Soak up the Safari experience

A Boutique, Family Owned Safari Lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park, Kenya.

Ololo Safari Lodge offers the warmth and comfort of a home with effortless style and personalised service.

Originally an old Kenyan homestead and since converted to a small family run lodge, Ololo is perfectly situated on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park.

Wildlife is right on our doorstep; with game drives offering the chance to spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and one of the largest rhino populations. Welcome to the world’s only Wildlife Capital City.

Located just 45 minutes from both the international and domestic airports, we'll pick you up from the airport and transfer you through the park, at any time of day or night, to kick-off a truly unique safari experience

"Doesn't get better than this! Had the absolute best time at Ololo last week. Arranging pickup was easy and we were greeted warmly upon arrival. The main staff we worked with were James and Susan and they treated us like family from the very beginning. The food was DELICIOUS with nearly everything being sourced from their on-site farm."

"Beautiful property with exquisite service! We stayed at Ololo for three nights and had a great time. Less than 30 minutes from Nairobi Airport we were picked up by a driver and drove through Nairobi national park to the lodge. Safari rides in comfortable Land Cruisers at dawn and dusk each day for 3 hours. Sammy was a delightful driver and guide. Saw giraffes, lions, cheetahs (with 3 cubs), black & white rhinos, hippos, monkeys, jackals, gazelles, ostriches, various antelopes, mostly at very close range.

"Magical retreat! Ololo Lodge was our first and last stop on an 11-night safari planned by Ololo safaris. The lodge and its surroundings are stunningly beautiful. Our group of 5 adults stayed in the stable cottage. If you’re coming to Kenya for a longer safari, do contact Jim or Charley to plan your itinerary!
