Location

The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille is a ground-breaking partnership between private investors, conservation organisations and the neighbouring Maasai and Samburu communities. They balance luxury travel and economic development with ambitious conservation and community development programs.

Ol Lentille is perched on the flanks of a wooded rock kopje, in the heart of a private conservation area comprised of 20,000 acres of grassy hills and deep valleys, heavily wooded with many acacia species and African olives. It is named after Ol Lentille, a huge hill from the top of which an astonishing panorama of Northern Kenya unfolds. The Ol Lentille Conservancy is home to the endangered African wild dog, greater kudu, leopard, striped and spotted hyena and klipspringer, as well as many elephant.
