Accessibility goes beyond infrastructure. It is about creating an environment where families with diverse needs can relax without stress, where corporate teams can host inclusive conferences, and where every guest feels seen and valued.

A Conference Centre Designed for Focus, Strategy and Experience

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0200

The best decisions are rarely made in crowded offices.

At Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort, our conference centre was designed for organizations that understand the value of stepping away in order to think clearly.

Strategically located in Machakos County at the border of Kiambu County, just 26 kilometres from Thika town and one kilometre from Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park, the resort offers accessibility without distraction.

A Space Built for Productivity

Our conference facilities are ideal for:

Strategy meetings and leadership planning sessions
Corporate retreats and departmental offsites
Training workshops and team alignment sessions
The setting allows teams to engage deeply without the interruptions of everyday office life. Natural light, open surroundings, and calm spaces create an environment that encourages focus and meaningful conversation.

As we explored in Team Building at Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort Where Work Meets Nature, productivity improves when environment supports clarity. Our conference centre reflects that philosophy.

Beyond the Boardroom
What sets us apart is not just the meeting space. It is what happens around it.

During breaks or after sessions, teams can:

• Take guided hikes around the surrounding hills
• Visit the expansive pineapple farms surrounding the resort for a farm tour experience
• Plan an excursion to Macmillan Castle, a historic landmark that adds cultural depth to any corporate stay

These activities allow teams to unwind, reconnect, and return to sessions refreshed and more aligned.

For organizations that want more than just a meeting venue, this blend of structure and experience makes all the difference.

Accessible Yet Transformative
For companies based in Thika and Kiambu County, the short drive makes same day conferences possible. Teams can arrive in the morning, hold productive sessions, enjoy lunch on site, and return before evening.

For longer retreats, overnight stays allow for deeper engagement and stronger team cohesion.

At Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort, we believe business and environment should complement each other. When teams think better, companies move forward.

Plan your next conference or corporate retreat in a space that supports both strategy and experience.

Sustainability in Action: Our Ongoing Partnership with Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0200

At Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort, sustainability is more than a concept. It is part of how we live, host, and experience the world with our guests.

Our resort’s location just one kilometer from Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park means we are surrounded by nature’s gift and its responsibility. Guests who have enjoyed adventure during times like World Tourism Week at Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort – Adventure Meets Comfort know how close the park is to our doors and how enriching that connection can be.

But proximity alone is not enough. Respect for the land and the ecosystem that makes this place special informs everything we do. This philosophy has deep roots. In The Untold Story of Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort, we shared how this land transformed from a reclaimed landscape into the serene escape you know today — a story of care, persistence, and partnership with nature.

Our most recent sustainability initiative was a collaborative clean up visit with the team at Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park. This was not a one-off activity. It is part of an ongoing effort to support conservation, protect natural spaces, and reinforce the importance of environmental stewardship in the region.

The clean up focused on areas used by visitors, helping reduce waste that can harm local wildlife and degrade valuable habitats. Working with park officials strengthens not only the environment but also our relationship with the community that cares for this land.

For us, sustainability connects to every part of the guest experience. From the way we design meals and select ingredients (as showcased in A Refined Culinary Experience at Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort) to the opportunities children and families have to enjoy nature during visits like The Ultimate Holiday Camp for Kids, our approach is holistic.

We are committed to protecting this environment so future generations — whether families, couples, or solo adventurers — can enjoy the same pristine setting that makes every stay meaningful.

Visit Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort and be part of an experience that values sustainability as much as comfort. For bookings and enquiries, call 0724176518.

The Untold Story of Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0200

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.

Sembi Rooms – Executive Elegance

In Kamba, Sembi means fast — a symbol of energy, focus, and forward motion. Designed for professionals and travelers who value both productivity and peace, these rooms blend modern comfort with a calming environment. They are ideal for conferences, business retreats, or simply finding stillness after a busy day.

Mashipei Rooms – Family Haven

In Maasai, Mashipei means joyous ; the perfect name for spaces built to celebrate togetherness. Warm, spacious, and welcoming, these rooms bring families and friends closer. Whether you’re sharing laughter over a meal, relaxing after a day of swimming, or preparing for an outdoor adventure, Mashipei Rooms are designed to feel like home.

Today, Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort stands as a celebration of Kenya’s eco-tourism spirit ; proof that beauty can emerge from patience, and luxury can live in harmony with nature. It is a place that honors our roots while welcoming every guest to create new memories within its story.

Every sunrise here is a reminder of renewal. Every guest who visits becomes part of a continuing journey, one that began in a swamp but grew into a sanctuary filled with life, comfort, and connection.

At Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort, we don’t just offer a stay. We offer a story. A story of transformation, of belonging, and of the magic that happens when nature and vision work together.

A Weekend Away at Ol Donyo Sapuk: Nature, Laughter, and a Little Bit of Magic

Fri, 23 May 2025 00:00:00 +0200

I’ll admit we were overdue for a break. Between work, school runs, and the usual city chaos, we were running on fumes.

So when my partner suggested we “just drive out of town for the weekend,” I didn't ask questions.

We packed light, threw snacks in the back seat, and headed toward Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort.

