Safari company
Olonana is Abercrombie & Kent's Mara lodge, now listed as Olonana Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary; older guides call it Sanctuary Olonana. Secondary sources place it on a private stretch of the Mara River at the foot of the Siria Escarpment, west of the Triangle and outside the reserve, with 14 tents and a three-bedroom suite. A&K's own page would not render, so every figure here comes from resellers: from $2,450 per person in peak 2026 and $1,020 in late 2026 on one listing. Choose it if you are already travelling with A&K; skip it if you want an owner-published rate and confirmed inclusions before you commit.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Masai Mara National Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe non-resident rate from 1 July to 31 December; $100 from 1 January to 30 June.
- $200per person, per day
- VehicleKSh 1,000 a day for a car under six seats, about $8 at KSh 129 to the dollar.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $1224 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The figure above uses the July to December rate. From January to June the same sum halves for the people. A day is 06:00 to 18:00, and guests in the conservancies outside the reserve pay only on the days they drive in.
The full fee schedule for Masai Mara National ReserveRates at Olonana Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary
From $2,450 pppn (reseller rate). A&K's own page did not render for reading, so this is a reseller figure: safari.com quotes from $2,450 per person sharing per night (read 6 Oct 2026). Search listings from another secondary source give $2,450 for 1 June to 31 October 2026 and $1,020 for 1 November to 20 December 2026; neither is confirmed by A&K. Whether the reserve ticket ($100 or $200 per adult per day), drinks and VAT are included is not known.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Rates checked on 6 October 2026 against each operator's own website or 2026 rate sheet, in US dollars per person per night sharing unless the entry says otherwise. One figure is a reseller's, not the owner's: Olonana Lodge's $2,450 (safari.com, 6 Oct 2026), because A&K's own page would not load. Angama's rates come from a January 2026 copy of its site, since the live site blocks automated reading. On top of nearly every rate sits Narok County's reserve ticket: $100 per non-resident adult per 12-hour day (6 am to 6 pm) from January to June and $200 from July to December, $50 for a child of 9 to 17, free at 8 and under. Conservancy camps add their own nightly fee, $130 per adult in Mara North, Olare Motorogi and Naboisho in 2026 and $116 in Mara Siana, unless the entry says it is included.
