Ol Malo, Laikipia, Kenya

Ol Malo, meaning 'the place of the Greater Kudu', is the stunning home of Colin and Rocky Francombe.  The 5,000 acre ranch and game sanctuary lies along the Uaso Nyiro River on the edge of Kenya's north-eastern province.  It overlooks the Mukogodo, home of the nomadic Ndoroho people, with views that unveil the very face of Africa.  Built of natural rock with thatched roof, and shaped by the rocks and the curve of ancient olive wood, their home overlooks a much frequented water hole and salt lick, surrounded by miles of rugged hush with the loom of Mount Kenya beyond.     With only four guest cottages, the hospitality at Ol Malo is outstanding - the Francombes offer their guests a very personal and exclusive experience in this peaceful wilderness.  With a wide range of activities available, Ol Malo provides an experience, which cannot be matched anywhere else.  No. of Bedrooms 1 double and 2 twin rooms, all with bathrooms en suite (2 rooms have extra beds for triples, if required).  Each room has a private verandah.
