Who we are

A country club rooted in Maasai country.

Olepolos sits on the edge of the Rift at Kisamis, where the road climbs out of Nairobi and the land opens to the plains. We're an open-air place built around the grill, come for nyama choma and Kenyan home cooking, cold drinks, a pool, room to stay the night, and a view that goes on forever.

  3. Room for everyone

    Big portions, big welcome, groups, families, business or pleasure.

  4. Unhurried

    Choma takes time. So does a good afternoon. We don't rush either.
