Camp Details
Ololo Safari Lodge offers the warmth and comfort of a home with effortless style and personalized service. Originally an old Kenyan homestead and since converted to a small lodge, Ololo is perfectly situated, on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park.
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.
WHY CHOOSE OLOLO SAFARI LODGE?
- Guests can take cultural excursions to Karen to visit the Karen Blixen Museum set in the Danish author’s Kenyan home, the Giraffe Centre, and Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage where visitors can adopt a baby elephant.
- Ololo has the ideal solution for travellers looking for somewhere quiet and beautiful to relax between flights.
- Ololo is also a perfect setting for small weddings and parties.
- With the pool and large open grounds, there is loads of space for children to run around and be active.
