Ololo Safari Lodge

Everything was INCREDIBLE! Ololo Lodge exceeded my expectations and I will 100% be back. It's perfect for all types of travelers (solo, groups, couples, families, etc) and they have something for everyone. As a solo traveler, they made it easy for me to meet others without it feeling forced or awkward and I'm thankful to have met new lifelong friends during my stay! The entire staff at Ololo is wonderful - so welcoming, so kind, and so accommodating and they all were one of the best parts of my stay. I felt like family by the end of it and being a family owned business, you can tell they pour their heart into this place and it makes a difference for everyone, even the guests. Shoutout to Craig, Joanna, and Charley for being so great! The tours and game drives at Ololo were unbelievable - the guides are so friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging (some of the best I've ever experienced on a safari), the safari land rovers are open yet secure and the best type of vehicles to take on safari, the drives were convenient and offered 2x per day, and we saw so many animals! Plus, the Ololo team helped coordinate offsite tours/experiences (Sheldrick's Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage, Glass Blowing Factory, Bead Making Factory, Suspension Bridge, etc). The food is amazing - it's farm-to-table and as someone who has chronic stomach pains from eating US foods, I had zero stomach aches while at Ololo. The options for every meal were always such a great variety even for vegetarians or those with any allergies if you let them know. But it was also really cool that you can explore the farm to see where the food is grown and their dedication to sustainability. It's impressive! Don't hesitate any longer and book your stay at Ololo - it's 100% worth it and you won't regret it!!!!

I wouldn't hesitate to return to this beautiful lodge. In fact, I would make sure to have an extra night or two at the beginning of a safari trip so that we could have a couple of nights at Ololo. We loved our room in the old stables-the bed and pillows were especially comfortable! The staff are wonderful and did everything they could to ensure our comfort. Meals were top notch and house wines and spirits were more than adequate. We took advantage of the morning and evening game drives and were thrilled to see such a variety of animals in a relatively small game park! We also really enjoyed our visit to Sheldrick Trust to see the work that they are doing to support orphaned elephants. Magical! Lastly the pickup and drop-off service makes navigating the airport and Nairobi a breeze.

As soon as I came to the national park, I was taken care of. The team is extremely professional and profoundly human. You can feel that they love their job with all the little attentions they provide you with during your stay while giving you total privacy. Their schedule flexibility allowed me to do as many activities as I pleased such as game rides, elephant orphanage visit. The food was exquisite and presentation, top tier ! Ololo Team, thank you so much for such an amazing experience. I was on a solo trip but I never felt lonely. You made my trip feel very special ! Hope to see you all again soon
