Ol Malo, "the place
of the Greater Kudu," is Colin and Rocky
Francombe’s home. The 5,000 acre ranch
and game sanctuary lies along the Uaso Nyiro
River on the edge of Kenya’s Northern
Frontier District. It is home to the nomadic
Ndorobo people.
Built of natural rock with
thatched roofs, Ol Malo is shaped by rocks
and the curve of ancient olive wood. The separate
living area and dining room, each with an
open fireplace for the cool evenings, have
large windows facing a magnificent view. Guest
cottages are discreetly nestled between rocks
on cliffs overlooking a much frequented water
hole and salt lick, surrounded by miles of
rugged bush with the loom of Mt. Kenya beyond.
A beautiful free form swimming pool is perched
at cliffside and offers an incredible view
of the valley below.
Days at Ol Malo are as full
or unruffled as guests prefer. Enjoy picnics
and sundowners in the bush, day and night
game drives, escorted walks for birds and
game viewing, camel treks, visits to colorful
Samburu manyattas and day excursions into
the forests of the Karisia Hills. More than
50 different species of wildlife have been
seen, from elephant and kudu to klipspringer.
Also, more than 185 species of birds have
been identified at Ol Malo.
Colin and Rocky offer guests
a very personal and delightful experience
in this peaceful wilderness. Accomodations
are four luxurious and spacious double guest
cottages, each with private verandahs, huge
baths, and fabulous views. Capacity
