Ol Malo House was designed and built by the Francombe family. The hub of the house is a large and beautiful sitting and dining room – with open fireplaces – encircled by three en-suite double bedrooms.

Separate cottages (Hippo and Crocodile) create a further three double bedrooms: each private and comfortable cottage has arch windows and doors, en-suite bathrooms, and decor inspired by the area’s wild landscape, local flora and the life and culture of the Samburu people. Lighting is handmade by the Samburu women creates a warm ambience and welcoming atmosphere. A flagstone path leads to a large open area overlooking the infinity pool and this incredible land’s wide-open vistas – perfect for al fresco dining. A barbecue area creates a wonderful place in which to end the day under a star-studded African sky.

On one end of the house there is one separate cottage, Hippo, encompassing two ensuite bedrooms with a shared living area (Hippo). This cottage could be combined with Ol Malo House making Ol Malo House ideal for bigger groups traveling together, or the two can function independently.
