Exclusive safari lodge in the Masai Mara
Olonana Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary is a small-scale and luxurious safari lodge. Idyllically situated on the Mara River, in the heart of Kenya's most famous game reserve, the Masai Mara. Here you will experience the most ultimate African safari. With game drives, bush dinners, sundowners, sightseeing flights and for those who have always dreamed of it: a balloon ride above the savannah. But also cultural excursions to various Masai villages. The private property is surrounded by wetlands and trees, as part of a sustainable and innovative project. The Masai from the surrounding villages are very hospitable. The Masai youth quickly make 'friends' with any children traveling with them.
Tastefully decorated suites
The lodge has fourteen spacious and very tastefully decorated suites with parquet floors and four-poster beds with mosquito nets and views of the Mara River. From your private veranda, enjoy the daily spectacle of bathing hippos. You also have a view of the Mara River from the restaurant, with veranda. Your dinner is regularly graced by somewhat noisy hippos taking possession of the river banks. The afternoon game drives are usually concluded at a special vantage point where you overlook the Mara plains. Here you will witness the impressive sunset, a matter of a few minutes. When you then return after the lodge, you can enjoy the beauty, breathtaking silence and tranquility of the falling night after an exquisite dinner by the campfire.
