Ol Lentille, named after Laikipia's highest peak, is a lodge that is proud to be different. Located in a remote and beautiful part of northern Kenya, guests enjoy the dramatic landscape and pristine wilderness of a 40,000-acre private conservancy which is home to many wildlife species. Game drives, walks (gentle, long or short), camel safaris, and even quad biking are some of the many activities at Ol Lentille. Or you may prefer to lounge around our sepctacular infinity pool, go for a relaxing massage at our spa or settle in a cozy corner by the fireplace in the Gallery.

But it is the people who make this a truly unique place. Ol Lentille is professionally managed but owned by the local Maasai community. That community, in additon to three other neighbouring communities (Maasai and Samburu)  that co-own the conservancy benefit directly (financially), and indirectly )through employment and development projects) from the tourism activity. This creates a tight bond between tourism, conservation and the community. Here you stop being a tourist and become a guest of the community, with deep and authentic access to Maasai and Samburu culture, and to the key events in their life: a chat with elders in a village, a chance encounter on market day, a wedding, a warrior initiation ceremony, a women's blessing, or perhaps a visit to the "singing wells'.  

At the lodge, we have four luxurious villas, recently renovated with fresh and contemporary interiors, each coming with its own house staff, guide and safari vehicle: Carissa (1 room), Aloe (2 rooms), Acacia (2 rooms - can be booked separately), and Boscia (3 rooms). With only 8 rooms in total, we can accommodate a total of 16 guests (a few more with extra beds). All activities and meals are private. This is Africa, as real and as exclusive as it gets.
