Ol Malo is a privately owned game sanctuary and working ranch in northern Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau, spanning 5,000 acres of rugged hills and valleys overlooking Mount Kenya. Once an overgrazed cattle farm, Ol Malo has been transformed into a conservation area, literally teeming with wildlife. Ol Malo House is a stunning six-bedroomed homestead perched on a rocky outcrop with sweeping views of the valleys and hills beyond. With a range of fabulous (and some totally unusual!) activities, this is the perfect bush break for anyone looking for excellent game-viewing and a whole lot of fun. For families and groups of friends, the house can be booked exclusively.

Accommodation consists of three rooms in the main house, and three separate cottages. The best views are from the upstairs suite in the main house (at the top of the spiral staircase) but all are incredibly spacious, with en-suite bathrooms featuring beautiful free-form stone bath tubs. All rooms have a unique, quirky design, with natural stone walls, stunning timber inlays and accents of colourful Samburu culture. The cottages are a short distance from the main house, with double bedrooms, arch windows and doors, and wonderful views across the valley.
The exclusive, private location with views to die for.
For an adventurous, spend a night out in the wilderness at the secluded Look-Out hide overlooking a waterhole.
While there are plenty of safari activities on offer, animal sightings can be more unpredictable here compared to other parks or lodges.
