Olonana also has an innovative wetland system whereby grey and waste-water is treated and released back into the Mara River. Guests may visit the wetlands project and have a look at the constantly developing research taking place in the wetlands. An organic garden has also been set up at the camp where fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown for use in the camp's kitchen.
