Rarely do we ever go somewhere twice and three times is almost unheard of but be assured we will be going back for our fourth.That is testament to the quality of service and experience provided by the team at Ol Lentille who are inspired by the vision of John and Gill Elias. We have a passion for wildlife, walking, and... More

Our 3 teenagers particularly loved the quad bikes, running at altitude with the brilliant guide and the pool (what a... More

We enjoyed total luxury while being able to experience 'real Africa' . Ol lentille is a fantastic place to escape from everything. It has a special atmosphere...spiritual almost. The opportunity to become involved in the local community was a big part of its charm. The facilities are first class right down to the taps and wash basins !!. The food... More

We spent few days in Ol-lentille and the experience has being wonderful. The food, the people, the house, the spa was simply perfect. But what really makes the difference is the place where this lodge is placed. In the middle of the African wildness, and from the top of the mountain you see nothing but Wild Africa itself. My kids... More

We were greeted at the airport by our Masai Warrior Guide, Solomon who couldn't have been more congenial and made us feel immediately at ease. When we got to the lodge, we were greeted... More

We recently completed a three week visit to Kenya and Northern Tanzania and stayed at some of the finest camps and lodgings along the way. My husband and I agree, without question, that Ol Lentille was the highlight of our adventure. We took a charter with Tropic Air to Nanyuki (rather than to the Ol Lentille air strip which we... More

In 2011 I was again privileged to be able to return to The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille for my third visit and again the lodge surpassed all expectations. Chef Augustine's culinary delights were even better than we remembered, nothing was too much trouble for him, wether it was a smart dinner in the library, a picnic when we were visiting... More

We started with a one night stay in the wonderful Fairview hotel in Nairobi. The next morning we took a small plane to Nanyuki airport - All organised by our host, John Elias at Ol-Lentille. We were met by Timothy Ole Mosiany, a beautiful, traditionally dressed, Maasai guide. The three hour journey to Ol-Lentille was not to be missed. It... More
