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 accommodation at Ololo ranges from the farm’s old converted stables, our tented cottages under makuti thatch, the original suites in the main house of the lodge and our two family spaces - the Family Wing & the original farm’s hay shed, converted to our Stable Cottage.
