Olonana

Olonana combines local Maasai designs with elegant craftsmanship to create one of Kenya’s finest permanent tented camps. It extends a service and style reminiscent of the romantic safari era at the turn of the 19th century, and a peaceful haven from which to explore the Maasai Mara, one of nature’s most thrilling eco-systems. The camp comprises just 12 spacious and airy en suite accommodation tents located on the banks of the Mara River, where the resident hippo pods spend their days wallowing.

Each tent has floor to ceiling mosquito netting ‘windows’ and 2 queen size beds with bedside tables and reading lamps. There are also desks with their own separate lamp and in each tent are unique hand crafted furniture and fittings. All have en suite bathrooms with shower, double basin and w.c and all have a spacious wooden veranda overlooking the river. Individual Room Stewards are allocated to each tent to bring sundowners/meals (if desired), turn down beds, bring early morning tea/coffee/hot chocolate & ensure that each guests’ stay is as relaxing & rewarding as possible. 240v electricity is supplied by solar power.

The main cottage’s lounge and dining area offers a ‘home from home’ feel enhanced by the hosts and resident safari guides, whilst its spacious veranda provides the perfect setting for after dinner star gazing. Guests at Olonana enjoy an intimate and relaxed atmosphere where the pace of your safari can be as active or as leisurely as you wish. A wide range of ‘a la carte’ activities are offered including bush/tracking walks, Maasai walks, visits to the nearby Maasai cultural village, picnic lunches, sundowners and game viewing drives. The flexibility of Olonana allows guests to take both activities and meals as and when they wish. Swimming pool.
