Sanctuary Olanana

Style

Adventure, enchantment and ‘Luxury, naturally’ -  the guiding philosophies of Sanctuary Olanana, an award-winning safari lodge.

‍

Sanctuary Olonana is not just a luxury retreat; it’s a haven where nature meets elegance in perfect harmony. Nestled in the heart of the Maasai Mara, this exclusive safari lodge offers a unique blend of contemporary design and traditional African influences. The lodge's riverside location ensures both intimacy and privacy, with the soothing sounds of the Mara River drowning out any neighbouring noise. Best of all is the thrill of spotting hippos from your private deck, their boisterous wake-up calls an exciting sign of adventures to come. Harmonious interiors, meanwhile, pay homage to the splendour of the region – think sun-bleached floorboards and vibrant hues reminiscent of African wildflowers – while antique, hand-crafted Maasai spears dot the walls, infusing an authentic spirit throughout the space.
