Olonana Tented Camp, Masai Mara

Olonana Tented Camp is an award-winning tented camp on a private stretch of the Mara River at the foot of the Siria Escarpment. This boutique luxury camp is nestled in the heart of Kenya’s most famous game reserve and commands a dramatic view over the Mara River. Located close to the border with Tanzania, the game concentration is high – and during the annual wildebeest migration, the action happens right on the camp’s doorstep. The eco-friendly camp is one of the first to incorporate a natural water treatment system. The camp features fourteen spacious and tastefully appointed tents with en-suite bathrooms and river view verandas where guests can relax and watch the resident hippos wallowing. The main dining room and deck command stunning views over the river. There is also a library, pool and mini-spa. The fourteen canvas tents are spacious, have en suite facilities, four-poster beds and private verandas overlooking the river.
