Ol Tukai Lodge

Meals are served in the vast indoor dining room, outside on the terrace, or in a secluded bush setting under the stars. The glamorous Elephant Bar is a popular spot for a sociable cocktail whilst a second bar area on the rooftop terrace offers spectacular views of the surrounding reserve and Mt Kilimanjaro at sunset. There is a shop selling all sorts of safari bits and pieces, a health spa, comfortable guest lounge with Wi-Fi and a large swimming pool and sun deck a short distance from the main area.

There are eighty luxury chalet-style twin or double rooms constructed from local timber, thatch and river stone, with uninterrupted views of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding wildlife-rich marshlands. All have en-suite bathrooms and private terraces. The self-contained Kibo Villa is a beautiful, sole-use cabin with three bedrooms, a roof terrace and jacuzzi. All the accommodation is beautifully appointed with a simple luxurious African style, modern amenities, and well positioned within the lovely gardens to offer a peaceful retreat.

The lodge offers a fabulous array of activities, including guided bird walks through the grounds, informative conservation displays and regular lectures from the elephant research team and resident cultural experts. Guided game drives are offered in Amboseli National Park, with excellent photographic opportunities of the beautiful elephant herds against an iconic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro (bring your camera just for that!). For something more relaxing, spa treatments are at your service.
