Immerse yourself in culture – uncover the sacred beauty and generous spirit of the Ol Lentille people by visiting the only luxury community owned lodge in Laikipia, Kenya.

The unfenced Ol Lentille conservancy plays a vital role in protecting an important animal migration corridor. The model is based on a tight partnership between the Maasai and Samburu communities who own the land (and the safari lodge) and the operators of the tourism business.

By protecting the conservancy, they enable the tourism activity, from which they derive direct (financial) and indirect (employment, training…) benefits.

This is a win-win partnership for the communities and for conservation, funded by tourism.
