Your Own Place in the Bush

Perched on the flanks of a wooded rock kopje, in the heart of our private conservation area, is The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille – a collection of four private, full-service, fully staffed Houses for the discerning few.

Location

We are situated on the Maasai community-owned Kijabe Group Ranch, on the far northern escarpment of the Laikipia Plateau with enormous views to the craggy peak of Mt Kenya, the Samburu sacred mountain Ol Olokwe, the Matthews Range and the Karisia Hills.

Conservation

Our private community conservation area, known as The Ol Lentille Conservancy, is 20,000 acres of grassy hills and deep valleys, heavily wooded with many acacia species and African olives. Its sandy laghas (dry river beds) are bordered by great stands of fig and fever trees. It is named for Ol Lentille, a 1977m hill, from the top of which (an easy scramble) an astonishing panorama unfolds.

Endangered African Species

The Conservancy is home to the endangered African wild dog, Grevy’s zebra, greater kudu, leopard, striped and spotted hyena, and klipspringer.
