THE OL MALO EXPERIENCE
Your stay will be as big as your imagination, as easygoing or adrenaline-fueled as you wish. Ol Malo and the 5,000 acres of private land around it will become your personal Kenyan playground teeming with possibility.
From the moment you arrive on our airstrip, each day will be a new adventure; whether that be horseback riding alongside giraffe and zebra, grilling out on the open plains for a sundowner, visiting the local Samburu tribe, or blasting off in our doors-off helicopter to jump off giant sand dunes and picnic on the lakeshore in the Great Rift’s Suguta Valley.
Your Suguta Day will be the emotional crescendo of your time at Ol Malo, as you set off on what The Wall Street Journal calls an “otherworldly helicopter safari.” We can confidently say there is nothing else in the world like what you will experience on this day. Some things are better left a secret: so we’ll let you discover why we say that on your own.
Each day you will choose what you would like your adventure to be and we’ll take care of the rest. Your private safari car and dedicated guide are standing at the ready to lead your Kenyan expeditions. Where will you have them go?
HONEYMOONER’S EXPERIENCE
Come see why we’ve been named a #1 Best Honeymoon Destination and savor the romance and beauty that Kenya has to offer. Ol Malo is a prime destination for those seeking equal parts adventure and serenity.
Newlyweds enjoy spending a night under the African sky in the picturesque Ol Malo Treehouse, it’s spiral wooden staircase hung with old-fashioned lanterns and table adorned with champagne and three-course meals. Other tailored activities can include a romantic bath in the outdoor heart-shaped bathtub on your private terrace, couples massages by the infinity pool, private helicopter safaris into the Great Rift Valley for a day of pure adrenaline, galloping over the plains on horseback to sunset cocktails in the wilderness, and candlelit dinners on the romantic Star Deck.
Our dedicated safari cars and private guides ensure newlyweds can enjoy their time in privacy and peace, giving couples a euphoric start to their new chapter together.
FAMILY EXPERIENCE
As a family-run operation with kids of our own, we specialize in creating experiences for families with kids of all ages.
The three-bedroom Main House and two-bedroom Hippo Cottage were created to cater to families and groups. For larger family reunions and celebrations, we can also accommodate an exclusive buyout of the six bedrooms in the Ol Malo House. From swimming pools and ping pong competitions to beginners horseback riding and spear throwing with a Samburu Warrior, your children will have no shortage of wonders to discover.
Kids and families love spending the night in the two double bunk beds at The Leopard Hide, safely enclosed but close enough to our watering hole to spot leopard and other animals throughout the night. Other activities include splashing around in our salt water infinity pool, collecting chicken eggs and milking cows at the Ol Malo Ranch, and playing outdoor games like ping pong, darts, slackline, and giant Jenga.
And for the littlest ones? Our philanthropic partner, The Samburu Trust, runs a kindergarten right here on our property that your kiddos are welcome to stop by and join in with the Samburu tribe’s school children.
OL MALO NOMAD
Africa can be felt in your core, but you have to get out there to feel it. Take your Kenya expedition one step further with an unforgettable Ol Malo Nomad trek to explore painted valleys, deserts and mountains. Accessing areas by helicopter, a team of camels, sure-footed horses, and Samburu guides with the knowledge of ancient tribes – we invite you to experience some of Kenya’s most untouched wilderness and smile with the wildest of faces.
Whether it be watching the earth fall away beneath you on Nomad Helicopter, walking further into the untamed wilderness than you have even been before with Nomad Bush Walk, unleashing your mind alongside true Kenyan Cowboys and Cowgirls on Nomad Horse, or chasing down the elusive 100-pound Jade Sea Giants on Nomad Fish – we will create a tailor-made mobile camp itinerary just for you.
OWNER’S EXPERIENCE
Kick off your safari shoes, put your favorite playlist on the Bose speakers in your living room, and call for an Old Fashioned by the fireplace. Welcome home, friend.
