You could see wildlife in abundance, without even leaving the luxury of Ol Malo House. But that would missing the point.
From the shaded terrace of your traditionally-thatched rondavel you could watch eagles soaring in circles high above the Uaso Nyiro River. Or you could saunter to the edge of the plateau and watch the wildlife – Ol Malo means ‘place of greater kudu’ – visiting the watering hole and salt lick spread out before you.
It’s a tempting idea – Ol Malo does hold all the creature comforts and provide fantastic views over the countryside towards Mount Kenya – but you’d miss the overnight leopard watches, the game drives, the night camps, the camel safaris, the bush breakfasts…
