About
Ololo Safari Lodge & Farm - Nairobi
Ololo Safari Lodge & Farm sits on the southern boundary of Nairobi National Park, close enough to the airport to make it a practical first or last stop on a safari. The lodge runs its own farm, so meals are built around produce grown on the property, and the outdoor pool and sun terrace look out over the park.
Beyond the game drives, the property keeps guests busy with archery, badminton, and table tennis. The main lodge has a spa and wellness centre offering head and full-body massages, while the farm provides a sense of place that's rare this close to a capital city.

In brief

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 05:00 to 10:00, which can feel rushed for a leisurely morning—though it suits travellers catching early flights.
- No pets allowed — The lodge is strictly pet-free, so anyone hoping to travel with an animal will need to look elsewhere.
- Category scores are mixed — While rooms and service score highly, one underperforming category (7.1) drags the overall impression for some guests.
- Price point is premium — From £650 per night, this is an investment—though the reviews and service levels largely justify it.
