Colin and Rocky Francombe, both born in Kenya of settler families, designed and built Ol Malo with a deep understanding of how it should be. Colin and Rocky, and their son Andrew, are glad to share their knowledge and love of this magical land, account their tales and adventures with its wildlife and Samburu peoples and welcome you to their extra-ordinary bush home in Kenya - Ol Malo. Place of the Greater Kudu.

Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau nestled into a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honoured lands of Kenya's Northern Frontier District. An ancient land inhabited by wildlife and peoples of a time long ago, undisturbed and living by the rhythm of nature, there, as part of this untamed and beautiful landscape is Ol Malo.
To stay at Ol Malo is to live by a different rhythm - measure the day by the timeworn patterns of nature.

Activities :

• Wake up to see the mind-blowing sunrise, framing the snow-capped peaks of Mt Kenya.
• Celebrate the new day with a dawn ride into the wilderness.
• Feel the night's chill burn off with the rising of the great equatorial sun.
• Keep the tempo with the world by the roll of the camel's stride.
• Visit the colourful Samburu nomads of the North and sink with the dying sun into the waters of the pool.
• At night luxuriate in the peace and comfort of Ol Malo and tune into the magical sounds of wild Africa under an ancient starscape.
• To stay at Ol Malo is to abandon oneself and live by another drumbeat in a wild and beautiful land.
