nature photographers with high demands. With the best guides, and Land Cruisers modified specifically for photography – for both bird’s-eye and low perspective – the guests are guaranteed amazing nature experiences and first-class photos. Oltepesi also covers the required off-road license. They will provide full-day safaris with both breakfast and lunch served on the savannah. This enables the guests to photograph in the best light conditions, including sunrise and sunset. Dinner is served back at camp in the evening. The camp also offers safaris on foot.
Oltepesi offers comfortable lodgings in new and spacious safari tents. The tents resemble “hotel rooms on the savannah,” with a private bathroom with a shower, sink, and water-closet. The camp is located at Oltepesi Village, which is a genuine Maasai village. In this way, visitors have the unique opportunity to also get acquainted with the culture of the Maasai people, which is rich in tradition. If desired, it is also possible for guests to stay in a genuine Maasai hut. Photographing and filming is, of course, completely unrestricted – you can feel completely at home here, and there’s no need to ask permission first.
