Oldonyo Laro - Kenya

Situé dans le sanctuaire sauvage de Nguruman, Oldonyo Laro est une
résidence privée exclusive où des safaris originaux, exclusifs et uniques
peuvent être expérimentés. Avec des vues plongeantes vers de la grande
Vallée du Rift et de la forêt de Nguruman, Oldonyo Laro est construit selon
le modèle traditionnel des demeures privées de safari.
Cette réserve et le lodge ne se partagent pas et se louent dans son
intégralité, avec huit chambres aux murs de pierres abrités par un luxueux
toit de chaume, surélevées par une plate-forme pour plus de sécurité.
Les hôtes sont libres de concevoir leur propre itinéraire personnel, avec
deux hélicoptères privés et un avion de Cessna à leur disposition durant
tout leur séjour pour des excursions vers les parcs nationaux, à travers les
65'000 acres de la réserve privée ou pour une journée à la plage. Un
camp mobile de luxe est disponible pour de plus longs safaris au cœur de
la nature.

unfenced ecosystem of rich biodiversity and dramatic scenery. The
ecosystem en compasses the salt lakes of Natron and Magadi, sole nesting
grounds of East Africa's three million Lesser Flamingos and is buttressed by
the western wall of the Rift Valley. Here the land rises up to lush hardwood
forests, home to a member of the 150 million year old Cycad family, a rare

Wildlife is free to roam and often one hears zebra, buffalo and impala
running through, or the distant cough of a leopard and a local troop of
baboons raising the alarm. Life there takes on a pace and rhythm of your
own choosing, casual, relaxed, far removed from the stress of civilization. This
