Sanctuary Olonana is an elegant tented camp in the heart of Kenya’s finest safari region. It's situated within a private concession alongside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, overlooking a stretch of the Mara River with a resident pod of hippos. A mix of classic safari elements – canvas tents, timber and thatch – together with a strong Maasai influence gives this camp an authentic African feel, with luxury all round. Game viewing is excellent, and one of the highlights is the chance to spend a day at a Maasai village, and participate in some of the daily rituals and routines.




14 spacious canvas tents are set a good distance apart, with wraparound timber walkways and viewing deck that look across the Mara River. Each tent has two double beds under full-length mosquito nets –perfect if you’re travelling with children. The beautiful interiors have earthy colours, soft lighting, roll-up window panels, and deep, comfortable armchairs. A canvas screen separates the en-suite bathroom from the living area, and the two larger honeymoon tents have outdoor showers as well.
