Camp Details

4.8 / 519 ratings

Set high on an escarpment in Kenya’s Laikipia region, Ol Malo House is a private-use safari home designed for families and friends seeking space, freedom and connection. Built from local stone and rich with character, the house blends seamlessly into its dramatic surroundings, overlooking vast plains that stretch toward the northern frontier. With its own infinity pool, generous living spaces and a dedicated team of staff, Ol Malo House offers complete privacy while retaining the warmth and personality of a family-run property. Days are shaped entirely around guests — from horse riding, camel safaris and helicopter adventures to ranch-to-table dining and relaxed afternoons by the pool. Rooted in generations of stewardship, Ol Malo House is more than a place to stay; it is an invitation to experience Laikipia as part of the Ol Malo family.

WHY CHOOSE OL MALO HOUSE?

  • Elephant, buffalo, Eland, Beisa Oryx, Grant gazelle, Impala, common and grey Zebra, reticulated Giraffe, Lelwels Hartebeeste Gerenuk, Greater Kudu, Water Buck, Klipspringer, Steenbok, Gunthers Dik Dik, Warthog, Wild dog, Leopard, Cheetah, Lion, spotted and striped Hyena: where else on earth can you go out for a drive in an open vehicle.
  • Tube in tyres down the rapids or fish for catfish and barbel. Go horse or camel riding on the plains – a wonderful way to see the game, which won’t flee from horses and camels: you get very close to the action indeed.
  • Four bunk beds are set up in the leopard blind to allow you to spend the night there in the hope of catching a glimpse of the elusive leopard.
