We
stayed
at
Ololo
Safari
Lodge
in
July
2021,
and
the
best
way
to
describe
it
is
a
hidden
gem
within
Nairobi
National
Park.
We
had
finished
a
five-night
trip
in
the
Maasai
Mara
and
wanted
somewhere
we
could
relax,
and
this
was
the
perfect
place
to
do
that.
We
were
picked
up
at
the
gates
by
Sam,
our
guide,
and
we
loved
his
introduction.
Even
though
we
had
already
seen
so
many
animals,
he
took
the
time
to
show
us
around
the
park
and
explain
what
we
could
see.
He
is
such
a
great
guy.
When
we
arrived
at
Ololo,
we
were
blown
away.
It
was
a
beautifully
sunny,
chilly
afternoon
and
the
whole
lodge
felt
like
a
breath
of
fresh
air.
We
were
greeted
by
James,
who
would
be
looking
after
us
whilst
staying.
He
made
sure
we
were
happy
throughout
our
stay
and
always
had
a
way
to
make
us
smile!
Peter
and
Brian
took
care
of
our
luggage.
We
already
felt
at
home!
I
was
also
happy
to
meet
Francis,
who
I
had
been
communicating
with
on
email
before
arrival.
Even
though
we
had
the
option
to
do
game
drives,
we
decided
to
take
a
few
days
to
rest
and
enjoy
all
the
lodge
had
to
offer.
We
did
visit
Sheldrick
Wildlife
trust,
and
this
transfer
was
included
as
part
of
our
stay.
Our
tented
cottage
was
beautiful,
and
we
loved
the
surroundings
on
site.
It
was
so
great
to
see
all
the
majority
of
food
is
grown
or
sourced
on-site,
which
made
for
a
few
days
of
excellent
feasting.
We
had
a
guided
tour
of
the
farm
by
the
very
knowledgeable
Duncan,
and
this
is
a
must-do
whilst
staying
at
Ololo!
I
also
had
a
great
chat
with
one
of
the
Maasai,
Frederick.
You
must
say
hi
to
him.
The
fact
there
is
the
farm,
the
workshop
and
lodge
all
on-site,
you
will
be
delighted
staying
here.
The
food
is
seriously
so
good,
so
I
say,
eat
every
meal
at
the
lodge!
We
met
Joanna,
the
owner,
who
was
lovely
to
chat
to
and
find
out
about
the
lodge.
We
also
got
to
met
the
cheekiest
of
staff,
Fred.
Fred
is
a
golden
retriever
puppy
who
gave
us
much
entertainment
while
staying.
Our
stay
also
included
a
return
transfer
to
the
airport
by
Emmanuel.
I
would
highly
recommend
staying
at
Ololo
Lodge
and
thank
you
to
the
whole
team
for
looking
after
us.
We
can't
wait
to
visit
again!
