Affordable African Dream Vacation - Olson Villa Mambrui Kenya Sleeps 8 adults
Olson Villa is a very beautiful, modern and clean 3 bedroom 3 bathroom single family home. It is situated in Karibuni Resort Mambrui. The wonderful decor comprises of King size beds and outdoor Swahili beds. This Villa can accommodate a maximum of 8 people. The resort bylaws only allow 8 people in a three bedroom house. All resort amenities including but not limited to the TVs, the bars, restaurants and swimming pools are open all year round and available for our guests' use. I am reachable by phone, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp or via email 24/7. Karibuni reception staff and our friendly housekeeper are available to answer all your questions while you are on vacation. They will welcome you and make sure you are settled and will be available to answer all your questions and attend to you. For additional personal services (cooking, washing dishes and doing your personal laundry) and for room service, there will be an additional charge paid directly to the housekeeper. You can discuss those charges with her as they are not part of the daily rate you paid. For resort amenities available to you, more assistance is available through the resorts front desk . Please note that a group of 5 adults and a toddler will comfortably utilize the two bedroom two bathroom lower section of Olson Villa. The upstairs will not be accessible. If however a group of this size prefers to utilize the whole Villa, they can do so at $30 extra per day. This will have to be arranged during the reservation so please make sure to make the request at that time. Failure to do so will mean the upstairs section will not be prepared for your groups arrival and will not be made available during your stay. It will be locked up for the duration of your stay. It is therefore very important to include it in your reservation if you intend to book all three bedrooms. For your privacy during your stay, you will be the only guest(s) hosted at Olson Villa. We do not book two different groups at the same time even if only one traveller is using the Villa. House parties are only allowed if you have requested to have the party during your booking. The Karibuni Resort management needs to know in advance if our esteemed clients are going to have a party. For security reasons and bylaw compliance, advance notice is a requirement. NO NOTICE NO PARTY!!
Thank you for choosing to vacation at Olson Villa. We are so honoured to host you and we look forward to meeting you and your group.

Villa Olson, nice getaway.
Quiet and serene location. A stroll on the beach was very therapeutic.
The team at the Villa reached out to us while we were still enroute, very reassuring indeed.
The restaurant with in the premises was responsive to our requests. The stay was enjoyable and the location very convenient for us.
