Sanctuary Olonana Sanctuary Olonana

Luxury and low-impact can indeed go together - Sanctuary Retreats proved this with its first safari camp, Sanctuary Olonana in Kenya, a trailblazer for responsible Eco-tourism.

Sanctuary Retreats takes pride in creating sustainable camps so portable that, if need be, they could be packed up and leave barely a trace behind. But at Sanctuary Olonana, living among the animals doesn't mean you can't indulge in decadence.

Overlooking the Mara River, award-winning Sanctuary Olonana, is the idyllic location to experience a classic and authentic African safari. This luxury safari camp is an exclusive hideaway complete with library, swimming pool, and the freedom to enjoy a three course dinner deep in the bush or on the private river-view terrace of one of the 14 luxurious canvas pavilions.


Built on the banks of the Mara River, the canvas tents are extremely comfortable and spacious and feature private verandas overlooking the river and hippos.

The main dining room and decking command views over a dramatic stretch of the river. There is also a mini-spa offering luxurious treatments. Activities include morning and afternoon game drives, a Maasai Village visit and nature walks.

But if you really want to see everything, jump on board a plane or hot air balloon and visit legendary Lake Victoria or watch the wildebeest migration from the air.
