Ololo Safari Lodge

Ololo Safari Lodge – Where the Wild Meets Home

Perched on the southern edge of Nairobi National Park, just a short drive from Kenya’s bustling capital, Ololo Safari Lodge is a true hidden gem. This boutique, family-owned lodge blends the comfort and character of a country home with the raw beauty of Africa’s wildlife—making it a unique and unforgettable gateway to safari life.

Whether you're arriving straight from Nairobi’s international airport or ending your safari with a restful retreat, Ololo welcomes you with personalised service, effortless style, and the sense that you’ve found your home away from home.

A Unique Setting, Just Minutes from the City


What makes Ololo truly special is its location. While most safari lodges are deep in the bush, Ololo sits just 45 minutes from Nairobi’s city centre—yet feels like a world away. Overlooking the Nairobi National Park, the lodge offers panoramic views of open plains where giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and even lions roam freely.

Guests can enjoy game drives just minutes from their door, and it’s not uncommon to spot wildlife right from the lodge’s garden or pool deck.



Stylish Comfort with a Story


Ololo is more than just a lodge—it’s a restored colonial-era farmhouse with soul and style. Each room is uniquely designed with a blend of African materials, vintage finds, and modern comfort. The owners’ love for detail and hospitality shines through in every corner.

Accommodation options include:

  • Elegant Farm Rooms with rustic charm
  • Spacious Stable Rooms, lovingly converted from the property’s original stables
  • The luxurious Tower Room, perfect for couples or honeymooners
  • The Family Wing, ideal for those traveling with children


All rooms are en-suite and feature thoughtful touches like natural textiles, cozy furnishings, and beautiful garden or park views.

A True “Safari-Home” Experience


What sets Ololo apart is its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You’re not just a guest here—you’re part of the family. Whether sharing stories around the firepit, enjoying a farm-to-table meal, or sipping a drink as giraffes stroll by, every moment feels warm, intimate, and unhurried.

The team offers tailored service without formality—think barefoot luxury with heart.



Farm-to-Table Freshness


Ololo’s kitchen is one of its most celebrated features. Much of the produce comes from the onsite organic farm, including fresh vegetables, herbs, and eggs. Meals are creative, seasonal, and served with flair—whether you're dining in the open-air pavilion, on the lawn under the stars, or in the cozy farmhouse dining room.

Expect dishes that fuse local ingredients with international inspiration—healthy, delicious, and always memorable.

Wildlife & Activities


While many guests come to unwind, Ololo offers plenty of opportunities for exploration:

  • Guided game drives in Nairobi National Park
  • Visits to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Centre
  • Farm tours and garden walks on the Ololo grounds
  • Relaxing by the pool or reading on a shady verandah
  • Birdwatching and photography around the lodge


With its unique location, Ololo is perfect for both safari first-timers and those looking to end a longer journey with comfort and charm.
