All you need to know

Intro

Ol Malo, ‘place of the Greater Kudu’, is a privately-owned game sanctuary on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River in Kenya's wild and beautiful Liakipia district. The Lodge and House boast a spectacular and dramatic position nestled into a rugged escarpment overlooking beautiful bush country.

Highlights

Built, owned and managed by the Francombe family, with the help of the Samburu people, Ol Malo has established a reputation for first class service and tireless attention to detail.

Need To Know

Whether guests are looking for the excitement of a walking safari or swimming in the river complete after a relaxing bbq lunch, or enjoying the tranquil swimming pool perched on the cliff soaking up the breathtaking view, there is something for everyone at Ol Malo

Safaris

• Game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with knowledgeable guides, both during the day and at night • Nature walks with an experienced guide • Ride out on horses or camels for a close up wildlife experience • Scramble over the hilly terrain on a mountain bike • Run with a long-legged Samburu Moran (warrior) • A night under the stars in the tree house or sleeping below the cliffs in the leopard hide with floodlit views of the water hole. • Fly camping on the river with camels or horses, helping with the bush cooking and escaping reality • Helicopter safaris - from local scenic flights to exploring northern Kenya
