THE PLACE OF THE GREATER KUDU
Ol Malo – in Maa means ‘ the place of the Greater Kudu’ – a rare and elusive large antelope in Kenya, known for the impressive horns on the males. A good sighting of these camouflaged beasts requires patience, luck and the inner desire to embark on an adventure, much like that you will find in the land of the Kudu.
With the Rhythm of the Land
Life at Ol Malo is about experiences; Horse riding amongst wildlife, camel trekking through the treetops of the acacia scrub land, guided walks immersing oneself in the raw beauty of Kenya’s landscapes whilst learning from the land, a timeless journey connecting visitors with ancient traditions.
awe- inspiring Helicopter safaris
Ol Malo has also become known for its ‘otherworldly’ helicopter trips unveiling Kenya’s diverse topography from a Bird’s Eye view. Vast moonscapes, painted valleys, sand dunes and flamingo bejewelled lakes. Take flight in a ‘doors-off’ helicopter for the adventure of a lifetime.
