Olkeju Bar
The Spirit of the Gathering Place
Welcome to Olkeju Bar, the soulful social heart of Amboseli Safari Club nestled beside the pool. ‘Olkeju,’ meaning a place of gathering in Maa, perfectly defines this open-air sanctuary inspired by the deep Maasai reverence for nature and community. This is where safari stories are exchanged, new friendships are forged, and the pace of the wilderness sets the rhythm of your day.
More than just a pool bar, Olkeju is an invitation to connect with fellow travelers, with the serene landscape, and with the timeless tradition of sharing tales under the open sky. It’s a refreshing oasis of calm and camaraderie.
A Day of Refreshment at Olkeju
From a morning cool-down to an evening of shared stories, Olkeju provides the perfect backdrop.

Morning Refreshments & Light Bites (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM)
Ease into your day with a fresh-squeezed juice, premium coffee, or a smoothie enjoyed from a lounger. A selection of light breakfast pastries and healthy snacks is the perfect complement to a leisurely morning by the water. -
Afternoon Poolside Cool-Down (1:00 PM – 6:00 PM)
The quintessential Olkeju experience. Refresh after a game drive or simply while away a sunny afternoon with our signature cocktails, locally brewed craft beers, or non-alcoholic specialties. Our menu of light, flavorful snacks is ideal for a casual lunch or shared platter by the pool. -
Evening Tales & Sundowners (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
As the day cools, the atmosphere becomes convivial. This is the time for classic safari sundowners, handcrafted cocktails, and perhaps a chance to hear stories from our Maasai guides. It’s a warm, welcoming end to an adventurous day.
