About Ol Lentille
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 Laikipia, 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 or vigorous), camel safaris and even quad biking are some of the many activities at Ol Lentille.
Ol Lentille is professionally managed but community owned. Here you stop being a tourist and become a guest of the community. Guests are offered deep and authentic access to Maasai and Samburu culture, and to the key events of their life: a chat with elders in a village, a wedding, a warrior initiation, "singing wells'.
We have four very special villas, recently renovated with luxurious and contemporary interiors, each coming with its own house staff, guide and safari vehicle. With only 8 rooms in total, we can accommodate 16 guests (a few more with extra beds). All activities and meals are private.
