Camp Details
Embrace the serenity and magic of Sanctuary Olonana, where luxury and nature unite for an unforgettable African safari experience. Nestled on a private stretch of river within the Masai Mara, this exquisite lodge is a visual masterpiece that showcases ingenious architecture, artistic interiors and traditional Maasai design elements.
The lodge’s riverside location ensures both intimacy and privacy, with the soothing sounds of the Mara River drowning out any neighbouring noise. Best of all is the thrill of spotting hippos from your private deck, their boisterous wake-up calls an exciting sign of adventures to come. Harmonious interiors, meanwhile, pay homage to the splendour of the region – think sun-bleached floorboards and vibrant hues reminiscent of African wildflowers – while antique, hand-crafted Maasai spears dot the walls, infusing an authentic spirit throughout the space.
Guests can retreat to one of 14 glass-sided suites, which frame captivating views of the extraordinary landscape, to the two-bedroom ultra-luxury Geoffrey Kent Suite, or to one of several glorious communal areas, the walls of which are mudded each year by Maasai women using local, grey clay soil. Step through the dramatic glass doors of the main lounge and arrive at a terrace adorned with faded indigo rugs and elegant pendant lamps, then wander to the cosy boma fire pit beyond. Encircled by deckchairs for intimate gatherings, this spot offers prime river views, perfect for observing the resident hippos.
