Ol Malo

Location

Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau nestled into a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honoured lands of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. An ancient land inhabited by wildlife and peoples of long ago, undisturbed and living by the rhythm of nature, there, as part of this untamed and beautiful landscape is Ol Malo – Place of the Greater Kudu.

Description

A stunning extra-ordinary bush home created and built with natural rock, ancient olive wood and thatch.

Accommodation/Facilities: Spread along the cliff edge, four cottages accommodate a maximum of eight people. Each cottage is unique in style and layout, offering maximum privacy and comfort, with kings size beds, luxurious en-suite bathrooms and private verandahs. Ol Malo has a separate sitting room with fireplace, and a dinning room with wide open windows. The swimming pool spills over the cliff edge and is an ideal place to unwind!
