A safari lodge with a difference

SPECTACULAR VIEWS. COMPLETE PRIVACY.

AUTHENTIC CULTURAL CONNECTIONS.

Situated at one of Laikipia’s highest points, Ol Lentille consists of four luxurious villas which can host 16 guests (up to 23 with extra beds). Each villa is complemented by its own private staff, guide and safari vehicle. The lodge overlooks 40,000 exclusive acres of breathtaking African wilderness. With the land (and the lodge) owned by the local Maasai communities, guests enjoy unparalleled access to a deeply immersive cultural experience.

Ol Lentille is a different kind of safari.

Because we are owned by a local Maasai community, your guests are first and foremost guests of the community, giving them authentic and extensive access to Maasai (and Samburu) culture. Recent guests have attended weddings, warrior initiations, passing of age ceremonies, circumcision ceremonies, rain dances. A visit to a Maasai or Samburu manyatta (homestead) is a genuine and rich connection with your hosts - the polar opposite of what visitors often experience on a typical safari.

We are the only safari lodge on 40,000 acres of remote wilderness. The otherworldly beauty of Ol Lentille is hard to explain in words. It has to be experienced. And with only four private villas, our guests have the whole place to themselves. They will never meet other tourists and vehicles while they explore the conservancy. This is Africa as it was before the advent of mass tourism: untouched, remote, full of the unexpected.

Our luxurious and comfortable villas are perfect for couples, groups of friends and families alike. With dedicated staff and safari vehicle for each villa, guests have complete flexibility in terms activities, meals and timing. This is the "anti-safari"! No mandatory early starts, no mandated activities, no fixed meal locations or meal times.

Please reach out to Reservations with any questions or enquiries. As a small, independent lodge, we are by nature flexible and bespoke.
