Ol Malo Lodge
About Ol Malo Lodge
Overlooking the Uaso Nyiro River in the heart of Laikipia, Ol Malo Lodge is a striking family-run retreat built from local stone and olive wood. The lodge is integrated into a rocky escarpment, providing vast views over the valley where wildlife—including elephant, leopard, and oryx—frequently roam. The accommodation style is rustic yet refined, emphasizing an open-air connection to the harsh, beautiful northern terrain. Guests can participate in horseback riding, bush walks, and cultural visits, all guided by hosts with deep-seated ties to the land. As a working ranch and conservation success story, the focus remains firmly on the integrity of the environment and providing a genuine, immersive experience that feels more like staying in a well-appointed private home than a traditional hotel.
Why we like it
It is deeply rooted in the local community and ranching history, offering an authentic, intimate atmosphere that feels completely removed from the standard tourist circuit.
