A Safari Camp Like No Other / Masai Mara Kenya
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 05. 2024
- We have been to many luxury safari camps in Kenya and especially within the Masai Mara region. With that being said, Olonana by Sanctuary Retreats brings the luxury safari experience to a whole new level. This safari lodge might deserve a 6 star rating!
To book your own luxury Kenyan safari, contact our friends at Ongeri Expeditions and they'll help you find the right safari experience for you! www.ongeriexpeditions.com/
From the moment you enter the main lodge area, you immediately get a wow factor. The décor, the river and outdoor spaces are all simply stunning. But Sanctuary Olonana is much more than just beautiful. The level of service you get from their team is also worth that 6th star and ultra luxury title.
Now let's talk about the river suite. Those suites are some of the largest safari accommodations you can find here in Kenya. The suite is divided in four different areas. First we have the main room with a king size bed, vanity and working desk. From there, the very large bathroom with a three headed shower, double sink and a bathtub overlooking the Mara river. The third section is the living room with a large seating area also offering a stunning view and finally the outdoor space which is the perfect place to relax.
Finally, the location of Sactuary Olonana is more than ideal for game drives. The Mara Triangle is a beautiful area filled with animals from elephants to lions and if you are a bit lucky like we were, rhinos and leopards.
Overall, a fantastic luxury travel experience. A new favorite for us after visiting over 70 different safari camps and lodges. If you are looking to plan a high end safari but don't necessarily want to stay in a tent, this is the camp for you. The Olonana safari camp is everything wilderness with the amenities of a hotel.

One of the reasons I like your vlogs is that I can watch them with my kids without expecting a PG scene. They also give me ideas of places to visit.
Of course! We will always stay family friendly, our nieces and nephews back in Canada also watch our videos! .p
My jaw dropped when I saw a view of the river 😩 absolutely stunning
Same here! Amazing spot overall. :)
many international youtubers are organizing group tours for foreign tourists of countries they are super familiar with. You guys know enough about Kenya to pull it off. I would definitely sign up.
We are for sure thinking about it. I am simply not sure if people would be interested to be stuck with us for a week and also if I can entertain people for that long! 🤣
Kenya 🇰🇪 my country but we are proud of you guys
Kenya is wonderful :)
Your couple deserves to be a tourism ambassadors
That would be amazing :p
Wow, the poduction quality....top notch, absolutely love it!!👌👌
Much appreciated!
Wow! Room and shower is beautiful! And that view and sound of the river! Outside day bed! Awesome! Bliss! Wonder! God bless you guys!
That place truly had it ALL!
@@DaveMani I visited Kenya a few years ago and I loved it but you guys have opened up the realities of Kenya to the entire world! Thank you for doing so! I hope your channel continues to grow by leaps and bounds! Keep it up Dave and Tracy!
Thanks for the kind and honest review about our country Kenya. Its unfortunate that most Kenyans dont enjoy all these goodies in their neighbourhood. May the lord help me to visit Maasai mara this year.
I love my country Kenya
All the best to Kenya! 🇰🇪❤️
I heard Dave making the same comments and feeling the same feelings as me during my stay at Sanctuary Olonana = I will never forget my fantastic visit there and cried when it was time to leave. I told the Olonana staff to help me find a way to ship my pets to me and I'd stay there forever haha
Are your pets lions by any chance 😊
Yeah, the quality if service and accommodation there is simply incredible!
@@SamirTajir, I wish... kind of haha
@@corylions8299 you can have your dog named Simba
Wow. I think besides the place being amazing, you guys have a way of bringing out the best in places you visit.
Wow I really appreciate that Nina :)
Looks like the moment you hooked up with Ongeri expeditions, your safari experience went up many notches higher and for good reasons. The Mani's and Ongeri expeditions is a match made in heaven. Good for both of you as this is what collaboration should be all about.
Haha they are really good at finding all the great safari spots! :)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video about an African safari. As an African living in Europe, I rarely see such content on TV, enjoy your time 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I have watched thousands of safari videos. This is one of the best blog videos that I have seen.
Well done and keep them coming. I was really impressed.
Wow thank you so much for that! It means a lot.
The mara after the rainy season is so lush, I love it.
