My husband and I spent a week at the Olanana, and we definitely plan to go back. It was absolutely amazing. The staff is wonderful, the food is gourmet, our guide - Boni -- was a genius. We couldn't have had a better time. more

Olonana Camp is located on a lovely spot beside the Mara River in the Kichwa Tembo area of the park. The tented accommodation is of a very good standard with all the “mod cons” including lighting provided 24 hours by solar means. However, charging of camera batteries etc., and hot water provided only between the hours of 6 o’clock and... more

My husband and I stayed at Olonana in beginning of September. What a wonderful place!!! The atmosphere was incredible and the staff were amazing! I can't give this place enough praise! My husband and I are already talking about returning in the next few years! The game drives were the highlight of the trip for us!!! Our guide Lucas amazed... more

My fiance and I stayed at Olonana for a 4 days in mid-August. We stayed here and at Bateleur. Since I was keen to compare the two, and few persons have stayed at both, I'll do that here. (Both got good reviews on Conde Nast Traveler’s Gold List). The biggest thing Olonana has over Bateleur is location - Olonana is... more

Everything is a dream, elegant, detailed, definitely perfect, from the luxory tends, the service, the stunning view, the cousine, the Spa. This is what I've really dreamed of Africa. Under each tent and the restaurant terrace there are two permanent hippos family. The tent number 1 is the best. Our private safari guide, Lucas is highly recommended, in 3 days... more

This camp is fantastic. The staff is very accomodating and Big John the Chef is great. Several menu choices. One day we wanted to stay in the park all day so he packed a great lunch for us. Boniface, our guide was excellent. Can't say enough good things. The Camp is just outside of the Oloololo gate. Between the camp... more

We just returned from a 4 nights stay at the Olonana, Masai Mara. As we have 4 children from 5 yrs to 16 yrs with various interests and needs, we did an extensive research before selecting the Olonana hoping to find a place that would combine outstanding location, comfort and excellent services, top guides with being attentive to and safe... more

We arrived at the Olonana lodge having fled from Tipilikwani 2 hour and 60 km earlier. Olonana is everything it claims to be and more. It is a beautiful lodge situated just outside the Masai Mara game reserve on the banks of the Mara River. The 14 fixed tents which are laid out along the river are huge and luxurious.... more

We had the pleasure of spending 5 nights/6 days recently at Olonana. I can't say enough great things about this wonderful, luxurious camp. First the staff, Maurice, Duncan, David, Chef Big John, Shadrick and of course Abdul - (and all of the behind the scenes people) - this staff is first class all the way. There is not a need... more

Even though I had done extensive research on this hotel, it still didn't prepare me for how wonderful it actually was. We only stayed two nights - I will definitely plan for longer next time. Our "tent" on the banks of the Mara River was a great set up. Luxurious, but still an authentic safari-feel. I could have sat out... more
