Last month we spent a week at Olonana on the Masa Mara in Kenya. The lodge was outstanding, the food excellent, and the equipment in good condition. The most impressive part of the trip, other then the wildlife drives, was the operation led by Mr. King. He and his staff (Mr. Nixon, Phillip, Ambrose, and Kristine) made us feel at... More

I pretty much agree with the reviews already written on here, we had a fabulous couple of days, very attentive staff, food standard and quality was of a very high standard, the tents were well equipped and it was a bit cool in the evening and the hot water bottle in the bed was a lovely touch. We wanted for... More

A friend recommended Sanctuary Olonana to us, and we learned firsthand that Maurice and the friendly team at Sanctuary Olonana run a first-class establishment with excellent service. We stayed in two tents during our stay: one night in the standard tent, which was quite nice; and two nights in a honeymoon tent which can only be described as exceptional. Very... More

All of the previous reviews are pretty much spot on as far as the hotel being beautiful, the staff gracious, the roaring rapids and the rejuvenating spa by the river. We had a wonderful time during our short visit, but I would have given it an excellent rating had our particular room been cleaned more thoroughly. We were really the... More

Words seem insufficient for my experience at the Sanctuary Retreats !! This was my first experience in the wild and was completely worth it ! We spent 4 nights here, with the best intuitive service and excellent Gourmet food! Rosemary (based in Nairobi) assisted us with all the booking, picked us up at the Nairobi airport and drove us to... More

I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I arrived at Olonana. Greeted with a pan-flute-playing Maasai, a tropical drink, several staff and a chorus of noisy hippos playing in the river below, it was a magical arrival and the entire experience for the next three days continued in the same way. Exquisite food, exceptional service, awesome setting,... More

This was our first Safari in Kenya although we lived in Mombasa for a long period of time, it never crossed my mind Masai Mara will be such magnificent and wonderful place for a family specially teenagers to enjoy to such extent. Our stay at Olonana was a magical and sweet memory to cherish for a long period of time.... More

We spent four wonderful nights in Ololanda lodge, and had the opportunity to compare it with two other lodges, one just outside the conservancy, like Ololanda, and one in the heart of it. Ololanda was in another class: with only twelve “tents”, the lodge’s guest lounge and terrace felt expansive and luxurious. To be truly top notch, the public and... More
