Sanctuary Olonana is the height of luxury in the heart of the bush. Fourteen spacious new suites, with deeply comfortable king-sized beds, have been designed to reflect the inspiring natural surroundings. A particular feature is the full-height glass doors, which fold open to reveal magnificent views of the Mara River, which you can enjoy from your daybed on the open deck.

A spectacular array of wildlife lives here, including almost 600 species of bird, so you might encounter leopards, buffalo, elephants, rhinos and lions as well as many other animals. You will return to the lodge to relax and dine.