Just an hour from Nairobi. That’s all it took. One hour and suddenly, we were surrounded by trees, fresh air, and a silence that felt like a warm hug.

Day 1: A Walk with the Wild

We kicked off our weekend with a bit of adventure. First stop? Oldonyo Sabuk National Park just a short distance from the resort.

We did a slow, scenic hike up Mount Kilimambogo .Not too intense, but enough to stretch the legs and shake off the city stiffness.

Along the way, we spotted a few grazing buffalo in the distance, monkeys leaping through the trees, and birds we couldn’t name but loved anyway.

The views from up top? Worth every step. You could even catch a glimpse of the Fourteen Falls from certain lookout points.

And on our way back? We stopped at 14 Falls for a quick detour. No boats.

Just the rush of water crashing down, the mist rising like smoke, and that almost meditative sound of nature doing its thing. We stood there longer than we expected, quietly soaking it in.

By the time we returned to the resort, we were famished and exhilarated. Dinner never tasted so good.

Day 2: Just Pure Fun

The next day, we decided: no plans. Just vibes.

We started with horse riding a first for our youngest, and now apparently her new favorite thing.

After that, it was swimming, Jenga, table tennis, and yes, a competitive round of “Kenya at 50.” The gents discovered the pool table and disappeared for a solid hour, resurfacing only for snacks.

And then… karaoke night.

Let me paint the picture: the stars are out, a saxophonist plays smooth, soulful background tunes, and the resort host charming as ever opens the mic.

I wasn’t planning to sing. But somehow, I did. And surprisingly? I wasn’t terrible! The people around, the host, they all clapped like I’d won an award. It was the kind of moment you never plan but never forget.

The best part?

We found out just before leaving that we’d actually booked during one of their special offers. Total win.

They run family-friendly accommodation deals quite often, so keep your eyes peeled. The place is not only scenic and peaceful it’s super child-friendly.

The staff? Warm. Attentive. Like they’re rooting for your rest.

So here’s our review, from one family to another: take the weekend. Make the drive.There’s a good chance you’ll come back feeling lighter, happier, and ready to do it all again.

Oh and check their offers page. You might just get lucky like we did.

Breakfast with horses at Ol Donyo Sapuk

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0200

Ol Donyo Sabuk is a little town located on the boundary of Kiambu and Machakos.

Boda boda motorists honk loudly as they speed past— leaving nothing but a thick cloud of dust in their wake.

Pedestrians and cattle jostle for space along the roads and you might even wonder how the makeshift petrol station you will fuel at is even operational, but perhaps all these add to its charm.

Only about two hours away from Nairobi, expansive pineapple farms sprawl on for acres and in the distance lies Mt. Kilimambogo, all begging to be explored by the curious wanderer.

Where to stay

Early Saturday morning, I found myself standing on the dewy lawns of Ol Donyo Sapuk Resort animatedly chatting up the executive chef as he picked fresh mangoes that would be used for breakfast later that morning.

Built to resemble an old English farmhouse, the resort offers quite the idyllic setting for either an active or unhurried countryside retreat.

The resort has a stable from which we hired two horses to go riding around the town, and they even joined us for a picnic on a separate morning.

Seeing as they grow a lot of their produce, you can also go wander around the farms, get insight on their agricultural projects and chat up the farmers.

Hiking Mt Kilimambogo

If you are not up for the hike, you can drive up to the summit for a picnic. I was, however, itching for a thrilling, high-altitude excursion and therefore had the resort pair me up with their experienced resident guide, Yemen.

He regaled me with interesting tales about the mountain, the buffaloes after which it is named, the town as well as its people and their history.

Located within Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park, it was a 9.2 kilometres hike to the top which, given your level of physical fitness, is relatively easy and should take about two hours to the top.

Getting to the observation deck, I was greeted by perhaps the most striking spectacle that this corner of Kenya has to offer.

Viewing the vast town and its surroundings from this singular vantage point was quite the surreal experience and for a moment, I felt every bit like toddler gleefully staring down at a magnificent toy set dotted with tiny little buildings, farms, dams and more.

After a quick stop at MacMillan’s burial site, we made it to the summit which was actually a bit of an anticlimax as the view is marred by thick vegetation which can however not be cleared since most of the plant species are endangered.

The thrill of having summited a mountain is however what makes it all worth it, since if you can conquer a trail that seemed almost impossible to hike, you can overcome any challenge that life throws your way.

It started pouring heavily on our way down and the resultant muddy slippery red soil and loosened rocks made the descent a lot more gruesome than it should have been.

It was like being a participant in an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls in usual daring and borderline dangerous flair, only without the dramatic soundtrack. Never hike a mountain in the rainy season, especially not as an amateur.

Tour MacMillan’s Castle

According to my guide Yemen, Lord William Macmillan was a heavyset, seven foot tall, decorated American soldier who got knighted by the King of England.

The McMillan Memorial Library which was named after him but he was a big game hunter and it is whispered that he had ambitions of owning Mt Kilimambogo upon which he was eventually laid to rest with his wife and dog.

In its heyday, the 32-roomed castle notably hosted former American president Theodore Roosevelt and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

There is a dark underground bunker where prisoners were kept, underground tunnels where secret meetings were held during the wartime, and more.
