Ol Donyo Lo Sirua is located in Saikeri, Kajiado County, and is 27 km / 45 minutes past Ngong Town. Specific directions are provided to guests upon booking, in consideration of availability and other guests’ privacy. The last rains affected some sections of the 11 km murram road, and it’s a bit bumpy now. We advise that you visit with a slightly raised car if possible. A low profile car will still get you there though, taratibu.

Experience the joy of minimalist living in our beautiful cabins. These cozy spaces, hidden in Maasai land, give you a variety of tastes. Each cabin is a haven where you can unwind, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy time with those that matter.

Enjoy the Poet’s Retreat, the 3-storey 20ft container with an amazing breeze and spectacular telescopic views. Look out for the poem written on the side of the container – it tells a story!

Indulge in the Quiet Lair wood cabin, surrounded by silence and birds. This 1 bedroom unit is minimalist yet spacious. Be sure to sneak in a sunrise view of Ngong Hills on the rocking chairs outside – it’s really special.

Get cozy in the Rustic Monk – the tiny minimalist unit right next to the kitchen garden. Would you like to try prepping meals in an outdoor kitchen right by the bush? Then, this is your space!

Bookings done via the website calendar on www.oldonyo.com ; we accept MPESA, card, and a myriad of other payment options via PesaPal’s secure platform. Please note that each unit accommodates up to 2 pax.

The stay is self-contained, and all units are equipped with a gas cooker. If you so wish, an on-call chef will be made available with advance notice (minimum rate of KES 3,000 a day for 2 pax). The location is in the bush, hence it is preferred that you purchase your favorite ingredients in Ngong / Nairobi in advance – in liaison with the chef. The chef menu is accessible here, and you can also make special requests / discuss with the chef in advance:

Ol Donyo Lo Sirua is an eco-friendly space that is fully solar-powered. We therefore use energy friendly approaches, including each facility using:

Our cabins were designed to be enjoyed comfortably all year round. We have fireplaces in the wood cabins, and briquette heating for the container deck. Be sure to carry something warm for evenings.
