Nairobi National Park
The lodge is a mere 45-minute drive through the park from Nairobi and both main airports, yet the lodge’s secluded location feels like a world away. Set on a productive 20 acre working commercial farm Ololo offers the joys of delicious ‘paddock to plate’ fresh ingredients. With our established and secluded gardens, guests are able to settle in and soak up a unique safari experience.
Nestled right on the edge of Nairobi National Park, Ololo Safari Lodge offers an unmatched safari experience in one of the most unique wildlife reserves in the world. Known as “The World’s Only Wildlife Capital,” the park is a haven for iconic African wildlife, all within sight of Nairobi’s city skyline. Its location provides an incredible contrast—lush savannah landscapes teeming with animals set against the backdrop of Kenya’s bustling capital city.
Nairobi National Park is home to over 100 mammal species, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and a thriving rhino population. With over 400 bird species recorded, the park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise. Guests at Ololo enjoy the privilege of seamless access to the park for game drives, exploring this natural wonder without the need for long transfers or complicated logistics.
Ololo Safari Lodge is not only a gateway to the wild beauty of Nairobi National Park but also ideally located for exploring Nairobi’s vibrant attractions and cultural landmarks. We are just a short drive from iconic sites like the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, and the enchanting Kitengela Hot Glass studios. For history and culture enthusiasts, the Karen Blixen Museum and the Kazuri Beads Workshop are nearby, offering a glimpse into Kenya’s rich heritage.
Our proximity to Wilson Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport makes Ololo the perfect base for both adventurers and travelers transitioning to other safari destinations. Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in wildlife, shop for local crafts, or experience Nairobi’s dynamic city life, Ololo offers seamless access to it all, while providing a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of each day.
