The lodge is a mere 45-minute drive through the park from Nairobi and both main airports, yet the lodge’s secluded location feels like a world away. Set on a productive 20 acre working farm, Ololo offers the joys of delicious ‘paddock to plate’ fresh ingredients. With our established and secluded gardens, guests are able to settle in and soak up a unique safari experience.
Wildlife is right on our doorstep and all can enjoy breathtaking views over the national park, to the famed Ngong Hills in the west, sundowner in hand. Or you may like to wile the hours away at the lodge by the pool, adventure on a safari into the park, take a tour of the Ololo Farm or perhaps an excursion with us into historic Karen.
Ololo’s rooms are unique and diverse, each tastefully appointed with attention to historical detail. The accommodation at Ololo ranges from the farm’s old converted stables, our tented cottages under makuti thatch, the original suites in the main house of the lodge and our two family spaces – the Family Wing & the original farm’s hay shed, converted to our Stable Cottage.
In the cooler months, guests may sit by the fire-pit in the garden or cosy up to our blazing fireplace in the inviting living room with our stone clad cellar and small library close at hand. Whatever time of the year you visit, it’s easy to enjoy the serenity and home-style comfort that Ololo offers.
An assortment of room types cater for a variety of needs. The spacious Terrace Suite has a living area with armchairs and an open fireplace, a marble bathroom with a roll-top bath and a private terrace. The Tower Room is located in a stone-clad tower with a balcony and a private rooftop terrace with extensive views across the park. Three tented cottages provide guests with a bush experience, sleeping under a traditional makuti thatch roof, with canvas and stone walls. These safari-style king-sized rooms are nestled amongst the gardens and have private terraces that overlook the park. Seven Stable Rooms have en suite bathrooms and small pergola covered terraces at the front of the building. The terraces overlook the gardens, with its abundant birdlife. The Stable Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage featuring modern, light-filled interiors and sleeps a maximum of six guests, and has two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a large outdoor terrace. The cottage is perfect for families, groups, or extended stays.
