Sanctuary Olonana

Sanctuary Retreats (Abercrombie & Kent) · Riverfront suite camp · Private stretch of the Mara River below the Siria Escarpment, Mara Triangle side

Olonana occupies a coveted private bend of the Mara River, the very water the migration must cross. A comprehensive rebuild replaced its original canvas tents with fourteen glass-sided, air-conditioned suites, each with a plunge pool and a deck over the river where hippo and elephant pass within earshot. Part of the Abercrombie & Kent-owned Sanctuary Retreats collection, it balances contemporary polish with front-row access to river-crossing drama and an easy walk to a Maasai community it has long partnered with.

Why we recommend it

River-frontage suites put you within sight and sound of crossing points, with the space, air-conditioning and plunge pools that suit travelers wanting lodge comfort in a tented setting.
