Ololo Safari Lodge & Farm

The heart of Ololo is a traditional colonial farmhouse which has been restored and extended by the owners. Its rooms feature a blend of traditional African and modern styles. There is a large open living room with a fireplace, and an adjoining library. All the rooms in the original building have views over the national park. The restaurant, ‘The Kitchen at Ololo’, is open to the garden and serves farm-fresh dishes. Tables are often set up on the terrace for the best views.

The lodge has a total of 16 rooms, consisting of different types of accommodation. The Terrace Room and The Tower Room have private terraces, the three tented cottages offer a bush experience with thatch roofs and canvas and stone walls. The original stone-walled stables of the property have been transformed into the seven individually-designed Stable rooms. The Stable Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage. All rooms have room service, WiFi, spa services and large baths with natural bath products.

Guests can go on game drives to Nairobi National Park and cultural excursions can also be arranged on request. Visit the Karen Blixen Museum set in the Danish author’s Kenyan home, the Giraffe Centre, and Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage where you can adopt a baby elephant, and Anselm Kitengela Hot Glass, where craftsmen blow glass in the foundry building. Shopping at local markets can also be arranged or simply sat back and relax in Ololo’s living room.
