Those wishing to explore the real Africa and experience the very best in Kenyan hospitality.
A privately-owned game sanctuary on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in Laikipia - 5000 acres of spectacular bush country overlooked by Mount Kenya and teeming with the elusive antelope from which the land takes its name.
Every room in the intimate four bedroom lodge and beautiful 6 bedroom house is individually decorated, blending traditional local style with luxurious hand woven furnishings and thoughtful touches – a home away from home. Each spacious room has an ensuite bathroom and cascading shower, an oversize hot tub and private verandah.
All food at Ol Malo is freshly prepared in the kitchen: vegetables and produce from the local farms, freshly squeezed juice from the orchards and wines from around the world. Bush breakfasts, dinners and picnics are a particular favourite. The bedrooms, dining room and dramatic infinity swimming pool are all built on the edge of an escarpment with breathtaking views of the wild landscape below.
Wake up to see the mind-blowing sunrise, framing the snow-capped peaks of Mt Kenya. Celebrate the new day with a dawn ride into the wilderness. Feel the night’s chill burn off with the rising of the great equatorial sun. Keep the tempo with the world by the roll of the camel’s stride. Visit the colourful Samburu nomads of the North and sink with the dying sun into the waters of the pool. At night luxuriate in the peace and comfort of Ol Malo and tune into the magical sounds of wild Africa under an ancient starscape.
Each day is tailor-made to suit you. From walking across the plains and into the valleys, watching herds of elephant and the rare Greater Kudu, special moments tracking wild dog or star gazing evenings for honeymoon couples, you can do as much or as little as you choose.
