Taking its name from the elusive antelope, the Kudu, Ol Malo sits on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River within 5,000 acres of spectacular African bush and overlooked by the majestic Mount Kenya. Set on a rocky escarpment on the edge of the Laikipia Plateau, it is built with natural local materials in complete harmony with the surroundings.

This intimate lodge of just four rooms is managed and owned by the Francombe family, each of the rooms with its own veranda offering complete privacy. The sitting and dining area shade from the heat of the African sun and the open fire place keep you warm during cooler evenings. The infinity pool is the perfect place to cool down after a game drive, and the lawns of the lodge sweep down to the cliff edge providing a unique vantage point of the watering hole and salt lick. Besides game drives and walking safaris, activities include camel riding, horse riding and mountain biking.  Ol Malo is truly a special place, and together with their Samburu neighbours the Francombe's have created a home for themselves which they are happy to share with a privileged few.
