Owning and operating Ol Bobongi House is a dream come true for Jane O’Hagan who has spent many years in Laikipia photographing the stunning landscapes and wildlife high in the mountains and the vast wilderness of Northern Kenya.
Jane believes Ol Bobongi is the perfect launch point to explore all the Laikipia region has to offer from the incredible conservancies and wildlife of Ol Pejeta, Lolldaiga, Mount Kenya and the Solio Conservancy. But better yet, is the return after a dusty safari day to your luxurious and spacious home base at Ol Bobongi House.
Jane’s vision is to provide an unforgettable, authentic East African stay enjoying our private 15 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds in our gorgeous and expansive house, beautifully appointed, impeccably furnished throughout from the moment you walk through our carved doors. Jane’s enthusiasm for the Mount Kenya area is something she wishes to share with guests as the preferred destination in Kenya for those who want to enjoy a family experience, get close to best wildlife viewing in Kenya while encouraging guests to spend as much time as they can making memories, once in a lifetime family experiences while on safari or just enjoying a weekend break.
At Ol Bobongi House, we want you to experience the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth while staying at a place you will always want to call home.
