Why We Love A&K Sanctuary Olonana Lodge
The location is exceptional. Olonana sits directly on a private bend of the Mara River, placing guests in a prime position for wildlife viewing throughout the year. During the migration season, this stretch of river becomes a dramatic stage for wildebeest crossings, often visible from the lodge itself. Combined with its eco-leadership, refined design and generous suites, Olonana offers one of the most balanced luxury safari experiences in the Masai Mara.
