Ol Malo

Ol Malo is a 5,000 acre ranch and game sanctuary, which lies along the Uaso Nyiro River on the edge of Kenya's north-eastern province. It overlooks the Mukogodo, home of the nomadic Ndorobo people, giving impressive views.

The lodge is very small catering for just eight guests at any one time in sublime comfort. Colin and Rocky Francombe, the hosts, are what really make Ol Malo special. They have lived in Kenya all their lives and are very personable and will ensure you get the most out of your stay in this peaceful wilderness. Their home is built with natural rock, with thatched roofs, overlooking a much visited waterhole. The rooms all have en-suite bathrooms and a private verandah.

You can choose to go on day and night games drives, escorted bush walks and camel treks. Game includes giraffe, zebra, antelope, elephant, leopard and buffalo. Day excursions to the Karisia Hills and to the Samburu town of Maralal are available. Alternatively there is a pool to relax in, or excellent birdwatching to enjoy.
