Kenya 
Authentic Tailor-Made African Safaris
Ololo Safaris is a family owned and operated safari company that curates unforgettable journeys while keeping the planet’s well-being at heart.
In 2007, the Chapman family went on the safari of a lifetime to East Africa. Little did they know that a year later, they would uproot their lives in Australia to purchase and convert an old family homestead into a safari lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park, Kenya. Over the years, the family has fallen in love with the people, culture, and wildlife of this beautiful continent. Ololo Safaris is their way of sharing this passion with you; starting at the family lodge, you will then explore our favourite places discovered over the last 17 years.

OLOLO LODGE
Our family owned and run lodge—where your safari begins.
It was 2008 when the Chapman family uprooted their lives in Australia and took the ambitious leap to purchase a farm and old homestead, located on the edge of Nairobi National Park, with the dream of converting it into one of Kenya’s most beautiful and sustainable lodges.
Five years later, the lodge was finally opened, and has since become one of Kenya’s most iconic destinations for eco-tourism, wildlife safaris and food fresh from the Ololo regenerative farm; the perfect home base to explore the rest of Kenya.

Kind words from our travellers
“AMAZING from start to finish! Charley arranged the perfect trip for us tailored to our desires. He made all the arrangements, yet allowed for flexibility as needed. Ololo lodge was a perfect start for our Kenya journey. The entire staff worked together to make our stay all it could be. ”

“Jim & Charley were fantastic in organising our trip to Kenya. We had a group of 21 and they were so helpful and accommodating to all our needs. We saw the Big 5, the ugly 5, the great migration in the Mara and also visited a traditional Masai village.”

“I can’t thank Jim and the team of Ololo Safaris enough for making my birthday trip into a something I’ll never forget! They hooked us with the best guides and the most beautiful lodges in Kenya where I got to see wildlife that I’ve been wanting to see since I was a child. ”
