About this property
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Shiro Olson

We live in BC Canada. Our daughters are thirteen and fifteen and are very athletic and like track and field, dance, volleyball and basketball. We have a 7 year old dog named Benji who absolutely loves his family and we love him too. He is a husky, shepherd and collie cross so he is very intelligent. He has still to come to Kenya but I am not counting on it, he doesn't really like the heat that much.
Why they chose this property
I am originally from Nairobi Kenya and as a young girl we always went to coastal Kenya for the best vacations. I dreamt of owning a home in coastal Kenya one day and so when my friend told me she had seen this villa on sale and that it was a good price, I bought it immediately. I had not even seen it. I bought it from the photos she sent me. A month later, my daughters and I left for Kenya and invited my cousins to meet at Olson Villa for a family reunion. It was a blast! So I fixed up the Villa slowly and now with my husbands help, we have done more renovations and updating.
What makes this property unique
The villa is in a Resort so basically it feels like we are always on vacation while there. We don't have to cook or leave the resort for anything since we have everything there. We go out to have a change of beach activities and to visit the National Parks but otherwise most of the meals are available at the local kiosks at incredible prices. There's also a lady who cooks and delivers most meals and then there are the Karibuni restaurants, pizza garden and our warm neighbours. Karibuni also has several weekly or daily specials at the restaurants and Pizza Garden
