Absolutely nothing!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ololo. The Staff are amazing, so helpful and always on hand! Ololo is family run (special mention to Fred the family dog) so you feel like you’re really part of the group! The game drives are brilliant and led by very knowledgeable guides, we managed to see 4 of the big 5 in just a couple of days! The food is fantastic, brilliant portion sizes and all home made. We also visited the farm at the back of the property and it was great to see first-hand how Ololo is virtually self sustainable. Our room was so cosy and we even had monkeys playing outside our window most afternoons. We can’t wait to come back soon! HIGHLY recommend.

The lodge was absolutely gorgeous! The staff were amazing, went over and above. Lovely turn down service in the evening and the game drives were great! Lovely small pool and outdoor sitting area. Food was outstanding! Best I had the whole time in Africa. Cute little monkeys come to the property morning and evening. Can see giraffes, rhinos etc from the garden when having lunch. Truely amazing experience.

Nothing! Everything was as good as it gets!

Ololo is everything a traveler to Nairobi could hope for: an authentic stone farmhouse transformed into a lovely safari lodge within the Nairobi National Park that offers first class lodging and gourmet dining, a garden swimming pool, attentive staff, twice daily game drives into the Park and excursions to local attractions on request. All this is located just minutes from downtown Nairobi.

For the time we were there we liked everything

This is a beyond amazing place not only to stay but also experience a sustainable farming and ecosystem life. The owner Joanna and her family did an amazing job, to create such a beautiful place. Very child and family friendly for safaris, meals were fabulous, lots of things for children to enjoy. Cannot recommend enough, as we saw almost all animals you would spot in wildlife safaris. The only downside people should know is the airplanes passing over to Nairobi airport and it can be very loud at night, but second jight you dint hear them much :) and they provide earplugs. Photos are as they are seen and even more beautiful, rooms and style is amazing. We loved it and hopefully will be back one day.

It's hard to think of anything I didn't like. It was genuinely a very positive experience. Some of the other guests were a bit noisy but that's not the fault of the lodge.

Ololo Safari Lodge is a wonderful experience and a great place to base your safari experience from. The food was fabulous and the staff are so attentive and helpful. They take great care of you and they have thought of everything. A wonderful place to stay and a great location.

Our stay at Ololo was the perfect start to our vacation. The staff was incredible and went out of their way to make the experience fantastic. The game drives were so special! And of course the food from their organic farm exceeded my expectations. It was so wonderful to have choices for every meal and they were all incredible. We loved the views from the lodge and the drives in the park were some of the best I ever experienced because it is a small park you are able to see so many animals, very closely and in a short amount of time. Truly an amazing and special place!

What's not to like?

Met at the airport by hotel lodge driver and car was very welcome and convenient as was the airport drop off. All the staff were very nice, polite and friendly and a real asset to the lodge The game drives (2 each day included in package) are the highlight of the day, our driver/guide Washington was great We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back and recommend to our friend Perfect for couples and families alike

A slight annoyance is that the lodge is under the airport flight path but it was not a problem to us and did not detract from our enjoyment this wonderful property.

Outstanding location within Nairobi National Park and much better than we ever expected. Rooms very clean and were serviced twice a day. The all inclusive board was wonderful. Much of the produce is grown on the adjacent Ololo Farm. All the staff were exceptional and went that extra mile. The twice daily safari drives which were included were fantastic and the photographs taken will be a lasting memory of our visit.

Fantastic service and lovely staff. The owners were always on hand and were extremely friendly. Great food and beautiful surroundings. It was much nicer than staying in a sterile Nairobi hotel. Game all around. We even saw a lion from the swimming pool. Kib, our guide was wonderful.

Well, the pool looks like more than a pool for bugs, but it is Africa, so you should be ready for some bugs in a pool

Location is wonderful, staff is very friendly and food was delicious

we stayed in a standard rooms, the bathrooms are very small and we had nowhere to put our toiletries bag, except on the floor.

Very friendly. the food was of an exceptional quality. Staff were extremely courteous. Top notch service. the complimentary laundry and free ride to the airport were well-appreciated. it was restful and it is a nice place to stay whether on a way to a longer safari or on a way home before a long flight.

Only down side way that being close to the airport a blessing and a curse. It’s easy to get to but you do sometimes have planes fly over. We didn’t find this ruin our stay though.

The property is beautiful and set in the Nairobi National Park. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing and attentive. Especially James, George and Joy who makes amazing Dawa’s. The owner is very friendly and makes a point to get to know you.For Christmas they had a lovely meal and all the guest join together. I think it really says something about the place if the locals choose this place again and again to stay. We had an amazing time

There is something truly special about Ololo Lodge. The setting, the food and accommodation all exceeded expectations. I loved seeing the farm and of course going for daily game drives to spot animals. As a female solo traveller, I felt so welcomed by staff, guides and family who own the lodge, as well as getting to know other guests on game drives. Can’t wait to visit again.

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.

There is nothing to dislike about Ololo Safari Lodge.

The interior is vintage and I absolutely love it. The dining area is exceptional and the bed extremely comfortable.

There’s nothing to declare.

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
