ololo lodge

Situated on the banks of the Mbagathi River on the southern border of Nairobi National Park, Ololo Safari Lodge offers the comforts of home and superb service.

Although the lodge is only a 45-minute drive through the park from Nairobi airport, its secluded location belies the fact that it is in a capital city. It is set in a working 20-acre farm which means it offers wonderfully fresh produce which in turn means delicious meals.

Wildlife is right on the doorstep and you can enjoy breathtaking views over the national park, to the Ngong Hills with a sundowner in hand. You may wish to cool down and relax in the pool, enjoy a safari into the park, take a tour of the Ololo Farm, or perhaps one of the numerous excursions available in Nairobi.

On the banks of the Mbagathi River on the southern border of Nairobi National Park, approximately 40 minutes' drive from Nairobi airport.

Bread, cakes and pastries are all baked in-house and menus are created around produce grown here at the farm under organic farming practices. You can dine under the trees, on the terraces or on colder nights, in the restaurant with small braziers to ward off the cold night air. There is a large lounge with an open fireplace and comfortable seating and a fully-stocked bar, plus a cosy library. The swimming pool with sunloungers is the perfect place to cool down or catch some sun, and you can even have a relaxing massage.
