Moonlight Tours Expedition – Ololo Safari Lodge: A Tranquil Escape at Nairobi National Park

Discover the ultimate blend of natural beauty, African charm, and luxury at Ololo Safari Lodge, a hidden gem located on the edge of Nairobi National Park—the world’s only wildlife reserve that borders a capital city. Just 45 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the lodge offers an effortless start to your safari adventure, with direct access through the park. From the moment you arrive, you can immerse yourself in the magic of Kenya’s wilderness.

Originally built as a family farmhouse, Ololo has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming lodge that exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Seamlessly combining classic African safari living with the modern comforts of a luxury hotel, Ololo invites you to relax and unwind while experiencing world-class service and a true connection with nature.

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Nairobi National Park from the lodge’s expansive verandas, where you can watch the park’s wildlife in action. With lush gardens providing sanctuary to over 500 bird species, you may even spot four of the Big 5—lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino—right from the comfort of your terrace. (Though elephants are not part of the park’s wildlife, the experience is equally incredible.)

The lodge offers exclusive access to Nairobi National Park via its private footbridge across the Mbagathi River, allowing guests to enjoy morning and afternoon game drives and guided nature walks within the park. Ololo Safari Lodge is known for its relaxed style, exceptional hospitality, and superb meals, prepared with fresh produce from the lodge’s own ‘shambas’ (vegetable gardens).

The main lodge area is housed in a tastefully restored farmhouse, featuring an inviting living space with an open fireplace, serene library, and an excellent selection of fine wines from the stone cellar.
