Olonana Camp

This contemporary safari camp lies in a private concession on the edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve. Looking out over the famous Mara River, it sits at the base of the magnificent Siria Escarpment, which rises above the plains of the Mara.

14 elegant glass-sided suites are strung along the riverbank, positioned slightly above this watery landscape, which is home to a permanent pod of hippos. Inside these spacious rooms, pale woods and white-washed walls complement understated African designs, with the bed positioned below mosquito-proof shrouds. In front, beautiful verandas feature comfortable sofas, affording views of the river.

Wildlife is frequently seen from the camp itself, but game drives are the best way to get out and explore the heart of the Masai Mara. Other available activities include trips to local schools, guided nature walks and visits to nearby Maasai communities.