I never make resolutions because I always forget the moment I put the pen down but this year I'm making one. My resolution for this year is to take a trip courtesy of Ongeri expeditions
We are in the mara right now again and the lushness is at another level. Never grass this tall!!! Loll
Asante Sana for Letting people out there know what we have as a country! .👍🇰🇪
It is truly our pleasure! 🇰🇪❤️
Uganda 🇺🇬 has luxury but this,is ultimate luxury 🎉🎉
Fair enough! We'd love to go on a safari in Uganda too! :)
@@DaveMani you could check out Lemala WildWaters lodge,Elephant Plains Lodge ,Kyaninga Lodge..et cetera🤗
I agree. This lodge qualifies for six star. Luxury at its best❤❤❤
I know right! Just incredible!
It's officially 4*
It's officially 4*
Dave Mani your so underrated
Thanks! :) I really appreciate it.
One day someone will come in with big bucks for all the hard work he's put in. He's simply amazing for what he does.
Happy Saturday! can’t wait to watch ! thank you for making my work days on saturday’s bearable ! haha
Haha happy to help my friend!!
@@DaveMani 💪🏼😎
wow guys, great vid... I think this is one of my favs💯, An you saw the top Three in one day.
This camp is a top for us! 10/10
Actually if you didn't know the leopard is a pretty shy animal. It doesn't like to be seen that much 😅
Very true!
Olonana was the head of the Maasai when the British arrived in the 1890s. Due to a major drought and a cattle disease that had come from Arabia, the Maasai had been devastated (which they have never recovered from), and their power waned. They had no option but to get into a military alliance with the British, even offered most of the land they had conquered in their march south, for British settlement. Some people see him as a traitor, and allowed violent colonization,others see him as a person who had no choice but do what he needed to do. The third highest peak in Mt Kenya is named after him, a major elite school formerly named after the Duke of York was renamed after him, and lots of places in Nairobi are also named after Lenana (Olonana).
Wow thanks for the history lesson. Very interesting :)
❤Is Lenana school named after him ?
@@yassinwill Yes.
The disease was Rinderpest.
Background music is incredible
Thanks for noticing! :)
Absolutely enjoyed this video. Thanks Dave and Traci
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day.
100% that place is phenomenal never seen a lodge like that its like a hotel in the wilderness love it!
Exactly! Life in the bush with the hotel feel! 🇰🇪👍🏼

I started to follow your channel when researching potential safari trip to Kenya and appreciate you sharing various locations and price ranges. Now that we visited with the family Angama last October I have so much more appreciation looking at your safari rides and referencing possible experiences in different lodges. Thank you! this was now put on my wish list :-)
Thats awesome! I hope you had the best time ever! 🇰🇪👍🏼
I kept telling myself I've been here before. I couldn't place it. Till i saw Olonana.. What a fantastic place

Daniel deutsch is the best...
And like the way you keep using the songs it's amazing 👏
Oh yes he is!!! Huge fan :)
I can't express how much i love you guys. Your videos are always fun to watch and also give people ideas on amazing places to visit. I truly hope you consider starting a tour company. You can help people with bookings, organise transport and things to do. I just Adore you guys and hope you never stop taking us along your adventures.❤❤❤
We are considering group travel eventually but I'm not sure if there would be enough demand and also if I can entertain people for a week long... loll 🤣

Beautiful place of all you have been
I know right! 😍😍😍
Now that’s glamping!!
That's the ultimate level of glamping! Haha
Wow, I never thought I would see anything close to Ishara camp but this one,really outdid themselves! Those river views were phenomenal! And Tracy, thank you for teaching me that 11:30am is already in the afternoon!😂
Hahahaha I noticed that too while editing. For the record, 11:30am is still the morning! 🤣
Welcome to kenya🤗🤗
Cheers :)
Looks amazing
It was!
Amazing! ❤
Thank you! 😄
Wow!!! You got to see the rhinos!! Beautiful camp.....thank you so much for sharing!
We got REALLY lucky on that one!
i was waiting for guys to visit this place
It was the BEST!
Happy birthday Dave. This was an awesome vlog. Also, by the way, Let my friend Tracey know the outfit she has on this entire vlog was awesome. Loved it.
Thank you so so much my friend!!
Spectacular and fancy sights but Dave takes the spotlight for singing "Kata" 😂😂
Hahahah 🤣🤣🤣
Such a nice spot!
It really is!
Tracy should seriously consider doing longer more indepth house/ room reviews, those would be enjoyable.
Glad you enjoy them. Its hard sometimes to find the perfect balance of everything. Some people want more tours, some more food and some more animals... haha doing our best.
