Crossing the Ololo footbridge is the beginning of a unique, once in a life time experience with all of us at Ololo.
You can choose to do as many, or as little, of the adventures we have on offer. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, visit the nearby baby elephant orphanage, or simply relax around the pool with a sundowner and bitings. Guests also enjoy a guided tour of our organic farm, that produces most of the food for your plate!
We can take you on game drives into the only national park in the world on the edge of a capital city. Nairobi National Park is a surprise package and many of these birds and animals are visible from our terrace and restaurant as they move around the bush. Ololo also takes guests to visit the renowned Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage without having to exit the national park.
You are invited to take part on an excursion to Karen to visit the famed Karen Blixen Museum, the Giraffe Centre or Kazuri Beads. Or more to your inclination some shopping at local markets and boutique stores can be arranged. Anselm Hot Glass Studio and Kitengela Glass is a walk away across the neighboring farms to Ololo, with one of our Askari guides.

Where
Ololo Safari lodge is where our African story all started. Having bought the property in 2008, it took us 8 years to slowly turn it into a safari lodge, and welcome our first guests in 2016!
We live on-site, along with an incredible team of almost 50, who will make your experience at Ololo one to remember. We love meeting our guests and would love to show you around Ololo, share stories and welcome you to this beautiful country we call home.
The King of the Kenyan safari, the Masai Mara is bucket-list travel down to a tee.
The iconic wildlife (think big cats, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra and the famous river crossings of the Great Migration from July to September) is matched by some of the most beautiful scenery in Africa – and there’s a lengthy list of activities to help you discover it all.
Morning and afternoon game drives are the bread and butter of a Masai Mara safari, and all-day expeditions are common especially during the Great Migration. There’s usually a bush breakfast under a shady tree or a mobile sundowner bar to complete the experience too. Specific to the private Mara Conservancies are walking safaris and night drives, both allowing you to get to grips with the landscape in different ways. In specific locations, early-morning hot air balloon flights are possible – definitely worth booking in advance – as are horseback safaris for varying capabilities. Finally, many camps have partnerships with local Maasai communities for a chance to join them in their daily life.

Where
Enkewa Camp is one of our favourites in the Masai Mara, if not the whole of Kenya. It's a small, owner run camp of about 9 tents, in it very own secluded location close to Sand River and the border with Tanzania. This means that you can often go on safari without seeing another vehicle for hours, which is quite special for such a famous national park.

Head to your second camp to get a diverse and broader perspective of the Great Migration.

Where
Entim Camp is for the adventurer who wants to get right up close to all the wildlife action. All the luxury tents overlook the Mara River, one of the most dramatic stops on the Great Migration’s annual pilgrimage.
There are 12 tent suites, including two that are private-winged, which cater for 24 guests in total. The tent suites, masterfully elevated to ensure the perfect vantage point, overlook the magnificent Mara river. It provides the chance to peaceably view a conglomerate of animals, from the skittish warthog to the proud African elephant.
The Mara river is a life-giving source that attracts phenomenal sightings—one of which is a dramatic display of wildebeest migrating over this prime crossing point. As you closely witness the confrontation of predator and prey or, quite simply, nature running its unique course, Entim main camp’s tent lodging becomes a wildlife drama like no other.
