The Sultan's House - The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille Kenya

Kenya, Laikipia County

2
1
1

The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille is located in a private conservation area of over 40,000 acres of stunning hills and valleys – this is three times the size of Manhattan all to yourself! In the area, you will see elephants, leopards, wild dogs, cheetah, hyenas, zebra, and greater kudu to name a few. Elephant numbers have really grown in recent years and some months several thousand sightings are recorded. There are six packs of wild dogs (averaging twenty) that traverse the area around the lodge and some months there are between 10 - 20 wild dog sightings in this area. Located in northern Kenya’s spectacular Laikipia region, The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille is regarded as one of Kenya’s most exclusive safari lodges in the most spectacular and breathtaking location.

This is a lodge that is proud to be different. The team, with the local communities, have proudly created, conserved, and protected over 40,000 acres of pristine wilderness which means guests enjoy an area three times the size of Manhattan to explore privately at their leisure. Ol Lentile can only accommodate up to 14 adults across the stunning four villas (plus six children) so exclusivity doesn’t get any better than this.

Staying here is, notably, a “holiday” and there is downtime to enjoy the numerous unique and special activities that the lodge and Laikipia offer. Your stay is not the safari format of game drives every morning and evening (yes you can do this if you want) but as most guests combine us with the Masai Mara where they will be in cars for the duration of their stay we want to show the guests the space and isolation of the stunning location. Ol Lentile often doesn’t even put guests in a car and prefers to do walking safaris and other activities that Laikipia is renowned for. Guided by Samburu and Maasai warriors this is a very special journey into their ancient lands.

Importantly your stay is designed to be restful, guests aren’t woken up at 5.30 /6 am for the first activity (unless they want to be) – instead, you have a full nights sleep and have a private breakfast in your villa at the time of your choice and then do the morning private activity of your choice. This flexibility combined with unlimited spa treatments ensures guests relax in this stunning environment and leave revitalized!

The Sultan’s House brings the essence of Lamu, Zanzibar, and the rest of the Swahili Coast to the wilderness of the Ol Lentille Conservancy in Laikipia. This villa overlooks a watering hole favored by the elephants of Ol Lentille and is designed and furnished with very unique artifacts and furniture. This is a vast one-bedroom thatched villa with an enormous bedroom, dressing area, and bathroom. Across a courtyard, there is a huge lounge and dining area with a beautiful terrace.

The villa is built between large rocks and has a soaring tightly-plaited papyrus roof which is a wonder of intricate craftsmanship. The exterior of the roof blends perfectly into the house’s rocky outer walls. Limed boughs of African olive tree and delicate Swahili plaster carvings give this villa a really unique and special feel. Warm, welcoming, and inviting this villa offers endless views and endless space!

The Sultan’s House has a 40 foot long living room. This is the perfect place for dining and relaxing. The spacious entryway to the living room is a great place to eat breakfast. At night the room has a very special atmosphere, with subtle lighting providing the perfect ambiance for romantic or family dinners. Sitting on the terrace and embracing the views over the rolling hills towards Mount Kenya is incredibly special and removes you from the stresses of daily life at home.

The kitchen just outside the living room is where your butler serves stunning meals, prepared by our top chef. Don’t feel like eating at home? We’re happy to bring your food to the library, the pool or even the bush. The choice is yours.
