Ololoolo Escarpment Hike Expedition at Mara Serena Safari Lodge

The Ololoolo Escarpment, forming the western edge of the Mara Triangle, rises 400 metres above the plains and offers panoramic views of the savannah below.

Due to higher rainfall, the escarpment is home to lush vegetation, freshwater streams, rocky crags, and wetlands. Winding through this landscape are historic WWI-era trails, once used by German forces. They add a sense of history and adventure to the route.