Am with mani on this one a hippo out of the water on land is epic. its like a combination of a rhino and a leopard sighting. The video is like a movie the. The Editing combined with the music and scenery make this one of your best videos.
Hippos are just such fascinating creatures! :) And thanks btw for the editing compliment! ❤️❤️❤️
Safaris are the best.
Yes they are!!! 100%
Great vlog 🥰
Thank you 😊
I've to say tho having seen your Ishara video I'd put this slightly below Ishara. Ishara is a different gravy, man. Love this one still.
Ishara is for sure the best but for anyone who does not want to stay in a tent, that is as good! :p
Well done my. People 🥰🥰
Thank you Rose!!!
Sir you are a rockstar ❤
Wow thank you 😎
@@DaveMani sir you are a superstar
I know the goal is to tour the world after you live Kenya this June. But I can't help but wonder of the business opportunities available to you especially on tourism/safari side of things right here in Kenya. The amount of time you've spent here, the connections and networks, the countlesss parks, reserves and sanctuaries you've visited in Kenya and the general knowledge of Kenya's tourism landscape you have gained through your experiences. I see a very big business opportunity. Maybe you can think about it when you go back home in Canada for the six weeks. Travel the world but maybe still run a tourist business here. Don't sleep on all that knowledge and experience you've built while living in Kenya.
You're for sure right but our desire to see the world is larger than our desire for business opportunities. :)
Maybe we'll just start safari tours in Kenya in the near future tho. Who knows... 😎
My thinking maybe you should have a tour package Kenyan chapter and people can pay to have you two take them on various tours in Kenya and many would sign up for that...I just love your tours very informative
We are seriously thinking about it... Its a matter of if there is enough demand and if I can entertain people for a week straight! 🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love by From India 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cheers my friend!
All tym vibes.... anytime , anyday... kindly carry me next tym, am in Nairobi... please... I'll be glad
Haha thats place was top :p
I have it now?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching Faith.
5:07 Now I love this soundtrack.
I have a question Dave, you never shot a game drive with your drone. What are the reasons?
Thanks for noticing :p
Woow its a 4wheel #Hippo
Yeah :p
Amazing Amazing safari camp what's the name
We out all their information in the description.
Another place added to list that you guys keep making longer... For when I'm finally loaded
Haha sorry not sorry :p
Topnotch safari
That's for sure!
Great video. When were you there?
Mid-December 2023.
💯🔥
Cheers!
Damn 😮😮😮
I know right!!!
@@DaveMani I have a bucketlist just from watching your channel
💯
Cheers
Great view but that water is just too close, you dont trust Kenyan rivers any time. Ask the guys at samburu serena, in 2008 there was floods and it brought a crocodile into the swimming pool. Following year larsen camp was also marooned. Have never experienced the same at the mara game reserve but that river is too close for comfort.
I get your point.
❤
:)
Which camera do you use?
A Sony a7Siii.
It's a shame that most guests just want to get a shot of the big 5 and the larger mammals in Africa. There is so much more out there that people can see and experience. Only a true safari adventurist will appreciate the birds, insects, fish, reptiles and plants.
You're right but the main reason is that most people are going on safari as a once in a lifetime trip and if that would have been the case for us to would would have had the same expectations. (Lions, elephants, cheetahs, etc.)
Can you show us Kibo Safari Camp Amboseli
We'll see, we are pretty booked out until we leave Kenya as of now.
First
You got it!
The place is so beautifull but I am really scared of snake 🐍 and spider 🕷️ mosquito🦟😅😅 😢
There are spider but for the rest, very rare.
Was this affected by the flood?
I'm not sure to be honest but due to the fact that they are right by the river, I would assume so...
Superb video please tell me you guys arnt leaving africa. 😢
@lilo47 nothing wrong with living in Africa I'd love to. I meant I hope they weren't leaving Africa so
Much enjoy their content. Brilliant channel
We are in July most likely. Time for us to travel! 😍 We will be all over the world including Africa so stay posted.
Kenya Ni kwetu lakini weee 😅nikama sipajuiii
Not sure I understand...
😊😊🙏🏽
Have a great weekend Ruth :)
Dave Mani, I heard you speaking some swahili "lala salama" please be throwing in those swahili words. I want to know something.
Haha I know just a few words
I have a question why do wake-up so early
I am personally a morning person so I do it all the time but on safari the earlier the better to see animals.
Love your videos but less shower shots please. We watch with kids
Thanks a lot and the shower only show shoulders... I thought I was already mindful :p
