I will do my best to answer your questions - think nothing of them being many. :-) Although I haven't been to Olepolos in a long time (because I no longer live in Nairobi), I'll share with you what I remember. If anyone else has more recent information, please share with Shiku. I am not sure what entertainment Olepolos has for kids. At the time I used to go there, I was a young bachelorette so children's entertainment was the last thing on my mind.;-) Allow me to say simply that I don't remember seeing anything particular for kids, though there's A LOT of space for kids to run around and frolic in. I'd have loved hanging out at Olepolos as a child, especially if I was there with other children. There's no particular entertainment for adults either - though none is required since the backdrop scenery of the Rift Valley is simply magnificent. Occasionally, the Maasai who live at Olepolos go from banda to banda singing and dancing, but that is only for a short while. Again, IMHO, entertainment is not necessary. With good company, it's almost impossible to be bored at Olepolos (I think one could eveb enjoy it alone! :-)). To the best of my recollection, there is no entrance fee, and yes, the food served is nyama choma style. I know they serve chicken too, but generally it's basic nyama choma fare. I hope that helps a bit. Have a great time with your family when you go. Cheers, Biche Hi Shiku,

I am not sure whether you've already taken your workmates to Olepolos or not, but if you haven't then I hope this post and the comments on it can give you an idea of what there is to see there and how much you can expect to pay for things. I am sorry but I can't give you more precise information than this because I haven't been back to Olepolos in the past two years. I wish you a good visit if you ever do decide to go there.

Did you get a whole goat? If so, how much were you charged? As for the whole goat, although I have done this with friends in the past, I have no clue how much we paid for it.

Given my late response, you've already probably been to Olepolos and realized that they do allow carried drinks. Was this your experience? If so, were you charged a corkage fee? Do you remember how much? Biche Hi Judy,

I am not sure whether or not there are night activities at Olepolos. I've always left before nightfall, at which point it's pretty isolated. You'll have to find out more from the establishment. Might anyone else have a definitive answer about this? Biche Hi Pash,

Unfortunately, I am not able to answer the questions you posed because I am not a representative of (nor work at) Olepolos Country Club. I am also unable to trace a telephone number for them online (though I did try). Might any of you, my other readers, be able to help Lucy? Biche Hi Lucy,
