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

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 Chief’s House is the largest of the villas and is a huge three-bedroom villa that is beautifully designed, styled, and furnished. There is lots of space, ambiance, and privacy for a family or group of friends to enjoy. Here is an African minimalist design decorated with wonderful art, fabrics, and artifacts from across the continent. The sculpted roof collects rainfall and blends into its rocky surroundings. Inside, the roof provides vaulted ceilings for the sumptuously cool modern interiors. There are breathtaking views of the rolling mountains and rugged hills of northern Kenya and the private 40,000-acre Ol Lentille Conservancy. The private wildlife reserve is home to elephants, greater kudu, African wild dogs, leopards, and the endangered Grevy’s zebra to name but a few.

The Chief’s House has three bedrooms, each with king-size or twin beds and the finest bed linens. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and dressing room. The master bedroom has an outdoor bath set among natural rocks, where you can bathe by candlelight under the stars. The sitting room has a mesmerizing open fireplace and is comfortably furnished with luxurious sofas and you’ll find plenty of board games to keep everyone entertained in the evenings. A spacious dining room adjoins the open plan living room. A deck runs the full length of this area and is perfect for al fresco dining and there is a small plunge-pool to cool off from the midday sunshine.

Your day often starts with a leisurely breakfast unless you want to do an early morning activity. Breakfast is served at the time of your choice followed by your chosen private activity. The idea of staying with us is a relaxing one and Ol Lentile don’t enforce early starts like lots of other lodges in Africa! There is a fully equipped kitchen across the courtyard from the dining room, where your personal butler will serve delicious food prepared by the talented chef. If you don’t feel like eating in the villa, we can provide great food poolside, or arrange a picnic or dinner in the bush, with the clink of crystal and silverware accompanying the sounds of the Kenyan wildlife. Eating in the library for a night of your stay is also a special experience.
