This is a family ranch and game sanctuary in Kenya’s wild Northern Laikipia Province, the heartland of the Samburu tribe. Privately-owned by the Francombe family, it sits on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau.
Ol Malo offers the perfect mix of home comfort and luxury with a gentle balance of feeling at one with nature. Experience Africa by foot or on horse or camelback. Situated in the deserts of Samburuland, a former overgrazed cattle ranch, this 5,000-acre ranch undergone a transformation. Consequently it’s a successful conservation site today.
Our luxury in Laikipia safari is perfect for honeymooners and families
Four rock and olive wood cottages nestle in the cliffs. Each room is private with its own veranda, ensuite bathrooms with the famous Francombe baths. Because of the great vantage point rooms have far reaching views towards Mount Kenya. To cap it all there’s an infinity pool for cooling off or simply lounging alongside.
