Heading 1

Originally an old Kenyan homestead and since converted to a small family run lodge, Ololo is perfectly situated on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park. The lodge is owned and run by the Chapman family and Ololo’ – comes from the Maasai language meaning ‘Place of Movement.’

The lodge is reached by a pedestrian suspension bridgeover the Mbagathi River.

The accommodation at Ololo includes the farm’s old converted stables, tented cottages under makuti thatch and the original suites in the main house of the lodge and two family cottages. There is the Terrace Suite, Tower Suite, 7 Stable rooms, 3 tented cottages, a 3-bedroom Stable Cottage and a double storey Family Wing sleeping 5.

The restaurant - The Kitchen at Ololo - menus are created around produce on hand, grown onsite at the farm under organic farming practices. The farm includes chickens, ducks, mushrooms, orchards and a vegetable and herb garden.

The main lodge includes a large cosy lounge, pool, sauna and spa – and a hand-made wooden furniture workshop.

Activities include Ololo Regenerative Farm tours, game drives in Nairobi National Park, visits to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Giraffe Centre.
