Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau, Ol Malo Lodge is nestled in a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honoured lands of Kenya's Northern Frontier District. An ancient land inhabited by wildlife and peoples of a time long ago, undisturbed and living by the rhythm of nature, there, as part of this untamed and beautiful landscape is Ol Malo - Place of the Greater Kudu.
Location
Access is via private air charter flight direct to Ol Malo airstrip or by scheduled flights to Nanyuki, departing daily from Wilson Airport, to connect with a private air charter to Ol Malo.
Kenya safari hotels and accommodation
Amongst the wide range of Kenya hotels, some make the ideal Kenya safari destination. Choose a safari lodge, safari hotel, bush camp, luxury lodge, safari camp, tented camp or bush lodge. National park accommodation usually takes the form of traditional safari lodges or tented camps, but numerous other options exist on the park boundaries. Luxury lodges and luxury camps options are also offered in the private wildlife conservancies.
The Background
Colin and Rocky Francombe, both born in Kenya of settler families, designed and built Ol Malo with a deep understanding of how it should be. They are glad to share their knowledge and love of this magical land and welcome you to their extraordinary bush home in Kenya - Ol Malo. To stay at Ol Malo is to live by a different rhythm, measure the day by the timeworn patterns of nature. Wake up to see the sunrise, framing the snow-capped peaks of Mt Kenya. Celebrate the new day with a dawn ride into the wilderness. Feel night's chill burn off with the rising of the great equatorial sun. Keep 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.
