Ol Malo Lodge

Laikipia Conservancy Areas, Kenya

Perched on a rock escarpment high above the plains, the family-run Ol Malo Lodge has one of the most dramatic locations in Africa. If your image of Africa is landscapes that seem to stretch for eternity, this little gem will take your breath away.

Built from natural materials, the lodge itself feels like a home away from home. Large private verandas and glorious baths are just two of the features, complemented by an infinity swimming pool on the edge of the cliff.

Experience breath-taking panoramic views over the Laikipia conservancy and unique game viewing from a trip on the lodge’s helicopter– an activity not to be missed! The helicopter can even take you out into the bush for a nights fly-camping for a truly immersive safari experience.

Ol Malo is on the border of Samburu and Laikipia counties. Wildlife roams freely and every day’s safari feels like a nomadic journey across vast hinterland. We’d highly recommend travelling by foot, camel, or horseback, because you can discover huge areas that are completely inaccessible by road. This lodge is very family friendly with a range of fantastic activities everyone is guaranteed to enjoy.

Another delightful activity is wiling away a few hours at the hide, which has a perfect photographer’s view over a popular waterhole with a chance to stay here overnight or in the tree house. There’s even an option for a night’s camping out in the bush. We also love the bush breakfasts and dinners; great ways to be amongst nature.

Elephant and buffalo are among the local residents and although game densities aren’t especially high, the sense of wilderness is exquisite. We feel that Ol Malo offers a true glimpse into the authenticity of Africa; welcoming smiles, a sense of adventure, and views that will stay with you for an eternity.
