Rating Retreat silver Rating Retreat silver

Olonana is an exclusive safari lodge, suspended over a private stretch of the Mara River in the heart of Kenya's legendary Masai Mara reserve. Located at the foot of a escarpment near the Tanzanian border, the lodge occupies a privileged position for observing the Great Migration of wildebeests, one of the world's most extraordinary natural spectacles, which takes place between July and October. Thanks to its proximity to the river, guests can also admire a large population of hippos in their natural habitat.

This lodge offers 14 elegant and spacious suites, designed to blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment. Large panoramic windows offer breathtaking views of unspoilt nature, while the carefully finished interiors reflect the elegance and richness of the local wildlife. For an even more exclusive stay, the Geoffrey Kent Suite is the ultimate in luxury: a private retreat with two elegant bedrooms, a large bathroom, a dining room, an infinity pool and personalised service that includes a private jeep and a dedicated guide.

The Olonana Lodge experience is enriched by an extraordinary range of activities: exciting safaris among the wonders of the savannah, cultural immersions in the life of the Maasai people, scenic flights and spectacular hot air balloon excursions to admire the immensity and beauty of the African landscape from above.

What makes this lodge truly special is its commitment to fostering authentic connections with the local Maasai community. Guests can discover ancient traditions, participate in meaningful encounters and enjoy an engaging cultural experience that further enriches their journey.

The lodge warmly welcomes children of all ages, offering tailor-made activities for the little ones, including dedicated safaris, nature treasure hunts, cultural workshops and visits to Maasai villages. Babysitting services are also available on request, as well as personalised menus for children, ensuring a unique and tailor-made experience for every family.
