Creator's Key Takeaways

Out of the five places we visited when in Kenya, I thought this region was the most beautiful, mainly because we stayed at the Malo Lodge, which had spectacular views.

I loved our time there.

It was a bucket list experience though that I probably won't repeat, but fun nonetheless.

It was truly a magical experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“For seniors, traveling in Kenya can be difficult on the roads, but if you can fly, as we did, it makes the travel much, much easier.
βœ“For solo travelers, the biggest hurdle of a Kenyan safari is the expense. I joined a small group, which made the cost more reasonable.

Should you include a trip to the Ol Malo Lodge in a Kenya trip? I think so! It was one of the most beautiful places I visited during a two-week Kenyan wildlife adventure. The Ol Malo Lodge, which is privately owned, is a conservation and eco-tourism ranch in Kenya's northern Laikipia region. Ol Malo partners with the Samburu Trust to protect and secure the future of the Samburu people and their land through education, conservation, healthcare, water supply, women’s opportunities, and eco-tourism. I appreciated their mission and it was evident in everything during our stay. The luxury lodge is stunning. It is hand-crafted and every room is different, creative and somewhat quirky, which makes it so special. The staff caters to each visitor's individual needs and gives you options for your experiences. This can include game drives, horseback riding, camel riding, picnics, sunset viewing, hiking and much more. The meals were wonderful and presented in different locations around the site. It was truly a wonderful and magical experience! @seniorsolotravel Senior Solo Travel Website, where you will find links to travel videos from around the world: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/travel Travel Facebook Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Ol Malo Website: https://olmalo.com/ Our trip included stays in Nairobi, Samburu, Lake Turkana, and Ol Malo/Laikipikia.
