The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille takes the meaning of a luxury safari holiday with a conscience to new levels. This boutique Kenya lodge is set in a 40,000 acre private wildlife conservancy. As well as your own private house, you have your own butler, valet, and Maasai guide with exclusive use of a safari car, to cater to your every need. Ol Lentille is so much more than just a stunning holiday destination – it is one of the foremost community-based conservation tourism properties on the continent, so “having fun, doing good” takes on new meaning too.
