Olarro is situated in South Western Kenya in the Loita Hills Massif. Olarro, Maa (language of the Maasai) for
‘the Buffalo’, is 6000 feet above sea level, nestled in the Enkijape hills about 200 kms from
Nairobi. It is situated on a 20,000 acre private Conservancy surrounded by 130,000 acres of
Maji Moto Group Ranch, owned by the local Maasai people. The Conservancy sits along the
corridor of the annual wildebeest migration and plays a significant role in the Greater
Nguruman, Loita, Mara, and Serengeti ecosystems.
A unique, artistically-styled retreat built with undulating curves that mimic the rolling
hillside in which the lodge is set; blending it effortlessly into its surrounds. The interior is a
cool white, accented by earth tone accessories and enhanced by modern décor chosen for its
quality and the integrity of its design. The lodge runs on eco-friendly principles not only in
design but in its use of resources. It employs state-of-the-art wind and solar power
technology.
Main Olarro has seven cottages. Six of the cottages are co-joined through a common
sitting area, ideal for groups of friends or families. Visitors to Main Olarro cottages
dine in the Northern Lounge which overlooks the savannah. The Northern Lounge overlooks the Loita plains , the expansive decks offer 180 degree views across a pristine corner of Africa.
There is also a sundeck, lounge area and bar, as well as an ‘under-the-stars’ open air
fireplace.
Meals are prepared using the finest, fresh ingredients and are served either in the
Northern Lounge or at a poolside table under the stars. The swimming pool is a series of
small, inter-linked pools, providing guests with privacy and the ideal place for a cool dip to
escape the heat of the African sun. There is an adjoining Mini Spa that offers a full range of
treatments and services - an ideal way to relax at the end of the day.
For those guests seeking total privacy and exclusivity, Little Olarro is a private house
located a short distance from the main lodge. It has a luxury suite with a master
bedroom, a smaller twin bedroom, lounge, dining area and veranda, all offering
stunning views of the Loita plains. Little Olarro has its own entrance, private kitchen
and deck area. The Deck Lounge is the private lounge exclusively for guests at Little Olarro. The two storey
structure houses a fully-equipped kitchen and massage room on the lower level and a
spacious lounge, dining area and sundeck on the upper level, affording breathtaking views of
the Loita plains.
