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 a maximum of 16 guests. 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.

Dear friends,

 

Laura and I have just returned to Singapore after an extended stay at Ol Lentille, and as we reach the end of 2023, we wanted to take a moment to share a few recent developments.

 

First and foremost, thanks to your support, we are delighted to share that 2023 has been our best year ever. Guest reviews have been consistently great (you can read some of them on our revamped website), with consistent feedback that Ol Lentille’s cultural experiences move people on a very deep level.

 

With the rains finally arriving in late October, the Ol Lentille conservancy is now like a Garden of Eden. Our rolling hills are emerald green, rivers which we had forgotten existed are back - and the wildlife is loving it. 

 

And with the grass back, our partner communities are thriving too, and have been packing in a lot of traditional ceremonies. We (and guests) recently attended many Maasai and Samburu weddings, circumcision ceremonies and various other big life events. As you know, access to real, unfiltered Maasai and Samburu culture is what we’re all about (the opposite of the “disneyfication” of local culture found in many other places). Here is a PDF about it.

Secondly, we have just completed a 2-week service delivery and guest experience training for our staff with Linda Coltart, the legendary ex-GM of the Quartier Francais hotel in Franschhoek, and in that way continue to focus on elevating service delivery and refining the guest experience. 

 

Lastly, we have just revamped our website, to highlight our points of differentiation, what we like to call the “3 Ps”: 

Place (40,000 acres of dramatic and unspoilt private conservancy)


People (we are community owned - here you stop being a tourist and become a guest of the Maasai and Samburu owners of the lodge and the land)



Privacy (or “Personalised” = private villa concept. Guests have their own dedicated staff and “own” their program and activities).

Ol Lentille is a different kind of safari lodge. Its magic is hard to explain, and ideally needs to be experienced to be understood. We offer great fam rates, please let us know when you are in Kenya.

We wish you a fabulous end to the year and a healthy, joyful and adventurous 2024!

 

Happy Christmas and Seasonal best wishes to you all, 

 

Andre and Laura
