Description

Ol Lentille is perched on the flanks of wooded rock kopje, grassy hills, and deep valleys heavily wooded with many acacia species and African olives. The Santuary is home to the endangered African wild dog, greater kudu, leopard, striped and spotted hyena and klipspringer, as well as many elephant.

Opened in 2008, the Sanctuary at Ol Lentille was formed from a collaboration of African Wildlife Foundation, the Laikipia Maasai of the Kijabe Group Ranch, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and a conservation-minded private investor. Approximately 100 residents were employed during Ol Lentille’s construction, and the lodge continues to employ community members today, bringing new levels of prosperity to the region. Additionally, the land surrounding the lodge has been set aside as the Ol Lentille Conservancy; altogether, the land protected amounts to 20,000 acres.
