OL MALO
- Four luxurious guest cottages
- Set along the Uaso Nyiro River
- Game-drives & guided walks
- Camel treks & excursions to Karisia Hills
Ol Malo, “the place of the Greater Kudu”, is set in a 2 023-hectare (5 000 acre) ranch and game sanctuary which lies along the Uaso Nyiro River on the edge of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. It is home to the nomadic Ndorobo people.
Built of natural rock with thatched roofs, Ol Malo is shaped by rocks and the curve of ancient olive wood. The separate living area and dining room, each with an open fireplace for cool evenings, have large windows with magnificent views. Guest cottages are discreetly nestled between rocks on cliffs overlooking a much frequented waterhole and salt lick, surrounded by miles of rugged bush with Mount Kenya looming in the background. A beautiful freeform swimming pool is perched at the cliffside and offers an incredible view of the valley below.
Enjoy picnics and sundowners in the bush, day and night game-drives, escorted walks for birds and game viewing, camel treks, visits to colourful Samburu manyattas and day excursions into the forests of the Karisia Hills. More than 50 different species of wildlife have been seen, from elephant and kudu to klipspringer, and over 185 species of birds have been identified at Ol Malo.
Accommodation is in four luxurious and spacious double guest cottages, each with private verandas, huge baths and fabulous views.
