Tantalizing Culinary Offerings
Meals at Sanctuary Olonana are a culinary exploration of African flavors with a twist of international cuisine. Expert chefs prepare dishes using the freshest local ingredients, and whether served al fresco amidst the wilderness or within the elegant dining area, each meal is an event to be savored
Tailored Activities and Adventures
Never a dull moment, either within or beyond the lodge. The overall opportunities for wildlife viewing are as good as they get anywhere in Africa; the prospect of watching the sun rise over the Mara from a hot-air balloon, followed by a champagne-flavoured breakfast picnic à la Streep and Redford… well, what’s not to love?
- Great Migration:-Between July and October more than a million wildebeest and zebra make their way across the Maasai Mara in search of pastures new. The interest this arouses among the predators through whose territory they pass is intense. The drama that unfolds as a consequence is quite simply one of the greatest shows on earth.
- Maasai Community Visits:-Olonana has a strong, longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship with local Maasai communities. There’s no better way to learn more about Maasai culture, customs and daily life than from the Maasai themselves.
- Bespoke Bush Walks:Nothing quickens the senses quite like a stroll in the African wilderness. And because Olonana is situated within a private conservancy adjacent to the National Reserve, guided walks are not merely possible but strongly recommended.
- Night Drives:-The lion sleeps tonight. Or does he? Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the Oloisukut Conservancy after dark. Our expert guides will reveal an otherwise unseen world of nocturnal animal magic.
- Hot-Air Ballooning:-Some things really are worth getting out of bed for before dawn, even when you’re on vacation. A hot-air balloon flight over the Maasai Mara, watching the landscape take shape in the first rays of new morning sunshine, is surely one of them.
- Scenic Flights:-Fully personalised scenic flights by helicopter or biplane give you a lilac-breasted roller’s eye view of large parts of the Maasai Mara. You’ll swoop and skim above an epic patchwork of acacia-studded savannah. Chocks away!
- In-Room Spa Treatments: Indulge in relaxing massages and body therapies in the privacy of your suite.
- Bush Meals and Sundowners: Dine under the African sky or savor a cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon.
