Sanctuary Olonana

On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport a Sanctuary representative will greet you and you will be transferred to the domestic Wilson Airport, about 15km southwest of the city. Your scenic flight to the beautiful Masai Mara takes only 45 minutes. On arrival at Sanctuary Olonana there is time to relax and freshen up in your tent before lunch is served. The tents are very spacious and have floor to ceiling mosquito netting, en suite bathrooms with hot showers, flushing lavatories, solar lighting and large verandas with great river views. The main dining room and veranda commands a dramatic stretch of the Mara River providing the perfect setting for breakfast, afternoon tea and after dinner star gazing. After lunch there is time to relax in your luxury home for the next four days, and guests will then proceed for the first game viewing drive of the day.

After breakfast at the camp, accompanied with your picnic lunch, you will leave with our expert guides to explore the Mara for the better part of the day to understand the reasons why the great migration takes place every year. The Mara is a fabulous place, the plains offers rich food for elephants amongst the thousands of herds of wildebeest and topi, zebra, eland, buffalo as well as Thomson's and Grant's gazelle. Adding drama to the already extraordinary spectacle, the Masai Mara is known for its big cats. Lions, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs and jackals prepare themselves patiently for their share of the banquet. Beware also of crocodiles, they lay waiting for young calves who struggle against the strong tides of the Mara River.
You will then return to camp and spend the late afternoon at leisure. Relax by the pool or revitalise at our mini-spa which offers a range of treatments from facials to body massages

During your stay at Sanctuary Olonana there are a variety of activities that can be booked on request. One possibility is a breathtaking balloon safari. Float gently over the plains with a bird's eye view of the game below as the sun rises slowly over the horizon. After around one hour the balloon lands and a full breakfast is served in the middle of the bush with glasses of bubbly to toast your flight! On your last evening drive out into the bush, a private and secluded clearing is prepared for an elegant dinner in the middle of the wilderness. Candles flicker in the darkness, as your waiter serves a delicious bush dinner. After dinner you can retire to the warmth of the campfire where brandies and liqueurs are served as guests relax and absorb the peace and beauty of the African night.
