Is the Ol Malo House for Me?
Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau, Ol Malo House is nestled into a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honored lands of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. These miles of dense thorn bush are favored by the shy, elusive antelope from which the house takes its name, “the place of the Greater Kudu.”
Ol Malo House was designed and built by the Francombe family. The hub of the house is a large and beautiful sitting and dining room – with open fireplaces – encircled by three en-suite double bedrooms.
Separate cottages create a further three double bedrooms: each private and comfortable cottage has arch windows and doors, en-suite bathrooms, and decor inspired by the area’s wild landscape, local flora, and the life and culture of the Samburu people.
Lighting handmade by the Samburu women creates a warm ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. A flagstone path leads you to a large open area overlooking the infinity pool, fringed by Drasina palms and this incredible land’s wide-open vistas – perfect for al fresco dining. A barbecue area creates a wonderful place in which you can end the day under a star-studded African sky.
Whilst staying at Ol Malo House, you can go on endless wild walks, camel and horse rides, mountain biking, picnics by the river, game drives, lots of interaction with the local Samburu tribe, or just relax and watch the sun go down at the end of the day.
