your home in the bush
Ol Malo welcomes all dynamics of adventurers from honeymooners to families and groups, offering options for exclusive or non exclusive-use accommodations with private guides, and access to tailored activities.
One-Night Sleepout Experiences
For those looking to add a little adventure to their stay, our sleepout experiences offer the chance to spend a night in the wild—either beneath the stars in the Treehouse or in the Leopard Hide overlooking a waterhole.
The best part? You don’t give up your room at the lodge. If, once you’re here and you decide you’d rather not spend your night out that’s absolutely fine. These options are included in your stay (we do like a little heads up but its not entirely necessary) and the treehouse is weather dependant.
Extras on pre-booked basis only – our fly camp close to home , or Kampi Andrew star camp on Lake Turkana accessed by helicopter.
Your Stay With Us
While lunchtimes in particular at Ol Malo are a social occasion around the pool, most activities and experiences are private to your group and tailored to your interests, pace, and abilities—whether that’s riding, walking, exploring by vehicle, or simply taking time to relax. For those seeking a little more privacy, we are also happy to arrange private breakfasts, and dinners in a variety of beautiful locations, allowing you to enjoy a more intimate dining experience whenever you choose.
