Ololo Safari lodge. 

At Ololo Safari Lodge, you will experience the true essence of Africa. The word ‘Ololo’ originates from the Maasai language, meaning ‘Place of Movement,’ and this remarkable lodge is where our African story began. In 2008, the adventurous Chapman family left their lives in Australia behind and embarked on a journey to purchase a farm and old homestead on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Their dream was to transform this enchanting place into one of Kenya’s most breathtaking and sustainable lodges. After five years of dedication and hard work, Ololo Safari Lodge opened its doors, captivating the hearts of visitors with its extraordinary charm, eco-tourism initiatives, thrilling wildlife safaris, and delectable farm-to-table cuisine.Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Mbagathi River, which forms the southern boundary of Nairobi National Park, Ololo enjoys an idyllic setting. Despite being just a 45-minute drive from Nairobi and the main airports, the lodge’s secluded location feels like a tranquil world of its own. Surrounded by a thriving 20-acre working commercial farm, Ololo treats its guests to the delights of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. As you explore our beautifully manicured and private gardens, you will become immersed in a truly unique safari experience.   Nature’s wonders unfold right at your doorstep, allowing you to relish breathtaking views of the national park and the renowned Ngong Hills in the west, all while enjoying a refreshing sundowner. For a more leisurely day, you can while away the hours by the pool or embark on an unforgettable safari into the heart of the park. Discover the secrets of Ololo Farm on a guided tour or join us on an excursion to the historic Karen neighborhood. The accommodation at Ololo Safari Lodge is a testament to our commitment to providing an extraordinary experience for our guests. Each room has been meticulously designed, blending modern comforts with tasteful historical details. Choose from a range of unique and diverse options, including the farm’s old converted stables, tented cottages with traditional makuti thatch roofs, the original suites located in the lodge’s main house, or our two spacious family cottages.   During the cooler months, you can unwind by the inviting fire-pit in the garden or cozy up next to our blazing fireplace in the warm and welcoming living room.
