The Untold Story of Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort

Posted on Tue November 11, 2025.

Discover the inspiring transformation of Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort;from a reclaimed swamp to a serene eco-sanctuary just 1km from Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park. Experience Kenyan hospitality where nature, history, and comfort unite.

It began as a quiet dream at the foot of the legendary Mt. Kilimambogo, just one kilometer from the famous Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park. The land was once a swamp; waterlogged, overlooked, and seemingly impossible to reclaim. But where most saw mud and marsh, a few visionaries saw hidden promise. They saw a story waiting to be written.

With patience and persistence, the land slowly came back to life. Native trees were planted, gardens began to flourish, and the air once again filled with the sound of birdsong. What was once dismissed as barren became a sanctuary where nature and people could coexist in harmony.

From that transformation, Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort was born;a place where comfort meets culture, and where Kenyan hospitality is expressed through every detail. Each space within the resort is a reflection of purpose, beauty, and balance.

Our rooms tell the story best.
