The most magical place and experience of a lifetime. Thank you , all at Ol Malo Lodge for sharing your place with us. PS- the helicopter ride was breathtaking. ❤️

I chose Ol Malo for my first African horse safari and it really did surpass all my expectations. The lodge was beautiful and my room was absolutely gorgeous. Rustic African charm with breathtaking views you can only dream of. The hospitality was off-the-chart, everyone made me feel very much "at home", the food was delicious and the horse-riding safari was epic. A big thank you to everyone at Ol Malo who made my solo-travel experience so enjoyable and memorable. I will be back for sure to try the treehouse and the chopper experience.

This place is amazing!! The service, rooms, food, and location. On the way to get to this place, we saw many safari animals in their habitats. We saw a giraffe, elephants, impalas, warthogs, etc. I cannot say enough about this place. Absolutely amazing!!

Very clean, safe and activity filled. Hosts Andrew and Chula are kind and knowledgeable. The rooms and grounds are unique and comfortable. The hike+camel+bush breakfast with Colin was a highlight. The other highlight was the helicopter ride. No words can describe the sights and experience. It’s worth the money.

We loved everything about this place! Beautiful, comfortable, organic rooms. Spectacular setting, great staff, delicious food. Sleeping in the platform up in the tree by the watering hole was amazing! Being able to sleep safely under the stars & gently wake up to the sun rising right in front of us was such a epic experience. We saw many animals & even a cheetah eating it’s kill in a tree. We went to a local market which was super interesting & eye opening! We rode camels for the first time & had a yummy bush breakfast after our ride. So many choices of things to do! Would absolutely recommend this place! We LOVED it!! We only had a few night there & wish we stayed longer. They really took great care of us & made our stay unforgettable!
