Olonana

For a classic bush experience in the heart of deepest Africa in Kenya's big game country, experience Olonana. Situated on the very borders of the Masai Mara Game Reserve, this holiday will prove to be the best by far!

Olonana boasts 12 exquisite tented pavilions, offering guests the utmost privacy and unmatched service excellence. There are two large queen size beds in each, with beautiful ensuite bathrooms and stunning furniture pieces.

Each tent has an unforgettable view of the sparkling Mara River, which can be experienced from your private veranda. After dinner, you can enjoy a quiet nightcap, watching the hippos play in the water, and listening to the music of Africa's nights.

Meals are often served outside, under the African sky and served on the edge of the Siria escarpment, but also within the large communal dining room. The private chef prepares the most delectable of dishes and will even make you a packed lunch to enjoy on a picnic.

Lunches can also be enjoyed alongside the pool, so you can have a dip in between courses. Sundowners are also a popular favorite amongst Olonana guests. You can enjoy these in the comfort of the Lounge perhaps with a book chosen from the large library.

Activities recommended while staying at Olonana include bird watching, from the comfort of your room, or outdoors, along magnificent footpaths. Game drives are a firm favorite, where you can enjoy getting right up close to Africa's magnificent beasts. Or for a more cultural experience, you can visit a Masai Village and learn a little more about these truly remarkable people.
